Measurement and Evaluation Techniques Used in the Course	In this course, cooperative learning and active learning methods are applied based on a case study with the 3e model: Assignments will be given according to each measurement and evaluation tool during the semester. In these assignments, students will be enabled to develop and evaluate measurement tools. As a result of these assignments, students taking the course will learn what to pay attention to in classroom evaluations in the form of active learning. At the end of the course, students will be evaluated as a relative evaluation.
