      Fall Semester: Project Execution and Evaluation

      Graduation Project (Fall)

      Following the assignment process, the student contacts their advisor and a project is carried out on a common topic determined together.

      • Output and Grading: Outputs requested by the advisor for the project are produced. These outputs are evaluated as Midterm and Final (or Make-up) exam grades and entered into the system.
      💡 Topic Freedom Note:
      Students do not have to work on the same topic in the "Graduation Project" course in the Fall semester and the "Graduation Thesis" course in the Spring semester. Studies can be carried out on different topics if agreed with the advisor.

      Graduation Thesis (Spring)

      The Graduation Thesis course is selected during the course registration phase in the Spring semester.

      • Advisor Status: Under normal conditions, no new form is filled out for advisor preference in the Spring semester; work continues with the advisor assigned in the Fall semester.
      • Thesis Writing: The work carried out is written down in accordance with the Thesis Template format determined by our department.
      • Midterm Exam: The product/progress determined by the advisor (without requiring a physical output condition) is graded as the midterm exam grade.

      Towards the end of the Spring semester, the following procedures are carried out respectively:

      • Week 15 (Poster and Presentation): The Poster prepared regarding the thesis is hung on the department boards under the supervision of the Graduation Study Commission. On the day and time announced within the same week, the student conveys their thesis as an Oral Presentation to the committee consisting of Department Faculty Members.
      • Last Week (Thesis Submission): In the last week of the semester, the **Thesis file** is submitted to the department in **printed (physical) form** as the final product.
      ✅ Determination of Final Grade:
      After the thesis submission, the advisor determines the Final grade by considering the Poster, Oral Presentation, and Printed Thesis File and enters it into the system.
