In the Elementary Mathematics Education undergraduate program; there is a midterm exam and a final exam for each course offered. In addition, teaching and evaluation methods may vary according to the objectives of the undergraduate program and the individual preferences of the faculty members, and quizzes, homework and project evaluations can also be made. For detailed information about the measurement and evaluation method, course information packages should be examined.

The effect of midterm exams, quizzes and assignments on the success grade is 30%; the impact of end-of-year exams is 70%. Absolute evaluation system is applied. In order to be considered successful in the course, the student must score at least 50 points out of 100.

In order to be considered successful in a course, the passing grade must be at least CC. However, students whose overall grade point average (GPA) is CB (2.50) and above are also considered successful with a DD success grade and their success grade is recorded as DB with a coefficient of 1.50. In courses where homework and practice gain importance, the extent to which these studies will affect the midterm exam grade, how the semester or yearly success grade will be determined in laboratory and project courses that are lectures, and the impact rate on the success grade are determined and announced by the relevant faculty or school board. The success grade in courses where unlimited exam rights have been given and in which the right to take the final exam has previously been gained, is determined only by the semester/year final exam grade, regardless of the work and midterm exam results in the previous semester. The results of single course exams and additional exams are accepted and evaluated as success grades.

In order to monitor the quality of higher education programs;

• YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education, training and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.
• "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions, prepared every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published. Reports prepared according to these reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.
• Every year, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Procedures and Principles for Providing Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs ":

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receives a bachelor's degree.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions in the context of continuous monitoring enter the "Institution Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. The "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared by YÖKAK regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions is shared with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. It carries out regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.
