It will be expected that some of the mid-term projects and the final project will be prepared by both working groups and individually.
For final Project evaluations, it s mandatory to make the final submission within the given official date and present the project in jury date. Students who do not present their projects to the jury (even if they have submitted their projects) will not be evaluated. In determining the final project grade, group work and individual work will be weighted at different rates to determine the final project grade for each student.

Assessment Criteria

Repetition, definition, and illustration are measured by interim evaluations. Repetition, definition, illustration, analysis and alternative solution suggestions are evaluated by the final jury.

Language of Instruction
