Exams, Assessment and Grading

 There is minimum one mid-term exam every semestr. In addition, there are also projects and homeworks assigned to students for decided submitting dates at the beginning of every semestr. The students have to enter the final exam at the end of every semestr. The criteria (mid-term exam, projects, homeworks and final exam) and the ratio of their effects on semestr end mark are clearly informed by course contents distributed at the beginning of the semestr and/or on web page. The final exams are held on dates, places and times decided and informed according to student regulations and academic calender of the university. The semestr end mark is graded by course responsible considering the mid-term exam, project, homeworks and final exam results.

The pass mark is 60 out of 100 in Namık Kemal University. But, the final exam grade or make-up exam grade have to be minimum 50. The exams are evaluated over 100 full mark. One lessons’s semestr/one year mark is the total of  %30 of arithmetic mean of mid-term or mid-terms and %70 of the final exam or make-up exam. Yet, one lesson’s semestr/end of year mark can also be calculated as the total of %30 to %50 of arithmetic mean of mid-term exam or mid-term exams and %50 to %70 of final exam or make-up exam to make total %100, upon condition of decisions taken by the board of faculty/vocational school and declared at the beginning of the semestr. As a result of the calculation, if the first number after decimal point is less than five, the previous whole number, if it is five or more than five, the next whole number is considered. Details can be found in the following web page. http://oidb.nku.edu.tr/yonetmelik/2011eos.pdf

The semestr end mark or make-up exam mark with evaluation criteria is handed in Office of Student Affairs by course responsible. Semestr end marks and make-up exam marks are announced on student information system.
