About Programme
Undergraduate education in the Department of Chemistry Education is a total of 4 years. During this period, courses related to subject matter knowledge, general culture and teaching formation are given. In addition to theoretical courses, laboratory studies also take up a large place in the department. Technological developments are closely followed and used in courses.

The courses in the department of science are carried out on a semester basis. In addition to the compulsory courses, there are also elective courses aimed at the student's interest and ability.

Students who successfully complete the program and graduate are highly likely to find a job as a teacher in public or private schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education.

On the other hand, students who want to do academic work have the opportunity to do their master's and doctoral degrees in their own branches. In addition, students who graduate from the faculty can work as academic staff at various universities.

Assessment and Grading
Measurement and Evaluation
(1) For each course taken, students are given a letter success grade at the end of the semester/year.
(2) This grade is given by the instructor of the course.
(3) While evaluating the letter grade, a student?s success at classes, mid-terms/final examinations and attendance to classes are considered. The calculation of the letter grade is determined by the approval of the related academic unit and the Senate.
(4) The success grade of a student is calculated over 100 points. This grade is called raw success point.
(5) A student whose raw success point is under 25.00 is directly given an FF grade and the student fails the course. The success grade of a student whose raw success point is 25.00 and above is evaluated by using the methods determined by the board decisions of the Educational Commission of the University and the Senate; with the letter grades of which coefficients and explanations are mentioned below. After this evaluation, it is also possible that the raw success points 25.00 and above may become FF letter grades.
(6) Coefficients and letter success grades are evaluated as shown below:
a)
Coefficients Letter Success Grades
4.00 AA
3.50 BA
3.00 BB
2.50 CB
2.00 CC
1.50 DC
1.00 DD
0.50 FD
0.00 FF

b) The letter grades other than the ones in the clause ?a? are:
1) D: Did not Attend the Course
2) G: Did not Attend the Exam
3) E: Incomplete (The E grades which are not corrected until after 3 weeks from the finalization of letter success grades are converted to FF)
4) VZ: Withdrawn
(7) A student whose letter success grade is (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), (CC), (DC) or (DD) is considered as succeeded the course. However, the CumGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of the student must be at least 2,00 for graduation.
