Hi Bill,

(;

This is from the chapter that introduces the basic idea of layer models and network stacks - I actually use ISO/OSI there because it is neatly clear-cut, still used on layers 1-2, and because, well, the ISO lingo still floats aorund everywhere. But of course, the major block of the basic network part is TCP/IP where I teach those business (!) students the correct given names of the header bits of the protocols you mentioned - until they develop a pathologic love/hate relationship to internet protocols.

But there are no Mandarin translation parts...yet.

P.S.: "Fachchinesisch" lit.: "professional Chinese" = a German expression denoting overblown technical jargon that is used for purposes of information hiding.

Anyone also studying some German? Here is a slide I use in a class that introduces basic network & Internet technologies and their applications (I usually don't ask for that one in the exam, though).

There is a little problem with the Audio Review: After "National Football",  "National Football" is given as the English translation for the rest of the vocab as well.

From the Expansion sentence

他的论文漏洞百出，居然顺利通过了，没有遭到驳斥。

I figured that 驳斥 is also used for rejection in the sense of a rejection of a paper (e.g. for a conference or a journal).

Is that correct?

Hi Jenny,

is there a post-doc-thesis like we have it in Germany ("Habilitation")?

Posted on: Sex Education Class

Hi xiaophil.

actually, I don't beliefe it. That sort of behaviour is hard wired low-level ROM stuff - no need for academic teaching in any way. Much the opposite so: Adolescents don't need sex-ed classes because they don't know how to act. It is much rather necessary because they instinctively do.

Hi xiaophil,

maybe that is because at the end of the lesson Jiaojie and David specifically asked for comments describing first-hands experience. Those frequent-flyers are busy people :)
