Q: How many quizzes will there be for this semester?
A: There will be 10 quizzes.
Q: How are the grades calculated?
A: With the average of 60% of your quiz averages and 40% of your final exam. That is:
(Overall Average) = ((Total of the quiz grades)/10)*0.6 + (Final exam grade)*0.4
Upon failing the final exam, the make-up exam grade (bütünleme) will replace the final exam grade on the formula above.
Q: How many quizzes should I attend to pass the course?
A: You should attend at least 7 of the 10 quizzes. Otherwise you will fail directly and you will not have the possibility of entering the final and make-up exam(VF).
Q: What is the passing grade for the course?
A: The overall average must be at least 40.
Q: From what sources should I study for the exams?
A: On the top of the "BIL101E ALL COURSES" page, the link "BIL101E20132014Spring" will take you to the page containing the list of the quizzes as well as SAMPLE quizzes, internet exercises and referenced work from the book, where there also are the links of the course materials.
In addition to that there is a textbook named "Computers are your future" by Bill Daley (Prentice Hall, 2012) which can be accessed using the library.
