Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Midterm score calculated as arithmetic average points obtained from experiments is essential in the achievements of students for the course.

Assessment Criteria

1. The average of grades getting from the laboratory experiments will be evaluated as Homework.
2. Homework, Midterm Exam and Final Exam will be added according to the grading percentage and thereby the students success will be determined as such.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules

1. Lessons are conducted live remotelyand attendance is not required since the video of the lesson is recorded in the system.
2. Every trial to copying will be penetrated as disciplinary proceedings.
3. If deemed necessary, students’ presentations will be included to the evaluation process.
