Introduction to CNA course and housekeeping: 50% of your grade will come from the CCNA1 course. Students who get into academic trouble in the Computer Networking Academy are those who under estimate the amount of learning that takes place here. You will be learning something new everyday. If you aren't paying attention (i.e. looking at your phone) and staying engaged you will miss out on the opportunity to learn. You're wasting your time and my time. Distracted students get behind because they don't learn the material or miss the instructions. Discussion: Electronic Devices, Academic Intgrity, Video Surveillance polices from student handbook.
