All Students should be aware
that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor code very seriously and
enforces it strictly. This means there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e.,
copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in
quizzes and exams. Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such
activities to the Instructor.
Class
Policies:
Attendance and
Participation: Students must attend all classes.
Absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions
and problem solving sessions and, therefore, affect your grade. Tardiness to class is very
disruptive to the instructor and students.
Makeup Exam Policy:
There will be no makeup exams,
except in rare situations.
Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
