0. General instructions
• Language of the reports is Finnish, Swedish or English.
  
• The labs are done in groups of two persons.
  
• The course should be finished within the fourth (IV/2008) study period.
• When you write reports you are not supposed to copy the text directly eg. from the background material or other sources, but rather write it in your own words. It is also encouraged to use more than one source.
• In case of fraud the following rules will be applied.

The final grade of the course
• The works have the same emphasis, except the grade for the work 27-IPv4 Routing which is emphasized with 2.
  In the case you choose to do three labs (2 ECTS) the total grade of the course is calculated:
  (2xgrade(IPv4)+1xgrade(Security)+1xgrade(WLAN))/4
  
  The total grade of each lab work is composed as follows:
• The grade of the preliminary report +
• The grade of the final report -
• Working in the laboratory e.g. if you exceed the time reserved for the lab or/and need to reserve a new time that will lower your grade or if the assistant has to help you considerably in your lab performance that will lower your grade.

1. Preliminary report for every assignment (1/group)
• The questions can be found in the material.
• The title page of the preliminary reports should look like this (in English) and like this (in Finnish). This means that the title page should be identical with the model, TKK logo and the text in the same place, the font is Arial etc.
• The preliminary report should be returned through the reservation system (in pdf -form) at least three days before the laboratory assignment.
• As you write your report, you MUST ALWAYS include the REFERENCE where you got the material.
• You should prepare yourself well for each laboratory work. Read the work instructions and do the preparation tasks if there are any (in addition to the preliminary report). That will save you time, which is limited.

2. Laboratory assignments in the laboratory
• Both students must be present all the time.
• During the assignment students are recommended to make notes.
• The questions can be found in the material.
• The lab works give study points as follows:
  
  • 2 works give 1 ECTS
  • 3 works give 2 ECTS
  • 5 works give 3 ECTS
• One of the lab works must be 27-IPv4 Routing.
• Your performance in the lab will effect to the overall grade, e.g. if you exceed the time, if the assistant needs to advice you all the time and so on.

3. Report afterwards

• One report/group
• The questions can be found in the material.
• The title page of the final reports should look like this (in English) and like this (in Finnish). This means that the title page should be identical with the model, TKK logo and the text in the same place, the font is Arial etc.
• The report of the work '27 IPv4 Routing' should follow these instructions.
• The reports of every assignment should be returned through the reservation system (in pdf -form) no later than two weeks after the assignment.
  
• The laboratory time is three hours or five hours depending on the work. If you are not able to finish the work you may reserve a new time once, but it will have effect on your grade.
• If you still cannot finnish it, the work is considered failed.
• If you return the report in time but it is not accepted you need to correct it and return it within one week.
• If your report is still not accepted it is considered failed. In that case you are not allowed to do it again but you need to choose another work.
• Every assignment is independent from the other assignments and will be graded separately.

4. Personal report about learning during the course
• Personal
• The personal report has to be returned no later than two weeks after you have done all the lab works (together with your last report). Your grade will be sent to the registration office only after having received your personal report.
• The personal report is returned via e-mail to Vesa Kosonen.
• For more details look here.

5. Course adjustment
• Voluntary but recommended
• Personal
• At the end of the course you can also fill an electronic evaluation form for the department.

6. What to get feedback from your lab work?
• You can get feedback from your lab reports and the reasons behind the grading. We will arrange a meeting after the study period.

7. How to convert DOC files into PDF files?

Method A

In Office Word:
1. File -> Print...
2. Choose "Print to file".

Now you should have a PS file. Convert it into PDF for example by using the GSWiev program http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/.
1. File -> Convert...
2. Choose "Device" as "pdfwrite".

Now you should have a PDF file which you can return to the labwork reservation system.


Method B

Another way to convert files from DOC into PDF is to install a PDF printer into you computer. This kind of program is for example PDFCreator http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

Method C

Or you may use http://www.pdfonline.com.
