The semester / year-end grade of a course is the sum of 30% of the arithmetic average of the midterm or midterm exams and 70% of the grade taken in the semester / year-end exam or make-up exam. However, the semester / year-end grade of a course; Provided that it is decided by the relevant faculty / school board and announced at the beginning of the semester, it can be calculated between 30% and 50% of the arithmetic average of the midterm or midterm exams, between 70% and 50% of the grade taken in the semester / year-end or make-up exam, and the sum of the ratios can be calculated as 100%. As a result of the calculation, if the first number after the decimal point is less than five, it is increased to the lower integer, and if it is five or more than five, it is increased to the upper integer and finalized. In order to be successful in a course, the semester / year-end grade must be at least 60 out of 100.
