Assessment and Evaluation

In the Industrial Engineering undergraduate program, student achievements are evaluated through mid-term and final exams. Additionally, depending on the nature and requirements of the course, various other assessment methods such as homework, exercises, and project implementation may be employed. Exams can be in the form of traditional or multiple-choice tests. For homework and project evaluations, performance assessment can be conducted through written or oral exams. The grade for a course is determined based on the evaluation of the above elements and is given as a letter grade. The matters related to assessment and evaluation are specified in the Erciyes University Associate and Bachelor's Degree Education-Teaching Regulation: (1) Exams are graded out of 100 points. The results of a course's mid-term and final exams are represented with a numerical score. The score for exams not attended by the student is zero (0). (2) The average score of mid-term exams is calculated by dividing the total points a student has received in mid-terms by the number of mid-terms conducted. Fractions resulting from this calculation are rounded up to the nearest whole number. (3) The raw success score is calculated by adding 40% of the average of the mid-term exam scores to 60% of the final or year-end exam score. Fractions are retained in the calculation of these ratios, but when calculating the raw success score, half numbers are rounded up to the nearest whole number. (4) Raw success grades are determined either by using one of the relative grade conversion methods established by the Senate's principles, chosen by the units, or through absolute grade conversion tables determined by the units. (5) The grading system used at the university and the coefficients for the 4.0 scale. (6) To pass a course, the success grade must be at least CC or higher.
