	=== ~~Social, Ethical and Professional Issues in IT ===~~		=== [https://www.netacad.com/ Basic Networking] ===
	~~Rather interesting lectures read by~~ [~~http~~://www.~~kakupesa~~.ee/ ~~Kaido Kikkas~~] on ~~computer~~ and ~~hacker history and related topics~~.		Cisco Networking Academy's course read by Roman Kuchin, by the end of which you'll get a CCNA certificate (if you pass). Be aware that the tempo is quite high - 2 Cisco semesters during fall semester! That is 8 weeks per Cisco semester, which consists of parts 1 and 2, so 25 labs per semester, about 50 in total, about hour to hour and a half per lab, plus chapter exams. Read, the chapter and do the chapter exam on netacad and read for the next lecture. This way you'll understand better what is said during the lecture. Also, this course is a prerequisite for [[#Introduction to Cyber Security\|Intro to CS]]. Again, collaborate! If in hurry, do the labs on packet tracer but nothing beats doing them IRL.

	'''Grading:''' ~~A quiz in the first practicum about computer related history~~ and ~~trivia in a computer lab where you'll~~ be ~~using~~ the ~~Web to find the answers. Practicum attendance is a must, max 3 total non-attendances allowed. 1-2 written essays~~ (~~2k words~~) ~~with presentations.~~		'''Grading:''' Online exams and practical labs must be done before the exam date (preferably by Christmas), to be admitted to the exam, which is in late January.

	~~=== Oral and Written Communication Skills ===~~
	~~Valuable English language taught by Kärt Rummel. Be prepared~~ to ~~get over stage fright as you will have~~ to ~~present your writings (letters of motivation~~, ~~informative and persuasive arguments etc)~~ in ~~front of your class.~~

	~~'''Grading:''' Ongoing assessment - do your homework, attend your classes and you'll be fine. >=51% rate of attendance and participation in final round-table is necessary to pass~~.
