At least one midterm exam is conducted each semester. In addition to the midterm, projects and assignments with specified deadlines are given at the beginning of each semester as outlined in the semester content. At the end of each semester, students are required to take the final exam. According to the student regulations and academic calendar, final exams are conducted on dates, at locations, and times determined and announced by the university.
The semester-end grade is calculated by the course instructor based on the results of the midterm, projects, assignments, and final exam.
At Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, the passing grade is 60 out of 100. However, a minimum of 50 is required on the final or make-up exam. Exams are evaluated on a scale of 100 points. The semester/year-end grade for a course is calculated by taking 30% of the arithmetic average of the midterm(s) and 70% of the score obtained on the semester/year-end or make-up exam. However, this ratio can vary between 30% and 50% for the midterm(s) and between 70% and 50% for the semester/year-end or make-up exam, provided that the sum of these percentages equals 100%. This adjustment must be decided by the relevant faculty/school board, announced at the beginning of the semester, and specified in the course syllabus.
The resulting score is finalized by rounding to the nearest whole number: if the first decimal place is less than five, it is rounded down; if five or greater, it is rounded up.
For the Graphic Design Program at Saray Vocational School, the semester-end exam weight has been determined as 60% by the School Board Decision.
The final and make-up grades are submitted to the Student Affairs Office by the course instructor along with the evaluation criteria. These grades are then published in the student information system and officially announced.
