homework: 

1.  Take another Transcender practice exam and bring the results to class (or slip them under my office door).  This will be part of your homework for each remaining class that we meet.  These can be custom exams or random exams.  Think an hour a day every day, rather than nothing for a week and then cram for 7 hours.

2.  Catch up on the reading.  Reread the sections where the Transcender exam reveals you to be weak.  There are little mini-labs just dying to be configured through out the book (page 465 is an example of a mini-lab).

3.  Catch up on the labs.  The reading may or may not stick in your head.   If you drill yourself on the labs, the information will stick.

4.  Read BSCN, pp. 612-653.  More important - create labs using the exams in the book.

5.  Review the commands in BSCN, pp. 677-691

6.  I seriously doubt if any of you need any more than this.  However, there is always one or two students who want to do more.  In Doyle, there are various exercises that you can turn into labs (Use the three backbone routers if you need 5 or 6 serial connections in a row).  Also, if the explanation in BSCN is not getting through to you, try reading on the same topic in Doyle.  A different author, a different perspective, worded just a little bit different, and suddenly the meaning becomes clear.
