Grading Policy

Assignments: 5%
Projects: 15%
Midterm: 30%
Final exam: 50%

  • Late assignments and projects will receive 20% penalty. No assignment or project is accepted one week after it due date.

  • You must obtain at least a C average on the exams to obtain a C or above in the course. Failing grades on the in-class exams will mean a failing grade in the course, regardless of the assignments and projects.

  • Policy on I's : If you have taken the the midterm with a C average or better and done your homework and projects and you have a written medical excuse for not taking the final exam, you may be eligible for an I. In this case, you must write a contract with the instructor spelling out how the incomplete will be resolved. After a year, an incomplete becomes an F.

  • Academic Honesty: Northeastern University is committed to the principles of intellectual honesty and integrity. All members of the Northeastern Community are expected to maintain complete honesty in all academic work, presenting only that which is their own work in tests and assignments. If you have any questions regarding the proper attribution of the work of others, contact your instructor prior to submitting the work for evaluation.
