Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

Exam of the courses; It can be done in written, written-oral or applied form. Exam documents and results are forwarded to the relevant institute within five working days via the department head. The principles regarding the determination of course success are as follows: a) In order to take the exam from the courses taken in graduate programs; 70% attendance is required for theoretical courses and 80% for applied courses. Exams are evaluated with points given out of 100. To be successful, it is necessary to get at least 70 points out of 100 in master´s programs with thesis. Letter grade and coefficient equivalents of the points out of 100 are as follows: Letter Grade Coefficient Score AA 4.00 90-100 BA 3.50 85-89 BB 3.00 80-84 CB 2.50 75-79 CC 2.00 70-74 F 0-69 b) Within the framework of the above principles In evaluating the scores out of 100 with letter grades; Students who get AA, BA, BB, CB and CC grades in master´s programs are considered successful in that course. c) In addition to the letter grades above, the following letters can also be used: 1) Note D (Absent); It is given to students who do not fulfill the conditions and requirements of course attendance and / or course practices. The grade average of D is transferred to the calculation of the FF grade. 2) Grade G (Pass); It is given to students who successfully complete non-credit courses and thesis studies. 3) Grade K (Remaining); It is given to students who fail in their thesis with non-credit courses. d) Students who fail the exams of compulsory and elective courses, fail in absenteeism or fulfill the prerequisites of the relevant course, take the relevant course / courses in the first semester they are opened. In case of failure in the elective course, the student can choose a new course instead. d) The exam results, exam documents and protocol of the courses in the graduate programs are sent to the relevant institute through the heads of the department within five working days following the completion of the exams. e) The adjustment of the grades of the courses taken by students who benefit from national or international exchange programs such as Erasmus and Farabi is made by the decision of the head of the department and the decision of the board of directors of the institute. These grades are recorded on the transcript of the student. Course success average (1) At the end of each semester, the success of the student is determined by the semester academic grade average (YANO) and the general academic grade average (GANO) calculated on the coefficients given in the table in article 21 of this Regulation. YANO is the weighted grade point average of the semester the student is enrolled. GANO is the weighted grade average calculated at the end of the semester by considering all the courses in the curriculum of the department in which the student is enrolled, starting from the beginning of the graduate program. (2) Calculated with YANO and GANO weighted grade averages. The weighted grade point average is calculated by dividing the total credits obtained by multiplying the credits of the courses taken and the equivalent weight coefficients of the letter grades taken from the courses, by the total credits. The weighted grade average is calculated as two digits after the comma. (3) Both YANO and GANO are determined by the participation of the grades (AA) to (FF) taken by the student in the credit courses. (4) All grades received by the student are recorded in the grade book.

Graduation Requirements

Master´s program with thesis; It consists of at least eight courses, not less than 120 ECTS credits, a seminar course at the course stage, the Master´s Specialization Course to be taken each semester, the Thesis Advisory Course and the thesis study, and the publication conditions specified in the Annex 1 of the BUU Graduate Education and Training Regulations
