Education

In the First and Emergency Aid Program, the assessment and evaluation process aims to evaluate students’ knowledge, skills, and professional competencies in an objective, transparent, and multidimensional manner. This process is systematically carried out to monitor the level of achievement of program outcomes and to provide data for continuous improvement efforts.

Within the program, assessment and evaluation are structured to measure not only students’ theoretical knowledge but also their competencies in pre-hospital emergency care practices, basic and advanced life support, trauma management, patient assessment, emergency interventions, ambulance services, and teamwork.

Within each course, students are evaluated through midterm exams, final exams, quizzes, assignments, laboratory and practical studies, skill assessments, simulation practices, field and clinical applications, and case-based evaluations. Depending on the nature of the course, different and complementary assessment methods may be employed.

When calculating the final grade for each course, the weightings specified in the Bologna Information Package of the relevant course are taken into account.

Students are required to attend classes at the rates specified in the relevant regulations in order to be eligible to take the final exam. Attendance is particularly important in practical, simulation-based, and field training courses.

A letter grading system is applied in the program. Grades AA, BA, BB, CB, and CC are considered successful, while DC and DD are considered conditionally successful. In order for a student to be considered successful in a course with a DC or DD grade, the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) must be at least 2.00.

Assessment and evaluation results are aligned with program outcomes, and based on the obtained data, course contents, teaching methods, and practical processes are regularly reviewed and updated. In this way, continuous improvement of the program’s educational quality is ensured.
