Further Notes About Assessment Methods

In the first 3 years block-end and year-end assessments are done and the student success was evaluated on a yearly basis as an annual grade out of 100.
DEUMF Rules and Regulations
Article 25
Year-end grade = Block-end exam (80-85%) + Mid-term achievement score (5-10%)+Special Study Modules (10%)
Year-end grade 80 and above = Annual grade 80 and above = exempt from the final exam = Successful
Year-end grade below 80: Year-end grade (50%) + Final exam (50%) = Annual grade 60 and above = Successful
Year-end grade (50%) + Resit exam (50%) = Annual grade 60 and above = Successful

Assessment Criteria

In the first 3 years, the student success was evaluated on a yearly basis as an annual grade out of 100 points. The passing point of the period is determined as 60 (sixty).
Average of block-end exams must be at least 50 (fifty) points.
The success evaluation score for 2. class is calculated based on the rates of the exams mentioned below.
Block-end exam (OBD, 80-85%)
Mid-term achievement score (ABD, 5-10%)
Special Study Modules (OCM, 10%)
