ITNAA2 Advanced Networking Block 1


This module is presented on NQF level 6.
5% will be deducted from the student’s project mark for each calendar day the project is submitted late, up to a maximum of three calendar days. The penalty will be based on the official campus submission date.
Projects submitted later than three calendar days after the deadline or not submitted will get 0%.
This is an individual project.

This project contributes 20% towards the final mark.

Question 1 20 Marks

Study the scenario and complete the question(s) that follow:

Eduvos has a long history that started in 1979 with the founding of the Computer Technology Institute (CTI) that was later merged with Midrand Graduate Institute (MGI) and operated for some years as Pearson Institute of Higher Education (PIHE). The new name of the institution was the result of a change of ownership and a new focus on high quality, blended learning across Africa.

Eduvos is one of South Africa’s largest independent private higher education institutions with 12 campuses across the country and many international students. Eduvos offers 21 degrees in humanities, arts, business, applied science, technology and law. To support the learning ladder of people seeking to enter degrees we also offer Higher Certificate and Pre-degree programmes that enable access to degree programmes.

Section B

Plagiarism and Referencing
Eduvos places high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students and adopts a zero-tolerance policy on cheating and plagiarism. In academic writing, any source material, e.g. journal articles, books, magazines, newspapers, reference material (dictionaries), or online resources (websites, electronic journals, or online newspaper articles), must be properly acknowledged. Failure to acknowledge such material is considered plagiarism; this is deemed an attempt to mislead and deceive the reader and is unacceptable.

Eduvos adopts a zero-tolerance policy on plagiarism; therefore, any submitted assessment that has been plagiarised will be subject to severe penalties. Students who are found guilty of plagiarism may be subject to disciplinary procedures, and outcomes may include suspension from the institution or even expulsion. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with referencing techniques for academic work. Students can access the Eduvos referencing guides on myLMS.

Negative Marking

Second-year Students
• A minimum of 10 additional information sources must be consulted and correctly cited.
• If no additional information sources have been used, a full 10% must be deducted.
• Deduct 1% per missing resource of the required 10. For example:
o If only five resources cited, deduct 5%.
o If only three resources cited, deduct 7%.
• Markers to apply the penalties for Category A for insufficient sources and incorrect referencingstyle.
• To determine the actual overall similarity percentage and plagiarism, markers must interpret the Turnitin Originality Report with reference to credible sources used and then apply the penalties as per the scale in the Policy for Intellectual Property, Copyright and Plagiarism Infringement.  
• The similarity report alone is not an assessment of whether work has or has not been plagiarised. Careful examination of both the submitted paper/assignment/project and the suspect sources must be done.
