Academic Integrity
Students at Khon Khan University are engaged in the first step for their professional career with the highest standards. Please follow the academic integrity guideline at Cheating and Plagiarism [@CMU]. All these rules are enforced for the entire course.
Project
The course includes either hands-on project (either implementation or simulation [See OPNET and NS2]) and/or comprehensive survey in the second half of the semester; however, the hands-on project is encouraged (10% extra credits). Projects will be executed individually, but a small team is also allowed (please advise the instructor). The final outcome of the project MUST be something visual and/or be written in a professional form [See IEEE journal format]. Latex format is encouraged.
Note that all term papers (reports) MUST be proof-read (including peer review process) from a professional English department (contact Jame AT SC6602) before final submission.
There is about 15 mins for final presentation and/or demo. (TBA)

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: the accepted paper will be granted 10% additional of total grade (an acceptance letter is informed by final exam day).
