Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Evaluation of the course is done considering midterm exam grades, student performances during project controls, active participation to the lecture and project, and final exam grade.

Assessment Criteria

Midterm exam grades, contribution to the project, and final exam grade is considered.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules

In mid-term projects, project groups are consisting of 2-3 persons and their calculations and drawings must be checked by the project advisors. Each student must provide individual contribution to the groups. Students will prepare the final project report including required calculations, drawings, catalogs, etc. considering basic principles and data given at the beginning of the lecture.
