Base Knowledge
Not Applicable.
Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical Classes: Presentation of fundamental concepts, protocols, and basic network services to provide essential skills for practical lessons.
Practical Classes: Hands-on development of study, design, and implementation of network services.
Throughout the course unit, gamification techniques will also be used to enhance learning.
Learning Results
The Network Services II course continues the path started in Network Services I, addressing more advanced network services that are typically of greater interest to institutions. The study of these services takes place in Windows Server and Unix Server environments, covering installation, configuration, maintenance, and support, as well as issues related to the integration of services between different platforms (Windows/Unix). Basic security issues related to these services are also addressed.

Mario Enrique Figueroa BlancoGrading Methods
All students must ensure that their mailbox is operational, checked daily, and has sufficient space to receive regular emails, maintaining a reliable communication channel with the course instructor. Deadlines and other elements communicated via email that are not met may result in failure of the course unit.
The M1 assessment methodology, as defined by the School, will be adopted for this Course Unit. As clarified in an email from the ISEC Vice-President (2021/11/19; 18:07), this methodology consists of continuous and/or periodic assessment, which concludes before the exam period, with no additional evaluation or final exam taking place afterward.
Students with a special status, formally recognized by the Academic Services, who are unable to attend classes regularly due to justified reasons, must notify the course instructor as soon as possible via a properly documented email. This will allow for alternative assessment arrangements that align with the constraints justified by their special status. These students are also responsible for following the course from the beginning of the semester and maintaining regular contact via email and the Nónio platform.
Students who attended the previous edition of the course but did not pass, while having attended at least 75% of the classes (including justified absences), must follow the same procedure as students with special status who are unable to attend regularly.
Any student unable to attend an evaluation moment due to a validated justification approved by the course coordinator must inform the instructor as soon as possible via email so that an alternative assessment date can be arranged.
