Within the scope of this regulation, the ÇAKÜ FİTBF Geography Department conducts measurement and evaluation activities in accordance with the quality assurance system. In this context, a responsible measurement and evaluation committee has been established and operated since 2023. The duties and functions of this committee have been defined and approved by the department board. This committee carries out a series of activities to ensure valid and reliable measurement and evaluation processes. Accordingly, our planned and implemented measurement and evaluation system is as follows. Firstly, the measurement and evaluation activities for each course, associated with course learning criteria and ECTS credits, are published as part of course information packages accessible to all stakeholders on the ÇAKÜ Bologna Information System and updated twice a year. When determining the measurement and evaluation activities included in these information packages, care is taken to utilize measurement and evaluation methods other than midterm and final exams. For example, Land Surveys I and II emphasize social and environmental issues. In this course, students are exposed to process evaluation activities such as report writing, photography, poster preparation, and exhibition preparation, rather than traditional exams. This issue is monitored and reported by the Departmental Measurement and Evaluation Committee through a survey at the end of each semester. Accordingly, our courses utilize assessment and evaluation tools such as multiple-choice tests, open-ended written exams, project preparation and presentation, report writing, and homework assignments. Efforts and innovations to increase diversity are ongoing. In the practical aspect of assessment and evaluation, validity is verified by creating matrices of exam questions and course learning outcomes for each course. This study is conducted for all courses offered on a semester basis, and at the end of the semester, a file is prepared containing the class course performance status output from the system; evidence of course measurement and evaluation (such as exam question and answer keys, reports, and criteria); the papers of three students with good, average, and low scores; and the exam questions and learning outcomes matrix.

• YÖK is responsible for the planning, regulation, management, and supervision of education and training and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.
• "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions, prepared annually within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published. The reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions prepared according to these reports, are shared with the public by YÖK.
• The "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions, is published annually by YÖK. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.
