b) The calculation of the raw success score is given by the total of the 40% of the midterm exam(s) and the 60% of the final exam. The fractions are kept as the same in the calculation of the ratios. However, the fractional numbers are to be rounded up in the calculation of raw success score.
c) Achievement scores are determined by the rules which are set by Senate of the university with the relative evaluation system, by using raw success scores. |
