==Course Description==
Provides basic installation, operation, security, troubleshooting and basic Linux hardware services for the Linux operating system on workstations and servers. This course helps students prepare for CompTIA's Linux+ certification exam, which covers the knowledge and skills essential for becoming a successful Linux administrator.
==Required Materials==
* CompTIA Linux+ Complete Study Guide (Exams LX0-101 and LX0-102) (Smith) ISBN: 978-0470888452
* External USB Drive, 50GB free minimum, flash drive or hard drive ''OR'' Laptop computer with at least 50GB free

* CNT CLASS Server (http://class.lextron.net)

=Lab Hours=
In addition to regularly scheduled class time a lab will be available for your use during during office hours on a first come, first served basis. Open lab time may also be available under the supervision of the lab assistant, see the [[Open Lab Schedule]] wiki page for more information. Students who do not show up for lab hours they have scheduled may be restricted from registering for lab hours in the future.

=Course Objectives=
The student will learn to:
* Identify Linux hardware requirements
* Install the Linux operating system
* Demonstrate how to configure various aspects and features of the Linux operating system
* Describe Linux management tasks
* Demonstrate how to compile and install open source applications in a Linux environment
* Explain the need for securing the Linux operating system and the methods for accomplishing this.
* Describe Linux hardware configuration options
* Explain the diagnostic troubleshooting process for Linux
* Demonstrate proficiency with the Linux command line interface (CLI)

=Assignments and Grading=
Grades will be determined by performance on unit multiple-choice tests, labs and a project. Information about specific assignments can be found on the course website. The due date and time will be included in the latest version of the [[Franske CNT-2311 FA10 Schedule|"Course Schedule" handout]] available from the course website. It is expected that assignments will be completed and turned in on time and as specified.

Failure to turn in one or more assignments without approval from the instructor may result in an additional lack of participation penalty of up to 20% of your course grade depending on the type of the assignment.

==Late Assignments and Extensions==
If assignments are turned in late 10% will be deducted for each day or partial day the assignment is late. '''If you are turning in an assignment late you must contact the instructor for information before the due date. Failure to do so may result in additional penalties.''' The grading of late assignments is given a lower priority and may take longer so students are encouraged to plan ahead and turn in assignments on time. Deadline extensions will not be given without written documentation from a licensed medical practitioner or other extenuating circumstances at the discretion of the instructor.

==Grading Scale==
{|
| A
| 100-90%
| B
| 89-80%
| C
| 79-70%
| D
| 69-65%
| F
| < 64%
|}

A = achievement that is outstanding relative to the level necessary to meet course requirements.

B = achievement that is significantly above the level necessary to meet course requirements.

C = achievement that meets the course requirements in every respect.

D = achievement that is worthy of credit even though it fails to meet fully the course requirements.

F (or N) = Represents failure (or no credit) and signifies that the work was either (1) completed but at a level of achievement that is not worthy of credit or (2) was not completed and there was no agreement between the instructor and the student that the student would be awarded an I (see also I).

I = (Incomplete) Assigned at the discretion of the instructor when, due to extraordinary circumstances, e.g., hospitalization, a student is prevented from completing the work of the course on time. Requires a written agreement between instructor and student.

==Grading Method and Availability==
Grades for this course are calculated based on a weighted points system. Each assignment, quiz or test is assigned to one of the weighted categories below and is graded on a points system. Your percentage is calculated for each category by dividing the points earned in that category by the points available. Finally, your percentage earned in each category is multiplied by the weight of that category and these are added together. The instructor may round up based on student participation and individual improvement.

{|
| Chapter Assessments
| 35%
|-
| Lab/Homework Assignments
| 25%
|-
| Written Final Exam
| 15%
|-
| Skills Based Final Exam
| 15%
|-
| [[Franske CNT Service Project Assignment|CNT Service Project(s)]]
| 10%
|}

Mid-Term grades are not officially distributed but assignment scores are made available in the online grade book and you may calculate your current course grade at any time using the above instructions and weighting.

==Extra Credit==
Students should not rely on extra credit to boost their grade and should instead complete each assignment to the best of their ability. However, from time to time extra credit opportunities may arise at which time they will be announced in class, by email and/or through the course website. Extra credit will be added to the Chapter Homework Assignments category.
