Student success is measured through mid-term and final exams, projects, seminars, quizzes, assignments, practices, laboratories, internships and similar tools. Semester/midterm and semester/end-year studies are each evaluated out of 100 points. Exams are held by the instructor responsible for the course on the exam dates specified in the academic calendar. 

The semester/midterm evaluation weight is determined by the course instructor before the week of course registration and registration in a predefined range: for normal courses 30%-70%, for ongoing studies it is in the range of 0%-100%, in courses given via distant (online) education, the weight of mid-term evaluations is at most 20% and end-of-semester evaluation is at least 80%. It is announced to students via ÖBS before the semester/year courses start. Midterm exams are held during the midterm exam week specified in the academic calendar. Measurement and evaluation of ongoing work is converted into a success grade at the latest at the end of the semester/year-end evaluation period. The grade given to students out of 100 for each educational work they undertake is converted into a letter grade and evaluated as a success grade. A student who receives one of the letter grades (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB) and (CC) from a course is deemed to have succeeded in the relevant course. The student's success or failure in the course(s) for which he received a DC letter grade depends on his semester GPA. If the student's grade point average for the semester in which the student received a DC letter grade is 2.00 or above, he/she is deemed to have succeeded in the course(s).

The measurement and evaluation process used to determine and document that the educational objectives of the program have been achieved is planned to be operated as follows: Employer/manager surveys and graduate student surveys are used to be conducted every year to achieve the educational objectives of the program. The graduate survey is carried out by applying the survey created via Google. The surveys filled out by our department graduates in the last five years are evaluated and interpreted. At the same time, a graduate student meeting is organized every two years, and at this meeting, an Educational Objectives measurement survey is applied to our graduates in the last five years. In general, the target of achieving the Educational Goals has been determined as 60% by the Department Academic Board. In addition, the leadership position was evaluated in a separate question in the graduate survey, and the attainment target was predicted to be 5% for those who graduated in the last five years. The collected data is compared with the targeted Educational Objectives. Relevant results are shared with the Department Academic Board and Advisory Board members.

To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

- YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education and training and other activities in higher education institutions.

- "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

- "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by CoHE. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

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

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.2. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive a bachelor's diploma.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.
