General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information CSU Transferable Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Example: Online Discussion After completing the AWS Module 3 information post a short few paragraphs explaining in your own words the difference between AWS Regions, Availability Zones and edge locations and include a bit of information about why or when each may be used. When you have finished your post read what others had to say and reply to at least 3 other student posts. Objective Examinations Example: Students will be given a knowledge check quiz at the end of each section/module containing multiple choice questions. They will also take a practice certification test. Grading will be based on percentage of correct answers and used to measure the level of understanding of the topics covered. Example Question: True or false? Unlimited services are available via the free tier to new AWS customers for 12 months following their AWS sign-up date. Answer: False Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will complete hands-on lab activities using instructions provided through an online lab environment and will be graded based on accuracy and completion of assigned tasks. Example: In Lab 1: Introduction to Amazon Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2), students will use the AWS Console to launch a web server with termination protection enabled, monitor their EC2 instance, modify the security group that their web server is using to allow Hypertext-Transfer-Protocol (HTTP) access, resize their EC2 instance to scale, explore EC2 limits, test the termination protection, and terminate their EC2 instance. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: Students will use an online lab environment to get hands-on experience in the Amazon Console using the step-by-step instructions for the Introduction to Amazon EC2 Lab. In this lab, students will launch and configure their first Microsoft Windows virtual machine running on Amazon Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2). The instructor will help as needed, clarify concepts, and verify completion of the task. Lecture: Instructor will utilize the lecture materials provided by Amazon to give a lecture describing the six advantages of cloud computing and how it helps organizations make the decision to get out of the low-value parts of IT and focus on what drives business success. Students will listen and engage in discussion with their peers regarding the advantages. Distance Learning The instructor will provide online lecture replacement materials such as reading or Amazon's slides with audio. Students will listen/read and learn about the best practices for Day 1 with an Amazon account. They will take notes and practice these actions in a lab.
