secularity, peace and love; in short the principles protecting human honour,
which are the common values of humanity and on which reason and historical
experiences are based. They have been able to protect these values which
they hold dearer than themselves and which are shared by the Turkish
Republic inherited from the great Atatürk.

At the Faculty, a full-year education system is implemented, so the academic
year is not officially divided into semesters. However, if a student decides
to study at our Faculty for only one semester, if there exists a decision in
this respect passed by the Faculty Board, he/she may be allowed to take the
lectures regarding the related course belonging to that period of time only.
As for the elective courses, they are only lectured for one semester, that
semester being the second (spring) semester, which spans approximately from
February to June.
The regular student attending our faculty is expected to enter two mid-exams
and one closing examination (the ‘final exam’). In case of failure to
achieve the required minimum grade, the student is offered the chance to
enter one further exam, named as the ‘make-up exam’.
The passing grade is sixty out-of one-hundred. In other words, a student is
expected to achieve a minimum average mark of sixty. This overall average
grade is obtained by combining all grades and marks obtained throughout the
year. In calculating the average, %20 of the first mid-exam, %30 of the
second mid-exam and %50 of the final exam results are combined.
However, whatever the overall average, a student must have obtained at least
50 (out of a full one-hundred) from the final or make-up exam in order to
pass.
If the average mark of a student at the end of the two mid-term exams
attains 80 (out of a full one-hundred) he/she is exempted from the final
examination. The student is deemed to have passed the class.
As for the methodology of the exam, it generally consists of a
multiple-choice exam. The number of questions varies from year to year and
according to being a mid-term exam or the final exam.
The
exams regarding each lecture will be held independently.
HOWEVER, ERASMUS STUDENTS MAY BE EXAMINED IN A DIFFERENT METHOD. With regard
to incoming Erasmus students, the lecturer of each course may decide to hold
a separate exam. The modality of the exam will also depend on the decision
of the lecturer.
If
a student willing to study at our Faculty for only one semester has been
allowed to do so by virtue of a decision in this respect passed by the
Faculty Board, the exam system he/she will be subject to, will depend on the
content of that decision. However, in such case, it is most probable that
the student will be allowed to select whatever subjects he/she wants,
regardless of which year they are lectured in (provided they attain a
minimum of 20 ECTS and do not exceed the allowed maximum of 30 ETCS). In
this case, the student will enter separate exams for each subject. The
modality of the exam shall depend on the discretion of the Faculty Board,
based on the preference of the lecturer. However, the passing grade will
still be 60/100, provided that the final exam result does not fall below
50/100.
THE MAIN PRINCIPLES OF THE CURRICULUM AND THE EXAMINATIONS
The academic calendar is determined by the Senate of the University
according to the proposal of the Faculty.
Since 2000-2001, the general curriculum in the faculty of law is based on
interdisciplinary problem-centered education courses, known as the ‘active
education system’ (or problem-based learning).
Each academic year contains fall and spring terms, although this
sub-division is only valid for administrative purposes. That is to say, the
academic curriculum is based on a full-year education system. Every term
comprises 70 curriculum days except Saturdays, Sundays and the other
official rest days.
The total lecture hours per week are minimum 20, maximum 28 hours. If
necessary, courses and examinations are also executed on Saturdays and other
rest hours.
In the interdisciplinary problem-centered education system, the departments,
faculty board and senate of the university collectively determine the
lectures with their electives, which are still applied in the curriculum
beside the cases written in unit books.
The elective courses are separated in three main groups e.g. Public law,
Private Law and the Common Group. From the first year of their education,
the students are to select either from the private law group or public law
group. Subsequently, the student shall only choose elective courses
belonging to either Private Law Group-Common Group or Public Law
Group-Common Law Group.
The total education period in faculty of law is 4 years. According to
article 44 embodied in the Act numbered 4111, only 3 further years (6 terms)
may be allowed in addition to this period in order for a student to
graduate.
In the interdisciplinary problem-centered education system,
the mid-term examinations of the lectures are carried out once in a term;
the examinations of the interdisciplinary problem-centered education courses
are held at the end of the courses; at the end of the year there is also one
more final exam held from all the courses (theoretical and problem-based).
The lecturers may also organize quizzes in their own courses, although that
is not frequent at all.
The qualifications for attending the final exam at the end of the year and
its completion are: to attend the lecture courses with %70 percent; to
attend the interdisciplinary problem-centered education courses with %80; to
fulfill homework, papers and other works successfully.
In the faculty of law, a system of “class-passing” is implemented.
The students who fail to pass the classes in which interdisciplinary
problem-centered education is executed shall not take the courses with
electives from the upper class.
According to internal rules and regulations in force at the Faculty, the
grades are categorized as follows:
85-100 AA
70-84
BB
60-69
CC
50-59
DD
49-0
FF
The grades, which are not included in the average, are:
Y- Insufficient (Yetersiz)
B- Successful (Başarılı)
Temporary Grades are:
D- Discontinuous (Devamsız) (This grade is accepted as FF in the calculation
of the grade average)
