Further Notes About Assessment Methods

1. Vize examinations is created by writing and drawing methods. II Vize examination comprise the latest learning objectives.
2. LAB = Arithmetic mean of two microscope examinations + homeworks + field report

Assessment Criteria

1. Sedimentary knowledge degree of student is evaluated with two mid-term exams
2. Microscope skill of the student is tested with two microscope exams.
3. Assessments of the drawings, applications and problem solvings.
4. Report of the field working.
5. Remarks on the student interactivity during the course.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules

1. Researching on microscope, applications and fild working are essential.
2. Field workings has been created during weekends.
3.Uncomplited workings during applications and labor are complited as homeworks and given as report.
