The measurement and evaluation are carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in the Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulations of Trakya University.
Examinations are conducted in accordance with the Trakya University Undergraduate Education-Training and Examination Regulations. The grades of students are evaluated based on their midterm exams, end-of-term exams, projects, quizzes, assignments, and seminars during the semester. The percentage of these components in the final grade is determined by the course instructor at the beginning of the semester.

Exams Evaluation and Success Grade

ARTICLE 23 - (Amended: RG-12/6/2011-27962) The evaluation of exam results and the final grade are determined as shown below:

a) Exams are evaluated out of 100 points. The final grade of a course is calculated as 30% of the arithmetic average of midterm grades, 20% for distance education programs, and 70% of the final exam grade, or 80% for distance education programs. However, the final grade of a course can be calculated differently, with the arithmetic average of midterm grades contributing between 30% and 70% and the final exam grade contributing between 70% and 30%, provided that a decision is made by the relevant faculty/school council and announced at the beginning of the semester, ensuring the total percentage equals 100%. The final grade is rounded to the nearest integer: if the first decimal is less than 5, it is rounded down; if it is 5 or greater, it is rounded up. (Additional paragraph: RG-21/8/2013-28742) The procedures and principles for the grading of compulsory common courses are determined by the Senate.

b) (Amended: RG-1/9/2019-30875) The final grade is calculated based on the grades determined in paragraph (a), using either the absolute evaluation method or the relative evaluation method, as decided by the Faculty/School Council and approved by the Senate. The application principles for the relative evaluation method are determined by the Senate. In the absolute evaluation method, the grade determined according to paragraph (a) is accepted as the final grade, and the letter grade specified in the table in paragraph (c) is considered the final grade. The letter grades, coefficients, and success status obtained through the relative and absolute evaluation methods are subject to the table and principles in paragraph (c).

c) (Amended: RG-16/6/2016-29744) In both relative and absolute evaluation methods, the coefficients of letter grades are determined according to the following table:

Score (out of 100)                            Letter Grade                 Coefficient
                      90-100                                  AA                           4.00

                       80-89                                   BA                           3.50

                       70-79                                   BB                           3.00

                       65-69                                   CB                           2.50

                       60-64                                   CC                           2.00

                       50-59                                   DD                           1.50

                       30-49                                   FD                           1.00

                         0-29                                   FF                            0.00

The final grade includes the most recent grade from repeated courses. All grades are recorded on the student's transcript.

(Amended paragraph: RG-16/6/2016-29744) To be considered successful in a course, the final grade must be at least CC. However, students with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of CB (2.50) or higher are considered successful with a DD grade, and the final grade is recorded as DB, with a coefficient of 1.50. For courses where assignments and practical work are important, the impact of these works on the midterm grade, and the determination of the midterm or year-round grade for laboratory and project-based courses, are determined and announced by the relevant faculty or school council. For courses with unlimited exam rights and those where students have earned the right to take the final exam in a previous semester, the final grade is determined solely by the final exam grade, without considering the work and midterm results from the previous semester. The results of special exams and additional exams are accepted and evaluated as the final grade.

Additionally, the following letter grades are used on the transcript:

DZ (Discontinued) grade; given for credit-bearing courses where registration was made but the attendance requirement was not fulfilled, and evaluated as an FF grade, contributing to the GPA.

BL (Successful) grade; given to students who pass non-credit-bearing courses that do not affect the GPA.

BZ (Unsuccessful) grade; given to students who fail or are absent from non-credit-bearing courses, and do not affect the GPA. Students who receive FF, FD, DD, DZ, or BZ grades in a course, or who do not take the course in the normal semester, must retake the course in the first semester it is offered. If the course is elective, students may take another elective course instead.

(Amended paragraph: RG-12/6/2011-27962) Students who have received DB and CC grades can repeat a maximum of six such courses to improve their grades, within the four semesters following the semester in which they passed the course, with a maximum of one course per semester. However, courses from the first two semesters cannot be repeated after the fourth semester. In repeated courses, the most recent grade, regardless of the previous grade, is considered the valid grade."

In order to monitor the quality of higher education programs;

• YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education, 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. Reports prepared according to these reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.
