• Exam Regulations, Measurement and Evaluation: Students must attend classes, practices and exams. The limit of attendance requirement is 70% in theoretical courses and 80% in applied courses. Students who cannot meet these conditions cannot take the term exams. Students' attendance is monitored by course administrators. The health reports received by students are not taken into account in the calculation of their attendance period. If students who continue to take a course but fail repeat the course, there is no requirement for re-attendance, except for School Experience and Teaching Practice courses. Exams are measured out of 100 points. Midterm, final and make-up exam results of a course are shown with numerical scores.
• The score for exams that the student does not take is zero. The midterm exam score average is determined by dividing the sum of the scores the student received in the midterm exams by the number of midterm exams taken. In this way, the half number found is increased to a whole number. The raw success score is calculated by adding 40% of the midterm exam score to 60% of the final or make-up exam score. In calculating these ratios, the fractions are preserved as they are, but in determining the raw success score, half-half numbers are rounded up to whole numbers.
• The process of converting raw success scores into success grades is carried out according to the principles of "Erciyes University Relative Grade Conversion Methods", Method 1, determined by the Senate. To be successful in a course, the passing grade must be at least CC. Students whose grades are DC, DD, FD and FF are considered unsuccessful in that course. Graduation Requirements In order to graduate, a student must take courses equal to the minimum required credits required by the program, pass all courses, and have a GPA of at least 2.00. Qualification Conditions and Rules In order to obtain a bachelor's degree in Science Teaching, students must successfully complete all compulsory and elective courses in the program and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 out of 4.00.
