The evaluation of students' achievements in courses and other activities is carried out in accordance with the "Ege University Measurement and Evaluation Principles Directive". The relevant directive can be accessed at http://oidb.ege.edu.tr/files/oidb/icerik/olcmedegerlendirme.pdf.

Different methods such as mid-year and end-of-year assignments, projects, applications, mid-term and final exams, make-up exams and make-up exams are used in measurement and evaluation. In order for a student to take the end-of-semester or end-of-year exam of a course;

1. To be enrolled in the relevant course

2. To have fulfilled the attendance requirement,

3. To be successful in the applications and to have completed the projects and assignments, if any.

• Letter grading systems are used in the evaluation of student success.
• In this context, the RAS (Raw Achievement Score) for a course is calculated by taking into account the weighted average of the grades taken from the midterm exam and other semester / year educational activities, if any, and the final or make-up grade, if any.
• The instructor of the relevant course determines the percentage contribution of the student's semester / year activities and final exam grade to the RAS before the enrollment and registration week and announces it to the students within the first week of the semester courses at the latest. However, the contribution percentage of the semester / year activities must be between 40-70%, and the contribution percentage of the final or make-up exam grade, if any, must be between 60-30%.

If the decimal part of the calculated RAS is 0.50 and above, it is rounded to the next higher integer, and if it is less than 0.50, it is rounded to the next lower integer. In the calculation of the Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA), the letter grades of all courses a student has taken since the first semester are multiplied by the ECTS values of these courses separately; the results obtained are summed and divided by the total ECTS credits of all courses taken. The result is given with a precision of two digits after the comma. This result is defined as WGPA
