Some Practical Tips
|
How can I see which courses are "Electives" for my Department?
| |
Go to stars.bilkent.edu.tr, get the main page. Choose Academic Units. Find your department and click on Curriculum. Go to the bottom of the page. You will see the elective type with a link to List Courses. This list shows the courses your department accepts as this type of elective.
Choose an elective for which you plan to study and get a high grade. Read the tip below on "repeating elective courses". Don't forget that not every course is offered every semester. |

I took XXX100 as elective last semester and got a D. Can I take another course to replace this one this semester?
| |
Rules for repeating electives are as follows:
* You can repeat the same course
* You can take another course in the same elective group provided that you have completed all electives in this group
Example: The curriculum for Department X requires you take 2 "Technical Electives". You took XXX100 as Technical Elective 1. You want to take a different course in order to repeat XXX100. First you must take Technical Elective 2, then you may go back and take a different course to replace XXX100 which you took as Technical Elective 1.
* Let's say you took XXX100 as Technical Elective 1 and YYY100 as Technical Elective 2. Now you can take another course to repeat XXX100. However:
i) This will be considered a New Course! If your status is Probation or Unsatisfactory, where new courses you may take are limited, you may not be able to take this course, even if it is a replacement for a course previously taken.
ii) If your status is Satisfactory, you may only repeat courses of the last 2 semesters. You will need to check whether XXX100 falls within this range.

I took ZZZ100 last year and got FZ. I took this course again last semester but Withdrew. Now is this course a New Course for me?
| |
No. A course with W is considered as a New Course as of the 2016 - 2017 Academic Year. However, you took this course once before the W. When you Withdraw from a course, the previous grade is valid. Therefore, your grade for this course is now FZ, and so ZZZ100 is not a new course for you. |
