Tutorials

The weekly tutorial sessions will provide supplementary material to augment the lectures in CPSC 441. Some tutorials will cover new material that does not fit within the lecture time slots available (e.g., history of the Internet, network security). Some tutorials will present additional examples to reinforce the concepts and principles covered in lectures (e.g., TCP RFC 791, IPv6, Mobile IP, Ethernet, MPLS). Some tutorials will provide specific assistance with assignments (e.g., socket programming, HTTP) and study tips in preparation for exams.

Attendance at CPSC 441 tutorials is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged. The TAs are there to help you learn and apply the material covered in the course. Regular attendance at tutorials and a solid effort on your part will help ensure your success in the course!
