How does grading system work?
In the Preparatory Year Program, an integrated assessment system has been designed to ensure that students acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies. This system includes the analysis of exam results, student feedback, and instructor feedback. In this context, students’ knowledge and skills are evaluated through exam results, in-class activities, and student presentations.
