Assessment and Evaluation Methods
In the Department of Political Science and Public Administration (SBKY), students’ academic performance is assessed through various tools such as examinations, assignments, presentations, and project work. At the beginning of each semester, the course instructor specifies and announces through the system the assessment methods to be used and their relative weightings in evaluating student performance.
For each course, the assessment components for which students are responsible—such as midterm examinations, quizzes, assignments, projects, presentations, and final examinations—as well as their contribution to the overall grade, are clearly defined. Examination schedules for all assessments to be conducted during the semester are initially prepared as drafts and then finalized based on feedback received from students and instructors. Following approval by the Faculty Administrative Board, the finalized schedules are officially announced to all stakeholders.
A student’s final grade is calculated by applying the predefined weightings to the scores obtained from the specified assessment tools. At the end of the semester, students’ numerical scores out of 100 are converted into letter grades by taking into account the overall success level of the class, and their corresponding values in the four-point grading system are calculated.
Assessment and evaluation practices are conducted in accordance with the principles set forth in the Afyon Kocatepe University Associate and Undergraduate Education, Instruction, and Examination Regulations. The numerical values of grades representing student achievement, their corresponding letter grades, and special conditions related to academic success are defined within the framework of this regulation. The relevant regulation is available at:
https://kms.kaysis.gov.tr/Home/Goster/40519
Students of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration take midterm and final examinations in both theoretical and practical courses in accordance with the examination and assessment principles of the Afyon Kocatepe University Associate and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulations. Examinations are conducted under proctor supervision in classrooms appropriate to the number of students and in accordance with rules announced on bulletin boards, the university website, and digital screens located on each floor.
In addition to midterm and final examinations, assignments, attendance, and overall course performance are also taken into consideration in the evaluation of courses. Students have the right to submit a formal written appeal against announced examination results within five working days following the date of announcement.
