| RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING |
|
In order to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting and adjustment of the acquisitions acquired by the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University outside a higher education institution, the Senate Decision dated 28.07.2023 and numbered 340 ?Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning? was adopted and entered into force.
Directive;
* Recognition of knowledge, skills and competencies gained through special interest through exemption exams to be counted instead of program courses,
* Recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be counted instead of program courses,
* It includes the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions in line with their special interests.
The announcement of the courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, the receipt and evaluation of applications are made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of Prior Learning will offer many benefits to our students and employers. For our students; increasing professional development and mobility in the labor market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, increasing student motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the perspective of employers, it will contribute to the elimination of skill or qualification deficiencies in the workplace, reduce the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus contribute to more efficient use of resources. |

| QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS |
|
| In order for students enrolled in the Digital Transformation Electronics Program to graduate and receive an associate degree, they must successfully complete a total of 120 ECTS courses in the curriculum and successfully complete 40 working days of vocational internships. |
|
| EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS |
|
| In the evaluation of achievement grades, the relative evaluation system is applied in courses where the number of students exceeds 10 and the absolute evaluation system is applied in courses where the number of students is below 10. The relative evaluation system measures the success of the student depending on the level of performance of the student compared to the other students in the class. Regardless of the semester grades, students must get at least 45 out of 100 in the final exam in order to pass a course. Success grade is calculated on the basis of the grades obtained from the semester evaluation grade and the final exam. Accordingly, midterm work (midterm, quiz, project, presentation, homework, etc.) is taken as 50% and final exam is taken as 50%. All exams are evaluated out of 100 points. Students who receive one of the letter grades (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB) and (CC) from a course are considered to have passed that course. Students who receive a grade of (DC) have the right to pass conditionally and this condition requires the academic average of the relevant semester to be at least 2.00. At the end of each semester, students can take the make-up exam for all failed courses of the relevant semester. (G) letter grade is given to students who are successful in Professional Experience I and Professional Experience II courses. (G) grade is not included in the average calculations. (K) letter grade is given to students who fail in Professional Experience I and Professional Experience II courses. (K) grade is not included in the average calculations. |
