Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Theoretical lessons are given according to the weekly program. Home works are given each week. The questions of students are answered at the following week. The exam questions are arranged so that the students who solve the home work problems are successful.

Assessment Criteria

Home works are assigned to the students each week after the weekly lessons. Students strengthen their learning by solving home works. The successes of the students are evaluated by 2 mid-term exams and 1 final exam.
