EVALUATION SYSTEM
SEMESTER STUDIES
Total 100 points lab oratu the experimental evaluation will be made as follows:
  • 15% for initial quiz,
  • 40% of the experiment for installation and calculations (including the writing of units),
  • 30% for graphs (including units, naming of axes, etc.),
  • 15% for the final quiz.

             The detailed scoring of 40% and 30% sections is as follows:

  • 40% section:

Experiment: 25 points

Calculations: 7.5 points

Units: 7.5 points

 

  • 30% section:

Graphic drawing: 15 points

Axis names: 5 + 5 = 10 points

Units: 2.5 + 2.5 = 5 points

The contribution of the final exam to the overall average at the end of the semester is 7%, laboratory evaluation is 13%, 80% is the contribution from the midterm and final exam .
