CAPSTONE PROJECTS CONNECT IDEAS ACROSS CHAPTERS. Each chapter concludes with two capstone projects that progressively build on previous chapters’ work, guiding students to weave threads of knowledge throughout the course, from chapter to chapter, revealing connections and interactions with ideas that are not possible when studying each chapter in isolation.
SCENARIO-BASED PRACTICE QUESTIONS. Scenario-based practice questions in each chapter give students an authentic learning and testing experience while helping students visualize applications of the concepts and technologies they’ve learned. These questions help uncover any remaining knowledge gaps or misunderstandings and show how the chapter’s concepts directly support troubleshooting situations.
EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION CONSOLIDATES SIMILAR CONCEPTS FOR A STREAMLINED PRESENTATION. This edition's proven, user-friendly structure of content enables deep investigation of concepts and skills from the latest Network+ N10-009 exam without requiring you to extensively restructure your existing course or assignment schedule if you used the previous edition. The content continues to emphasize virtualization, troubleshooting and security with expanded coverage of cloud networking, secure network design, network visibility and the latest wireless technologies.
SELF-CHECK QUESTIONS ENABLE STUDENT ASSESSMENT OF THEIR OWN LEARNING PROGRESS. Major sections within each chapter conclude with a few self-check questions, enabling students to assess their own learning and apply ideas in active engagement. The ability to self-assess encourages students to take charge of their learning process and apply critical thinking skills as they progress toward their learning goals.
