2. set up vmware/virtualbox -set up web/telnet/ssh server and set up php/mysql -put (1) in this server
3. set up vmware/virtualbox -set up wireshark/tcpdump to capture packets when telnet/www
4. set up port/host scanning tools (kku.ac.th)
5. use nslookup/ping/trace/route/netstat/ other networking commands
6. write a simple hello world program over network (mobile)

Note: These are group projects BUT grading individually *write who do what in what%?*

Grading: (tentative)

Mid-Term Exam (Lecture+Lab)	22.5%+2.5%
Final Exam (Lecture+Lab) + CCNA Module I exam	27.5%+2.5%
Homework + Lab + Quiz + Class participation	25%+2.5%
Small Project	2.5%+2.5% (grading individually)
Term Project	20%+5% (grading individually)

Note that students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam with additional non-memorized calculator
The final exam material will be after the mid-term; however, all related contents will be also covered.
The exam includes 1. True/False (+1, -1, and 0), 2. Numerical and Analysis, and 3. Fill in the blank.
The final grade will be curved based on the overall performance of the whole class (probablistic clear cut-off point).
Note 1: Extra Credits +2.5% to 5% 1st round competition; +5% to 10% Final round competition; Published Paper/NSC/Cisco Netrider/CCNA or CCNP or CCIE Certification/Imagine Cup/Samart etc. **>1% for taking a Cisco Netrider
Note 2: Students who pass CCNA exam (with CCNA certification) will be granted 10% additional of total grade. (Students can request 50% discount voucher after completing a 4-semesters exam)
