Subnetting

 

During this unit you will need to earn 525 points to receive an A. This sheet will serve as your grading sheet. Everything, with the exception of the reading assignments and quizzes, is due after the unit test. Attach this sheet to the top of your packet of work and have the teacher check it off.

 

This is an “on your own” unit and the entire unit must be completed correctly for any credit. If you do not do all three sections, and all of the items in each section, you will receive an incomplete.
