| RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING |
|
The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. |

| EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS |
|
| The relative grading system is used in courses with more than 10 students and the absolute grading system is used in courses with less than 10 students. The relative grading system measures the student's success based on the student's level of performance compared to the other students in the class. Irrespective of the semester grades, students must obtain at least 45 out of 100 points in the final examination in order to pass a course. The final grade is calculated on the basis of the semester grades and the final exam. Accordingly, mid-term work (mid-term exam, quiz, project, presentation, homework, etc.) is counted as 50% and the final exam as 50%. All examinations are marked out of 100. Students who receive a grade of (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB) and (CC) in a course are considered to have passed that course. Students who receive a grade of (DC) have the right to a conditional pass, which requires an academic average of at least 2.00 for the semester. At the end of each semester, students may retake the examination for all failed courses of that semester. The (G) letter grade is awarded to students who successfully complete the Professional Experience I and Professional Experience II courses. The (G) grade is not included in the average calculation. (K) Letter grade is given to students who fail Professional Experience I and Professional Experience II courses. (K) grade is not included in the calculation of averages. |
