PROSPECTIVE ERASMUS STUDENTS (bu başlık altında hangi bölümleri
atacağımı bilemedim-siz ayarlarsanız sevinirim)
GENERAL INFORMATION RELATED TO COURSES AND ASSESMENT
The courses for foreign students can be divided into categories. 1) Courses
coordinated by the departments of Health Sciences Institute. These courses which
will be taught in english are marked in the list 2) Courses coordinated by Health
Sciences Institute. This group of courses are mainly interdisiplinary.
Most of the departmental courses are taught in an interactive way in which the
students do participate. Very few courses consist of lectures. The courses
coordinated by Health Sciences Institute are either taught in an interactive way or
scenarios are used for problem based learning. In both methods the students are
asked to study in their free periods and participate within the class.
The students have a mid-term exam and sometimes a project depending on the
course. They also enter a final exam at the end of the semester. The final exams can
include assay type questions as well as multiple choice, fill in the blanks and short
answer type questions. The percent of the mid-term exam, project, class
participation and final exam affecting the final grade is decided by the
coordinator.The total points should be 100 points.
COURSE EXAMINATIONS AND ASSESSMENT
Credit Values of Courses
The credit value of a post-graduate course will be the sum of the total of the weekly
theoretical hours and the half of the weekly practice or laboratory hours of a course
which continues for one semester. Seminars, semester projects, specialization field
and dissertation studies don’t have any credit value. Students must attend
specialization field course of their supervisor starting from second semester of their
PROGRAMMEme.
ASSESSMENT OF SUCCESS IN COURSES
In order to be eligible to enter examinations, the students should have successfully
attended to 70% of the theoretical hours and 80% of the practices. The condition of
success in intermediate examinations may also be sought.
The examinations at the end of semester of post-graduate courses will be assessed
over 100 (one hundred) full points by the lecturer or lecturers who made the
examination. In order to be considered successful in the examinations at the end of
semester, the master’s degree students should score minimum 70 (seventy) points
and the PhD students must score minimum 75 (seventy five) points out of 100
points.
No make-up examinations will be made for post-graduate courses. Students may
repeat the courses that they failed within the maximum course-taking period, or they
may take another lesson with the same credit value instead of the course they failed.
With the resolution of the Governing Board of the Institute and in order to increase
their general average grade, the students may also repeat the courses that they
have been successful before.
After the points are delivered to the Institute and they are considered as final and
they are converted into letter grades considering the following values:

Grades not be included in general average grade
G-In progress
Y-Insufficient
B- Succesful
M-Exempted
The students who are not entitled to enter the examinations for which they have
failed to fulfill the obligation to attend the courses, or to fulfill the conditions
concerning course practices, will be given the grade D (non-attendance). The grade
(D) will be treated as the grade (FF) in the calculation of average grade.
The students who continue thesis studies successfully will be given the grade G
(positive), and the students who can not continue thesis studies successfully will be
given the grade Y (negative). The grade (Y) will also be given to the students who
were unsuccessful in the courses taken without credits, the courses of specialization
field, the field, clinical and laboratory studies and the workshops.
The students who complete their thesis studies with success will be given the grade
(B) (successful). The grade (B) will also be given to the students who were
successful in the courses taken without credits, the courses of specialization field, the
field, clinic and laboratory studies and the workshops.
The grades D, G, and B will not be included in general average grade. In transcripts
prepared in foreign language, these letter grades will be coded as NA, P, U and S
respectively.
The grade E- will also be given to the students who were successful in the course
however cannot complete all conditions of the concerning course. The grade (D) will
be treated as the grade (FF) if the student will not complete all conditions in the
following month.
AVERAGE GRADE
The Institutes will calculate the weighted average grades at the end of each
semester in order to determine the success status of the students at the end of the
semester. The weighted grade that a student earned from a course will be calculated
by multiplying the credit value of that course with the coefficient of the semester
course grade that the student got. In order to calculate any weighted average
semester grade, the sum of the weighted grades that the student got from all
courses in that semester will be divided into the sum of the credit values of the
courses taken. The calculated average will be indicated with two digits after the
comma. The average semester grade will be calculated considering all the courses
that the student took in order to complete the minimum course quota determined in
the regulations, beginning from the acceptance of the student to the post-graduate
PROGRAMMEme. For the courses repeated, the final grade earned will be added to
the average semester grade. All the grades will be recorded on the transcript of the
student. The students who have a general average grade – which is the average of
all semesters – above 3,75 will be considered as successful with superiority.
ACCEPTING THE COURSES TAKEN OUTSIDE THE PROGRAMMEME
The conditions for accepting the courses that a student took in Summer semester, as
a special student or in previous post-graduate Programme, and the conditions for
deducting these courses from the total credits that the student is required to get, will
be considered by the Governing Board of the Institute.
EXPUNGE FROM REGISTER
In following cases, the students will be expunged from the register:
a. The students whose general average grade is below 1.50 at the end of first
semester; or 2.00 at the end of the second semester or any semester
afterwards,
b. The students who take the grade "negative" (Y) for two times consecutively or
for three times with intervals from the course related with master’s degree or
doctorate thesis study or from the course of specialization field,
c. The students who fail to complete the minimum course quota determined by
Institute main branches of science within 4 (four) semesters in master’s
degree programme with thesis, within 6 (six) semesters in master’s degree
programme without thesis,
d. The students whose thesis was refused by the jury,
e. The students whose corrected thesis were not accepted by the jury,
f. The PhD students who could not pass the KPDS or the related foreign
language competency examination within the period specified in these
regulations,
g. The PhD students who failed for the second time in the doctorate competency
examination,
h. The PhD students whose thesis proposal was refused for the second time,
i. The students who could not complete their Programme within the specified
period
j. The students who were given the grade "Negative" (Y) by the Thesis
Monitoring Committee for two times consecutively or for three times with
intervals,
k. The students who, for two times in the same PROGRAMMEme, did not fulfill
the transaction for renewal of enrollment, without a rightful and valid reason
according to the principles to be determined by the Senate.
The students who were expunged from register due to failure can not apply and
enroll to the Programme in the same main branch of science of the same Institute.
THE REGULATIONS FOR THE MASTER AND Ph.D. THESIS
The master student should attend the classes related to his thesis which which are
given by his consultant starting from the beginning of the semestr after his
consultant is determined. His thesis proposal which is accepted by his consultant and
department is finally discussed by the directing committee.
The Ph.D. student presents a thesis proposal which includes the aim of the research
as well as materials and methods orally to the thesis following committee. The
student prepares a report according to Ph.D. thesis proposal form and hands this
report to the members of the committee minimally 15 days before the oral
presentation. The Institute sends the “evalution of thesis proposal form” to the
committee members. This committee either accepts or rejects the thesis proposal
according to the majority of the votes and sends the thesis proposal minutes with the
report prepared by the stutent to the directory of department. The head of the
department sends all three forms to the Insitute during the following 3 days of his
presentation. The directing commitee is informed about this topic and in this way the
topic of the thesis is certified.
The student who completes his thesis should write and discuss his thesis in his
eduction language according to the rules of the Insitute. The jury decides whether to
accept, reject or desire the modification of the thesis. The decision of the jury is
written to the department within 3 days. If the thesis is rejecteted, the relation of the
student ends with the Institute. If the jury wants the modification of the thesis, the
student should modify the thesis according to the recommendations within 3 months
and once again should discuss his thesis. If the thesis is rejected this time, then his
relation with the Institute ends.
