Fundamentals of Networking and Data Communications, Sixth Edition Preface-3
Chapter Outline: The chapter is presented in outline form to provide a way to quickly determine
the contents of each section.
Lecture Notes: Text material for every chapter is summarized to provide the user with a
convenient overview of each chapter to organize a lecture or other classroom presentations
around.
Quick Quiz: These are 3-5 questions an instructor can pose to the class to determine if they are
understanding and mastering the material. If the class cannot answer the quick quiz, they need
more explanation. These quizzes are meant to be an informal oral quiz to ensure the students are
grasping the material
Discussion Topics: A series of topics related to material in each chapter are provided. These
items can be used in the course lectures, developed in classroom discussion, or used as research
ideas.
Teaching Tips: This section offers ideas to add spice to lecture-based presentations of the course
material. Tips range from in-class exercises to Internet-based resource utilization.
Solutions to Review Questions and Suggested Solutions to Exercises: At the end of each chapter
are numerous review questions and exercises. While the review questions are simpler and cover
the basic concepts presented in the chapter, the exercises require a more in-depth examination of
the chapter materials. All solutions have been provided except where student answers may vary.
