Lectures

The lectures define the formal content of the unit, and will be used as the initial point of reference for unit knowledge outcomes. This knowledge will be built upon by the tutorials and laboratories in order to address the higher level objectives relating to skills and and application.

The lectures will be held at 1300 (1pm) in H6 on Mondays, and 1400-1600 (2-4pm) in R3 on Thursdays (A short break will be held at 3pm during this lecture). The lectures are numbered in hourly slots in the timetable below, so the Thursday timeslot is regarded as the second and third lectures for the week.

The lecture slides are based upon the text book by William Stallings, published by and available from Pearson Australia (details on the resources page. You are allowed to access and take a copy of the slides for the purpose of self-study, but you must not redistribute them.

Further learning materials will be added to these pages throughout the semester, so please watch this space! This page will be updated regularly to reflect past practice, current happenings, and future intentions. Lines in red represent completed activities.

Lecture Timetable

In this table, green entries have been released to students, black entries are in draft form or not yet available, while red entries indicate activities that have been completed.

The Content field identifies the relevant section of the text book, and is a link to the introduction page for the lectures. The PDFs column gives the page numbers of slides actually covered during the lecture, and is a link to the PDF versions of the slides. The Notes column refers to page numbers in the prescribed text by William Stallings (6th Ed.) The PowerPoint slide versions are also available, using the link under Notes.

The PDF versions of the slides will normally be used in lectures, and these are more suitable for printing should you wish to print hard copies of the slides. Note that there exist various tools for printing n slides per page (see, for example, this wiki article).

Learning Modules

This timetable is structured into topics, rather than weeks. It gives a more logic view of the content of the unit, rather than a temporal one. Links to the actual lecture numbers covering the topic are shown in the Lectures column.

The Title column contains a link to the introduction to the topic. Titles show "greyed out" are supplementary material for the unit, and are not examinable.
