1- Assessment and Evaluation Methods
The types of examinations and their contribution to the course achievement grade are determined by the senates of higher education institutions, in accordance with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).
Various methods such as assignments, projects, practical work, midterm examinations, and final examinations may be used for assessment and evaluation. Student performance is evaluated through letter- or grade-based systems.

2- Evaluation of Achievement
a) In evaluating a student’s performance in a course, both the semester work grade (calculated out of 100 points) and the final examination grade (calculated out of 100 points) are taken into consideration.
b) The semester work grade carries a weight of 60%, while the final examination grade carries a weight of 40%.

3- Achievement Grade
(1) The achievement grade is determined as outlined below, using a relative evaluation method.
a) The achievement grades and their corresponding meanings are defined as follows:

Achievement Grade – Coefficient – Description
AA – 4.00 – Excellent
BA – 3.50 – Very Good
BB – 3.00 – Good
CB – 2.50 – Fair
CC – 2.00 – Sufficient
DC – 1.50 – Conditionally Pass
DD – 1.00 – Fail
FD – 0.50 – Fail
FF – 0.00 – Fail
F0 – 0.00 – Fail (Absenteeism)

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, administration, and supervision of education, training, and other activities in higher education institutions.
The University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports, prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published annually. Based on these reports, evaluations containing both quantitative and qualitative assessments of higher education institutions are shared with the public by YÖK.
The Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report, which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation universities, is also published annually by YÖK. These reports, which contain both quantitative and qualitative assessments of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured in accordance with the Regulation on the Procedures and Principles Regarding the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs:

1. Development and Approval of Curricula
   YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

   1.1. The curricula of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions, as well as the intended learning outcomes for students in each program, are determined by the senates of the respective institutions, in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

   1.2. The curricula of National Core Education Programs, once approved by the relevant Deans’ Council, are implemented by higher education institutions upon the approval of YÖK.

2. Assessment and Evaluation
   The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, based on the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

3. Certification
   Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor’s degree diploma upon successful completion of the required course credits and other obligations determined by the higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation
   Within the framework of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions submit their Internal Evaluation Reports for the previous year to the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares with the public the Institutional Feedback Reports it prepares regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions.

   In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation agencies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that programs meet quality assurance requirements. In line with YÖKAK regulations, regular review activities are carried out regarding compliance with established qualifications.
