Assessment and Grading
Students are subject to a final examination in addition to the midterm exams or assignments they have previously completed. Each semester, at least one midterm exam is administered. In addition to midterm exams, unannounced short quizzes may also be given. The assessment criteria for each course (such as midterm exams, assignments, final exams, etc.) and their respective weightings are specified in the course syllabi distributed to students or published on the university website at the beginning of the semester. Theoretical examinations are conducted in accordance with the course content and may include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, matching, and open-ended questions. Practical courses, on the other hand, are evaluated through application-based examinations.
