English Interface
Network Simulation and Testing
Spring 2005
Please also note that all communications in this class
will be in English. There are a number of reasons for this:
- Ease of preparation: the instructor is simply more fluent in
English when it comes to technical matters.
- Awkward translation: there are too many technical terms in
computer science that are difficult to translate to make real sense.
The instructor would rather use the time for more stimulating
in-/off-class discussions.
- First-hand information: you get an internationally-consistent view
of the technical phrases. Shall there be new networking
technologies published (often in English), you get to comprehend it
first hand.
The instructor understands that English lectures could be a problem
for some students.
After all, the purpose of taking a course is to understand the
technical material and the lecture speeches are about the most
critical material to follow.
Lecture speeches are recorded as mp3 files and put available from
the course website. One can recap the lectures for as many times as
he/she wishes.
