Teaching technology provides instructors the opportunity to grade and assess many hands-on projects with a specific predicted outcome. However, along with the hands-on assignments, we are also tasked with grading writing assignments. A student will not automatically know what we mean when we assign a low grade without meaningful information to accompany the grade. In this assignment, you will practice evaluating student work and offering constructive feedback to learners.
Instructions
You will use the Learner Evaluation Assignment Grading Rubric to grade this Completed Assignment written by a student in an undergraduate program. The student wrote the Completed Assignment based on the Student Assignment Description. Submit the Learner Evaluation Assignment Grading Rubric, which allows a maximum of 9 points. In addition, provide the student with qualitative feedback about areas where the student can improve.
Your assignment will be graded according to the following criteria:
Evaluate the format and style of a student assignment.

Completed Assignment
This is the paper that the student produced.
How would I describe a local area network? Wow, that is a tough question to answer. The network usually has locations in various cities and is connected to a mane location in a larger city.
Telephone line are used to connect the networke from one town to another town across the country. A switch and a hub may be used in the different towns to pass data to the clinets in the towns(Cisco, 2007). If the netork goes down in one town it may go down in another town since all of the equipment is connected by the telephone lines. Thes lines are called circuits, but I prefer to call them telephone lines.
I have seen this happen in my job where I am a nerwok administrator for a company that I will not name at this time. If you go to the website of http://www.cisco.com you will find more information about a local area network that you can read in your spare time. You can also find drawings of netwoks that are popular with some companies. I did not use the drawings for this paper since it was only two pages.
In conclusion, this is a tough question to answer, so I guess I could say the that it is best to go to the Cisco website to look at the best designs.
