Further Notes About Assessment Methods

OBD consists of theoretical and practical exam. It constitutes 78% of the theoretical and 22% of the application.

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).
The Intra-Year Success Grade Point Average (YBN) must be at least 50 (fifty) points.

HBD assessments are made based on competence. Qualifications are taken for Introduction to the Clinic, Professional Skills, Field Studies, Professional Values and Ethical Practices.
