Assessment Criteria

Since this is an active learning system based lecture, the grades will be evaluated with 40% midterm+60% final exam. Class participation is an important criterion for evaluating the student's achievements.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules

Attendance to at least 70% for the lectures is an essential requirement of this course and is the responsibility of the student. It is necessary that attendance to the lecture and Quiz-final exam dates-times must be followed. Any unethical behavior that occurs either in presentations or in exams will be dealt with as outlined in school policy. You can find the undergraduate policy at http://web.deu.edu.tr/fen
