The measurement and evaluation methods, types of exams and the effect of these exams on the course success grade are decided by the senates of higher education institutions according to the basic principles determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). Various methods such as homework, project, practice, midterm and final exam are used in the evaluation processes. The success of the students is measured with letter or grade-based systems. One midterm exam and one final exam are given for each course in each semester. Apart from midterm exams, short-term exams can be held without prior appointment. The criteria used in the evaluation of the success of the courses (midterm exams, final exam, homework etc.) and the ratios of these criteria are specified in the published curriculum programs. The final course grade to be given to a student is given by the course instructor, taking into consideration the results of the midterm and final exams, the semester studies and course attendance. Courses that do not require a midterm exam and/or final exam are determined by the relevant department and reported to the Student Affairs Directorate. The final course success grades are submitted to the Student Affairs Directorate by the course instructor. Grades For each course taken during the semester, students are given one of the letter grades defined below as their final course grade by the course instructor.

The coefficients of letter grades and their equivalents out of 100 (one hundred) points are as follows:

Score Course Grade Coefficient

90-100 AA 4.00

85-89 BA 3.50

80-84 BB 3.00

70-79 CB 2.50

60-69 CC 2.00

55-59 DC 1.50

50-54 DD 1.00

40-49 FD 0.50

<40FF 0.00

Absent NA 0.00

The letter grades of other courses that are not included in the grade point average and do not have local credit are as follows:

a) I (Incomplete) grade is given by the instructor to students who were successful during the semester but could not meet the required course requirements or take the final exam due to illness or another valid reason. The student must complete the deficiencies within fifteen days from the date of the announcement of this grade and receive a grade. Otherwise, the I grade automatically turns into an FF grade. However, in cases of prolonged illness or similar situations, this period may be extended until the beginning of the next registration period with the recommendation of the department head and the approval of the relevant board of directors.

b) S (Sufficient) grade is given to students who are successful in non-credit courses in the curriculum and is not included in the average calculations.

c) U (Insufficient) grade is given to students who are unsuccessful in non-credit courses in the curriculum and courses taken within the framework of the student exchange program and is not included in the average calculations.

ç) P (Continuing) grade is given at the end of the first semester in credit or non-credit courses that last more than one semester. The P grade is not included in the average calculations.

d) The M (Exempt) grade is given to students who have successfully completed courses taken from higher education institutions they have previously attended and whose equivalence is accepted by the relevant board of directors, and to those who have successfully completed courses determined by the Senate as a result of the exemption exam administered by the relevant department, and is not included in the average.

e) The NA (Non-Attendance) grade is given to students who have failed due to failure to fulfill their obligations regarding attendance or course practices. This grade is treated as FF for credit courses and U for non-credit courses in average calculations.

f) (Amended: RG-9/5/2020-31122) A student who receives a grade of S, M, DD or higher from a course is considered successful.

g) A student who receives a grade of FD, FF, U or NA from a course is considered unsuccessful and must repeat the course.

h) The credit equivalence of courses taken in student exchange programs and the adjustment of grades are made by the relevant unit’s board of directors. In this adjustment, ECTS is used in exchanges related to abroad.

i) If deemed appropriate, the instructor may evaluate homework, laboratory and similar studies as midterm exams. While students are given a success grade at the end of each semester, their midterm and final exam results, semester work and course attendance are taken into consideration. The weight of the final/make-up grade in determining the success grade cannot be more than 60% and not less than 40%. The amount of this rate will be determined by the relevant board decision. The relevant instructor is authorized to distribute the remaining portion of the final/make-up grade weight to midterm exams, continuation exams, assignments and the like. At the beginning of the semester, the instructor announces the evaluation criteria to the students and informs the relevant authorities.

The Measurement and Evaluation Process of Program Outcomes

In the course syllabuses of each course, the competencies that the student must gain within the scope of the course at the end of the course are monitored in the learning outcomes section. The weighted relationship between the learning outcomes and program outcomes of each course is also included in the course syllabus. Accordingly, course files regarding the courses given periodically are requested from the department faculty members. Course files are stored as backups in the computer environment. The measurement and evaluation of the program outputs, which have been adopted in the department and are completely the same as the MÜDEK program outputs, are first divided into sub-components of the program outputs and carried out separately for each of them on a course basis. The effect of each subcomponent in a course is determined as a percentage. Based on the percentage and provision level of these sub-components, the level of periodic provision of any program output throughout the department is obtained. The measurement and evaluation methods and processes used in our department to periodically determine and document the level of provision of program outcomes and are thought to complement each other are as follows:

1. Periodically; Before final exams, graduation project final presentation, Multidisciplinary Integrated Project Final Presentation and COOP final presentations are made; a survey is prepared in virtual survey environment by the department head according to the sub-component program outputs of all courses and shared with the faculty members. Faculty members share the course- based surveys on this virtual survey platform with the students on the virtual classroom platform of the courses. The results of the surveys are taken from the interactive environment and evaluated with survey files using Microsoft Excel software. The system in Excel evaluates the level of provision of program outputs according to the answers given by the students on a 5-point and 100-point scoring system. Measurements with 50 points and above are considered sufficient. Thus, the access level of program outputs according to the surveys is measured periodically and is given annually in the SAC report in question.

2. Periodically; After the final exams, graduation project final presentation, Multidisciplinary Integrated Project Final Presentation and COOP final presentations are completed, question-based course evaluations are made using

Microsoft Excel software for the compulsory courses according to the evaluation criteria. The system in Excel gives the program output results based on questions out of 100 points. The system in the relevant Excel gives both the evaluation criteria (midterm, final, homework, laboratory, etc.) separately and as a combination. Measurements with a score of 50 and above are considered sufficient. FF-FD, NA grades are not taken into consideration.

3. Periodically; After the final exams, graduation project final presentation, Multi- Disciplinary Integrated Project Final Presentation and COOP final presentations are completed, an evaluation is made based on the ratio of students who passed the course to all students who took the course according to the letter grade results given by the OBS system according to the evaluation criteria. The success of the relevant program output of the course in question is measured based on the percentage of students who took the course. If at least fifty percent of the students who took the course pass, it is accepted that the measured program output for the relevant course is achieved (sufficient). According to the letter scales given above, students who receive grades of DD and above are considered successful. The levels of achievement of 50 percent and above are considered sufficient.
