Assessment Criteria

The student is expected to enter one mid-exam and one closing examination (the `final exam ) from each lecture. In case of failure to achieve the required minimum grade, the student is offered the chance to enter one further exam, named as the `make-up exam'.
The passing grade is sixty out-of one-hundred. In other words, a student is expected to achieve a minimum average mark of sixty.
For the calculation of passing grade, the note of mid-term exam is taken. With the help of this note, the contribution points, which are previously determined by the faculty management, are calculated. Then students take a final examination. To pass a course, student must achieve a total score of 60. This total score is the sum of final exam s grade and the contribution points from the midterm exam. But to pass a course, student must become at least 50 points from the final exam. These rules are applied for the make-up exams too.
If the note of a student from a lecture at the end of the mid-term exam attains 80 (out of a full one-hundred) he/she is exempted from the final examination for that lecture. The student is deemed to have passed that course.
Contribution points mentioned below are added to exemption note, if there is not exemption from final examination, added to final or make-up examination note and this final note is regarded as achievement note.

24-20 -5

The number determined by contribution point can not exceed one hundred. Minus ''-'' contribution points are scaled down from final or make-up examination note.
The examinations are written exams in general. But professors can independently choose the style of examinations. The number of questions varies from lecture to lecture and according to being a mid-term exam or the final exam.
