There were two reasons for this. The first is that most students have somegeneral knowledge of HTML just by virtue of their daily interactions with the web. The secondreason is that there is a wealth of tutorials available on the web, which students could access.Students were told to work through a web tutorial that covered basic HTML and that a quiz onHTML basics would be given on a specified date.

A recentreport by the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) 16 in the US has stated that, for thisreason, “graduate students can enhance or impede a collaboration, but they are almostalways used”. However, given that there is considerable evidence in the literature ofsignificant problems arising from fundamental differences between academia and industry, itseems

To create an integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum that is applications oriented and makes extensive use of calculator, computer, and information technology.2. To make the curriculum appealing to students so that it fosters excitement for learning, enables students to apply mathematics, and develops skills for the workplace by promoting teamwork and oral and written presentations.In presenting mathematics as a unified topic, we strive to preserve the

Teri Rhoads uses Jigsaw to introduce new topicsin both her graduate and undergraduate quality engineering courses. She explained that that “Iuse Jigsaw whenever I would like to cover multiple topics, usually from more recentpublications.” 1 After reading the article(s) on their assigned topics, students become the team’s“expert” in that topic and are responsible for teaching the other teammates what they havelearned.Both Richard Felder1 and Darwyn Linder 1 spoke highly using pre-designed methods asparticularly useful for faculty who are just beginning with A/CL.

However, we wanted to use additional laboratory materials that enable our studentsto capture packets off the “live” network and analyze them. Since these kinds of equipmentare very expensive, we have started experimenting with free network analyzer programs thatwe can currently download from the Internet instead of buying the actual hardware/software.These freeware networking programs have different purposes and capabilities.
