Recognition of Education Abroad

The academic semesters and courses of returning students who study as exchange students for one or two semesters at universities abroad with which we have an agreement are recognized by DU.

Students selected to benefit from Student Learning Mobility within the scope of the ERASMUS program are obliged to prepare a learning agreement with their ERASMUS Unit Coordinators before the start of their mobility period. This learning agreement shows the courses and ECTS values that the student will take at the partner university where the student will study.

In addition, students are required to prepare a Recognition Sheet. In this document, the equivalents of the courses that students will take abroad are shown and the credit transfer to be made is determined.

At the end of the exchange period, the courses taken abroad are shown on the transcripts with their original codes and names, ECTS credits and grades. In the official transcripts of the students, the abbreviation “ET”, which stands for “courses taken at universities abroad within the scope of the ERASMUS Program and cooperation agreements”, appears next to these courses.

The program offers a master's degree in curriculum and instruction.

EXAMS, ASSESSMENT AND GRADING

Exam:
Our university conducts mid-term, end-of-term, make-up, make-up, level determination and single-course exams.

Evaluation:
Student success is determined by evaluating the mid-term exams, homework, practice, laboratory and similar studies conducted during the semester, and the results of the end-of-term and make-up exams.

The total weight of the mid-term evaluations (mid-term exam, quiz, homework and practice) of a course is determined by the instructor giving the course within the first two weeks of the semester, not less than 30% and not more than 60%.
Grading:
For each course taken by the students, one of the following letter grades is assigned by the instructor as the end-of-term course grade. The coefficients of the letter grades and their equivalents out of 100 points are shown below.

The letter grades to be given to students by the instructor at the end of the semester for each course they take are as follows:
Achievement Degree Achievement Degree
Master's Degree Doctorate and Arts
Achievement Score Letter Grade Coefficient Programs Proficiency Programs
90-100 AA 4.00 Very Good Very Good
85-89 BA 3.50 Good Good
80-84 BB 3.25 Average Passing
70-79 CB 3.00 Passing Not Passing
60-69 CC 2.50 Not Passing Not Passing

55-59 DC 2.25 Not Passing Not Passing
50-54 DD 2.00 Not Passing Not Passing
40-49 FD 1.50 Not Passing Not Passing
39 and below FF 0.00 Not Passing Not Passing

The grades that are not included in the average and their definitions are as follows:
a) EKS: Incomplete grade is a grade that is given to students who are successful during the semester but who do not have a medical or It is given by the instructor to students who cannot complete the necessary conditions for the course due to another valid reason. If the student receives an (EKS) grade from any course, he/she must complete the deficiencies and receive a grade within fifteen days from the date of submission of the grades to the relevant institute. Otherwise, the (EKS) grade automatically becomes an (FF) grade. This period may be extended until the beginning of the next registration period in case of a prolonged illness or similar cases, upon the student's application, the recommendation of EABDB/EASDB and the decision of the EYK.

b) YT: The Sufficient (YT) grade is given in case of success in courses that are not included in the general grade average, such as specialization courses, seminars and thesis studies.

c) YZ: The Insufficient (YZ) grade is given to students who cannot successfully continue courses that are not included in the general grade average, such as specialization courses, seminars and thesis studies.

ç) S: The In-Progress (S) grade is given to students who are successfully continuing their thesis studies.
d) NK: The (NK) grade, which is not included in the grade point average, is given to describe the courses taken by the student on the condition that they are not included in the grade point average of the program or programs in which the student is registered. Courses with this status cannot be used in course counting transactions related to the program or programs in which the student is registered.

e) DVZ: The failing grade (DVZ) due to absenteeism is given by the faculty member to students who do not fulfill their attendance obligations or who fail because they cannot fulfill the conditions related to course practices. The (DVZ) grade is treated as (FF) in the calculation of grade point averages.

(7) The end-of-semester course grades are finalized as soon as they are submitted to the relevant institute and announced by the institute.

(8) In the event of any objection to the end-of-semester course grades announced by the institute;

the correction process is decided by the relevant EABDB/EASDB upon the application of the faculty member, for correction processes not exceeding 15 days from the announcement date, and for correction processes exceeding 15 days from the announcement date, by the EYK.
(9) The success of students is determined by calculating the weighted semester grade point averages at the end of each semester.

The weighted semester average is calculated by dividing the number obtained by multiplying the coefficients corresponding to the letter grades of the courses taken during the semester with the credit values ​​of the courses by the total credits. The credits of the courses with DVZ grades are also added to the total credits. This average is shown as two digits after the comma. The weighted general grade point average is calculated by taking into account the courses that the student has taken since his/her acceptance to the graduate program and that correspond to the total credit load of the course load valid in this graduate program. The last grade received from the repeated courses is included in the general grade point average. All grades are transferred to the student's transcript. Grades from courses taken in the scientific preparation program are not included in the graduate grade point averages.

(10) It is mandatory to give at least one course covering scientific research techniques and research and publication ethics during the graduate education. (11) The student's advisor, together with the student, decides which of the courses approved by the EK will be included in the student's course program. The advisory duty is carried out by the EABD/EASD president until the thesis advisor is appointed.
