Other Info	Class Grade: 91% and above A 85% to 90% B+ 80% to 84% B 75% to 79% C+ 70% to 74% C Below 70 F NOTE: I use Excel to round all grades to whole numbers, so 90.5% is actually an A. (NOT 90.49%!) Final Grade Calculation Homework 25% Class Project 25% Mid Term Exam 25% Final Exam 25% For DL Classes, discussion participation will cause adjustment of final grade by -1 to +2 points. Average participation has no effect. NJIT Honor Code: New Jersey Institute of Technology has an honor code, available on their web site at http://www.njit.edu/academics/honorcode.php. Note that the honor code indicates four levels of severity for offenses. I support the honor code, and attempt to follow it, sometimes at great personal expense. In one case, I had to delay summer employment for three weeks to gather evidence and cooperate with the honor court. MY POLICY: I will always refer serious cases of premeditated cheating to the honor court. Serious cases (level 1 and 2) include bringing notes into an exam that are intended to be disguised. For lesser severity cheating, I will apply the same sanctions that are in the honor code, usually the least severe sanction, getting a zero grade on the exam or assignment. Any time I do this the student may ask to be judged by the honor court instead, and I will grant that request.
