I did not get the score I expected. What is the bell curve / Relative evaluation system?

Relative evaluation: In the relative evaluation system with letters, it is not technically possible for the student to get the grade one always expects. Because a student's success in a course is a result of his own score, and also scores other students taking that course.

In the bell curve system; considering that the two ends of the bell are low and the midpoint is high, the number of those who receive grades such as FF and AA at both ends are expected to be naturally few, and the CC areas with a middle grade are expected to be high, but it is not necessary.

If your grade point average is less than the average of the other students taking the course, it is likely that you will get worse than you expect. If your absolute average grade is below 40, you will fail that course, as per our regulations.

The relative evaluation system is a system that reduces copy and increases competition. If a copy is given to other students, the grade of the student in the course will increase, so the grade of the student who copies will decrease. Having better grades than other students will make it easier for you to pass, and will increase your success score.

In some courses, direct relative evaluation is not used: With the Directed Study course, the computer-based relative evaluation system is not applied in the Single Course Exam, Exemption Exams and Make-up Exams. In such cases, when a letter evaluation note is required, the absolute grade is converted to a relative letter note as specified in the relevant regulation (Link for the regulation)
