How unprofessional.
CL: the question in my mind is at what point do the digressions interfere with the learning process? Unfortunately, I have been in far too many classrooms where the non sequeters and the digressions take too much away from the topics that most students are there to learn. CL: besides - other than the fact that there is such a thing as cat 5 cable, what more needs to be said, particularly in a routing class? should the teacher stop and discuss the intricacies - the history of twisted pair, the different TP categories, the number of twists per inch, the low down ieee standard, the physics of the wire? because that's really the answer to the question. Not really relevant to routing, network addressing, and other CCNA topics. > > BJ > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alan" > To: > Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2002 2:57 PM > Subject: Re: OT: Is it worth it to pursue CCIE R&S and CCIE Security > [7:57954] > > > > If you arent teaching what a CAT 5 cable is or what and network is, then > you > > arent teaching the CCNA course as Cisco lays it out .
