Abstract :
In the computer networks course, experiments are critical complements to lectures. Experiments help students understand how networks and protocols work and learn how to build and manage networks in practice. Problem-solving skills are also developed from experiments. Adopting Problem Based Learning methodology, we designed an experiment structure and implemented a series of experiments, simulating professional practice or real life situation. Positive feedback from students proves that the experiment innovation is a good start.
