This semester, we will focus on Android CAI Applicaiton; Android Emulator will be our main tool (require JAVA skill - eclispe)
Links here are useful for Android programming: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
Some of Android application: http://www.android.com/market/#app=com.wsl.CardioTrainer; http://androidapplications.com/
However, we do not limit to Android platform. Iphone OS application, WII-based applicaiton, Kinect application, WP7 application AND Sensor Network are also possible.
The quality of the project is to submit for NSC contest, Microsoft Imagine Cup, and Samart Innovation.

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

Grading: (Tentative)

Mid-Term Exam	20%
Final Exam (Lecture + Lab)	20% + 10%
Homework + Lab + Class Participation + Quiz	10% + 10% + 5%
Project (Final-Term Project)	25% + 2%(market)

The students are allowed to bring only "ONE" piece of A4 paper in each exam. 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 +5% 1st round competition; +5% Final round competition; +10% = winner for NSC/Imagine Cup/Samart
