Abstract

Many institutions have been pushed by the recent economic crisis to reduce expenses by cramming students into huge lecture groups. Large auditoriums have the drawback of discouraging student-faculty interaction and limiting participation. Additionally, students typically discover that the discipline of computer science is replete with theoretical and technological notions. They get disinterested and/or unmotivated when there is a lack of understanding. The lecturer should use alternate teaching techniques, particularly for first-year undergraduate students, to pique their attention and introduce fundamental ideas, according to classroom experience. This paper has outlined a few strategies for engaging students and fostering a sense of ease while they learn fundamental ideas about computer networks.
