The instructor announces the weekly course content, the course book and how students will be evaluated and the dates of the exams to the students and the Institute at the beginning of the semester. The instructor evaluates the students depending on their midterm and final grades, attendance, their additional work such as projects, presentations and assignments.

A make up exam is offered for graduate classes. Upon the approval of the Institute Board, students can take the exam from the lessons that they have already passed in order to increase their GPA.
