6. Acknowledgements: William Stallings.William Stallings All rights Reserved Grading There will be several assignments during the class, three of these will count towards your grade (you’ll get advanced notice). There will also be a mid-term and an end-term exam. These will be assigned about a week before the due date. Class participation and involvement counts! This should be an interactive experience even though we are remote. Please feel free to share information and ideas. Be willing to assist others. There will be a final project or paper due toward the end of the semester. The purpose of this is to encourage extensive research in the network security field. (This is for Graduate Students only) There will be no makeup tests (mid-term and end-term exams) or extended deadlines. Submitting the test on an alternative date is at the discretion of the instructor, but prior arrangements should be made (unless, in case of emergencies, when proper documentation should be provided). 6

12. Acknowledgements: William Stallings.William Stallings All rights Reserved Class Rules Unless specifically stated otherwise, assignments are to be completed individually. You are encouraged to discuss the understanding of a particular issue or class material with fellow students, but code and solutions have to be your own effort. Academic honesty is to be taken very seriously. If you submit work that references another person’s efforts, then you must properly attribute it to that person, otherwise it is plagiarism and you will receive zero credits. 12

Acknowledgements: William Stallings.William Stallings All rights Reserved Class Rules This is not a course on how to crack systems, however, it is practically impossible for us to avoid discussing security weaknesses in existing systems. Any attempt to use such information to gain unauthorized access to any system will be dealt with harshly. 13
