The pass mark is NOT 50%. The way the class is graded (All of my classes are graded similiarly) is that your final grade at the end of the quarter/semester is determined by how many points you earn over how many possible points could be earned. In all technicality, he wouldn't have "passed" that assignment even if he cheated. But the extra points he wouldve gotten wouldve contributed to an increase in his final grade. To get a final passing grade, its usually about 70%, or a C-.
