Examination System and Objectives
Examination System
Examinations are conducted in written and oral formats. The type of examination conducted is adjusted to the nature of educational activities and the number of students.
Examination Objectives
Examinations are conducted with the aim of:
- Assessing the extent to which students understand the material taught or assigned to them.
- Assessing students' abilities or competencies in participating in educational activities.
- Evaluating instructors and the learning process.
Examinations are held at least twice, with one mid-semester examination and one end-of-semester examination. The implementation of mid-semester and end-of-semester exams for educational activities is regulated by the Academic and Student Affairs Section and is adjusted to the university's academic calendar. Additionally, students are allowed to take makeup exams under certain conditions. Practicum exams or quizzes are regulated by the person in charge of the practicum.
During exams, students must meet the following requirements:
- Registered for the respective course in the current semester.
- Attended classes for at least 75% of the total lecture time
Exam results are announced openly or posted on notice boards. Exam results for courses not listed in the Study Plan (KRS) are considered invalid, and the exam is deemed null and void.

Assessment System
Assessment uses a relative and absolute assessment system (PAP). In a competency-based curriculum, assessment standards are based on predefined criteria called Benchmark Assessments (PAP) or criterion-referred assessments. The PAP-based assessment method is used to assess students' abilities absolutely against a predefined standard called the passing grade or minimum mastery level. Instructors must establish this standard before the start of the learning process. Students who achieve or surpass this standard are considered to have passed, while those who do not meet it are considered to have failed.
Furthermore, relative assessment evaluates the performance of all students in a class and is used as the basis for assessment. The assessment system must be able to classify students into groups based on academic abilities.
Students who have not completed their assignments are given an "K" grade. If, one month after the grades are announced, the requirements are still not met, the "K" grade is changed to an "E" grade. Students who improperly withdraw receive an "E" grade. However, after the final exam grades are released, students still have the opportunity to take a makeup exam, the implementation of which is left to each course instructor.
The criteria for achieving standard material based on the PAP method are described in the following table.
Grade | Grade Points | Grade Range (PAP) |
A | 4 | ≥75 |
A- | 3,75 | 72,5 – 74,9 |
A/B | 3,5 | 70,0 – 72,4 |
B+ | 3,25 | 67,5 – 69,9 |
B | 3 | 65,0 – 67,4 |
B- | 2,75 | 62,5 – 64,9 |
B/C | 2,5 | 60,0 – 62,4 |
C+ | 2,25 | 57,5 – 59,9 |
C | 2 | 55,0 – 57,4 |
C- | 1,75 | 52,5 – 54,9 |
C/D | 1,5 | 50,0 – 52,4 |
D+ | 1,25 | 47,5 – 49,9 |
D | 1 | 45,0 – 47,4 |
