    Mid-Term Exam (Lecture+Lab)25%
    Final Exam (Lecture+Lab) + CCNA Final Exam35%
    Homework + Lab + Quiz + Class participation25%
    Term Project + Networking Tool20%(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: Extra Credits:
  • +2.5 to 5% 1st round competition
  • +5 to 10% Final round competition; Published Paper/NSC/Network Security Contest/CISSP Certification/CCNA or CCIE Security Certification/Imagine Cup/Samart etc.
  • +1% for taking a network security contest exam
  • +2% if >80% of all students = course evaluation
