This thesis is based on my own experiences during studies at Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences and with its entire Cisco subjects that Kyamk is offering.
The Cisco exams were based on checking of the teachers allowing for human mistakes. That was not the only problem, in case that more students at the same times needed teacher to check their task-based progress during exam, it slowed down student progress. Secondly, the students self studying at school or at home lacks teacher’s help making them struggle, sometimes maybe even get stuck, however, still without feedback from the teacher. Lastly, in case of teacher who made the scenario was missing, it was almost impossible for the substituting teacher to check the results without long preparation.
The aim of this thesis was to create an algorithm that checks student’s input, processes it and gives a feedback in case of correct configuration.
At the end the result is a demonstration of practical use on the advanced routing exam offering fast checking with feedback. Even though the work is a demonstration and is therefore an alpha version, it shows advantages of using algorithm instead of a human. In future the environment could be fused with existing VirtualLab. It would offer checking during the exams that fasten up the process not interrupting student’s workflow. Giving feedback to a student when he is working alone or self studying at home, deepened not even the practical skills but even theoretical knowledge with good written feedback.
