Learning Log for Data Networks: Week 5 and 6 (Defense)

It’s been 4 weeks since I enjoyed using the Packet Tracer and with this joy, there are problems that is needed to be faced. Midterm is coming and we all had to study hard especially in our Data Networks and Communications subject specifically our midterm paper presentation. For me and only my opinion, our midterm paper proposal is just a misunderstanding or a miscalculated draft because when we did that draft, we were not able to study more about our proposal and we didn’t have time to really analyze it more, piece by piece. I hope that we could really present our midterm proposal harmoniously and thoroughly without any misconception and misinterpretation. For the past 2 weeks, I have been thinking about our proposal, what we should do, when we should be clarifying it, and how will this work for our group. For the week 5, we only had 1^st meeting, but it should have been 2 due to weather condition, and the first meeting was we did exercise number 5 that shows connection from department to depart, enabling them to transmit emails bi-directionally. The second meeting was unexpected and this is the time when we prolonged our midterm paper and state what we have learned in the internet about the given topic to us. Since the beginning when we passed our midterm paper, I did expect any major corrections, but when we received our drafts it’s just minor corrections and I didn’t expect that kind of feedback because our group knows that it was not well developed, fetus as we say. In the 1^st meeting of week 6, we were relief and glad because we had received much tips and guidance from our professor regarding our proposal, this event had brighten up my day and gave me the will to do the midterm presentation. Also in the 2^nd meeting of week 6, we had learned different kinds of protocols and give me some push on how should I mold my proposal because I know that our proposal is just in the clay layer and it should be well molded before the midterm week. Sad to say that midterm is just days away, but happy to say that there would be a short vacation for us to relax our mind and remember our loved ones who had fallen asleep, I know that we could exceed our best and hope that everything goes well according to our plan.
