Networks: Friends, Money, and Bytes

Mung Chiang

A course driven by 20 practical questions about wireless, web, and the Internet, about how products from companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Ericsson, HP, Skype and AT&T work.

  Dear FIX, Onto day 3 of launching on coursera, here're some updates: 1. Lecture video caption: some are not properly in sync. We're contacting coursera, which runs captioning from our video, about this. Subtitles in other languages: the best solution is actually crowd-sourced into your hands. Slides: I sometimes clean up the non-essential drawings in the version of slides ready for your download. 2. Homework: The first one is handed out at Princeton today, so in synch with that will also be on coursera later today. Usually a homework consists of 5 questions, the first one only 3 because we had a lecture 0 with no "real technical content" this week. We will provide standard solution on coursera one week afterwards. Please do your homework first, then self-grade, then report your grades through a weekly homework grade survey (where we ask for each question if you a. get completely or almost completely right, b. partially right, c. essentially wrong, d. didn't attempt that question). There is no pass/fail/certificate/Kudos at stake here, your feedback is purely for us to adjust our teaching in the future, so please enter the actual data in these surveys. 3. Textbook: kindle version should be out at the end of the month (the more demand on hardcopy, the earlier Amazon starts producing kindle version accordingly to some secret formula). As a bridge, we have provided the first three chapters in PDF format on the course website. 4. GCH/IIP, Kudos, and login www.network20q.com: more information coming up on these this weekend and the next week. 5. If you haven't done so yet, please fill out the demographics survey by clicking that link on the left panel. It only takes 2 min and will help us understand the class composition. We're responding to forum, email, FB, tweets, as much as we can too. Talk to you later. Mung Chiang and Teaching Staff Friend us www.facebook.com/mung.chiang.5 Follow us @network20q



Hi Everyone in Networks FMB! We received some requests to provide the lecture slides as a suppliment the videos. We have done so, and you can find them under the "Lecture Slides" tab that we added to the left panel. Enjoy!
