Measurement and evaluation methods, types of exams and their contribution to course success grades are determined by the Senate in accordance with the basic principles determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) on these matters.

Students are subjected to a midterm exam, mid-term work (project, seminar, quiz, homework, or a second midterm exam) and a final exam for each course. All exams are graded out of 100. There is a requirement to get at least 45 points from the final exam. Students who receive one of the letter grades (AA ), ( BA), (BB), (CB) and (CC) in a course are considered to have passed that course.

The mid-term study application method and dates for the courses are announced at the beginning of the semester and included in the course syllabus.

who successfully complete all courses in the program (equivalent to a total of 240 ECTS credits), achieve a weighted grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00 , successfully complete their graduation thesis, and receive a passing grade from their professional internship and internship report are awarded a bachelor's degree in FOREST ENGINEERING.

To monitor the quality of higher education programs;

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

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

The “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report” is published each year by the Council of Higher Education, which includes academic, administrative and financial data on foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by the Council of Higher Education. The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the

“Procedures and Principles for Providing Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:
   1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for opening undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
   2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these matters.
   3. The curriculum of the National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education after being approved by the relevant Deans' Council.

Measurement and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will provide to the student is carried out in accordance with the education, training 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 receive a bachelor's degree if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.
4. Self-Assessment-External Assessment: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the “Internal Institutional

Assessment Reports” of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (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 made by accreditation institutions authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also show that the quality assurance of the program qualifications is provided. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with its legislation.

The accreditation of the Forest Industry Engineering program is carried out by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Education Programs (MÜDEK). In addition, external stakeholder meetings are held every year to receive feedback and evaluate it in the improvement processes.
