Slow Costly Non-Effective Fast

The document appears to be a midterm examination for a data communication course, consisting of 24 multiple choice and short answer questions testing students' knowledge of topics relating to data communication protocols, network topologies, and standards. The questions cover asynchronous and synchronous transmission, encoding techniques, the OSI model layers, network topologies like mesh and bus, and terms relating to bandwidth, throughput, and data transmission standards.
