Explanations
There will be an interim evaluation and a final evaluation during the semester.
1. Intermediate submission and pre-final studies will be followed at regular intervals.
2. Interim evaluation will be made in the period corresponding to the visa week. This period
will be announced by the relevant Institute. An interim meeting before the final submission
will include the evaluation process.
3. Final submission date and time will be announced by the relevant Institute.
Rules
1. Attendance: According to the regulation, a student attends 80% of the total course hours.
If he does not, he will be absent from the course (DZ) and be unsuccessful.
2. Arrive Late: Not only coming to class, but also attending class on time.
