Note:
1. Each full stated above lab will be issued every Friday.
2. During the lab hour, there is "one" additional lab needed to complete WITH in-class submission -There is no Internet conneciton during the lab.
You MUST zip all file into StudentID_LabZ.zip such that Z is Lab number.

Assignments (Spring 2011 schedule) (Subject to Change)
Four or six homeworks will be assigned throughout the course. All assignment MUST be turned in as both HARDCOPY and SOFTCOPY (during class or in my mail box). All submission MUST be turned in 15 mins before class. For all reasons, late penalty will be applied. Late homework will be assessed a 30% penalty. No homework will be accepted more than one day late. You have to email me to cs322114@gmail.com including title prefix = "322114_Spring2013_XX:HWY" such that XX is your section number and Y is your homework number. You MUST zip all file into StudentID_HWZ.rar such that Z is homework number.

Final Exams
Lecture:
Allow: calculator (talks to the department for specific models)
Allow: One (hand-written) A4 piece of paper (both front and back)

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.

Grading:

Final Exam (Lecture + Lab)	20% + 20%
Lab/Homework + In-Class-Quiz	15% + 5%
Term Project	15%
Class Participation	5%
Lab Marathon + Inclass Quiz	15% + 5%

The final grade will be curved based on the overall performance of the whole class (also scale based on the standard, say, A = 80).
Note: Extra Credits +5% 1st round competition; ++5% Final round competition; +++10% = winner for ACM/ICPC
There are also bonus questions often given (upto 15%).
