Exams, Assessment and Grading | Students are required to take at least one midterm exam.

The content of the course, requirements (midterm exams, projects, assignments, and final exam), and the contribution of the final grade are specified on the course website. The student regulations and the dates for the semester-end exams are determined by the university, and the final exams are conducted as announced. Students are graded based on their results from the midterm exams, projects, assignments, and the semester-end exams.
At Namık Kemal University, the passing grade is 60 out of 100. However, the semester-end or resit exam grade must be at least 50. Exams are graded on a scale of 100. The final grade for a course is the sum of 30% of the midterm exam score and 70% of the semester-end or resit exam score. However, the calculation of the semester-end exam score may be determined and announced by the Faculty/School Board at the beginning of the semester, with the midterm contributing 30%-50% and the semester-end or resit exam contributing 50%-70%. As long as the semester-end exam score contributes to the total grade on a 100-point scale, students can pass.
In the calculation, if the decimal value is less than five, the grade will be rounded down; if it is more than five, the grade will be rounded up. |
