Instructions All students are required to normally fulfill all assignments, lab exercises,
exams, seminars, and classes requirements 100% with no exception.
All forms of assignments or seminars must be submitted or presented before
the deadline. Late submissions will not be excused.
Programming Assignments/Projects will be done in any of the following
languages: C/Assembly. You are therefore required to have a very good
background in these Artificial/programming languages. Thats, some
assignments will be coded using C, and others in Assembly as convenient.
Please update yourself accordingly.
All reports of projects and seminars must be submitted in micro-soft word
and PPT format, with the implementation codes on appendices if applicable.
All projects or seminars must be submitted in soft copy. Please forward them
to me via alemh@mu.edu.et strictly before the deadlines.
All programming assignments must be forwarded to Mr. Mahder Girmay via
mahderian@yahoo.com
