 QUIZZES (Closed book & Notes)
A 30 point quiz will be given every week. There will be no make-up quizzes. A missed quiz will be graded as a zero. The passing grade for each quiz will be 21 points. A student who fails and/or does not take four quizzes will fail the course.

Analytical Software: Watercad and HEC-RAS will be utilized for assigned problems.

HOMEWORK
A supplementary homework problem (s) will be distributed each week and collected
at the following class.  A poor submittal will result in a point deduction of up to 50
points (off of your final point total) per problem. The problems listed above for each
chapter will be reviewed in class and not collected.  All submitted problems must be
done on standard computation paper in pencil and be presented in an organized
neat manner.

GRADING

    Quizzes * 30-points each
     Final Exam * 200 points

The final grade will be based upon the following percentages utilizing the total net points (after any HW grade deduction) achieved by the student. 

    A = 90 to 100%
    B+ = 87 to 89%
    B = 80 to 86%
    C+ = 77 to 79%
    C = 72 to 76%
    D = 70 to 71%
    F = below 70%

* Closed book & Notes

*The NJIT Honor Code will be upheld, and any violations will be brought to the immediate attention of the Dean of Students.
*Students will be consulted with by the instructor and must agree to any modifications or deviations from the syllabus throughout the course of the semester.
