EXAM SYSTEM OF ZIS Zaman International School academic year has two terms. First term comprises the months between September to January, while second term includes January to June. Two exams are given, the former visa, the latter final exams. The teachers evaluate and assess the student not only with visa and final exams but also they consider the homework and projects they assign throughout the term and quizzes and tests they give, under the heading of teacher's evaluation. This is also called visa 2 scores. The final term score is figured out with %30 of visa exam score as well as the %40 of the final exam score. Moreover, %30 of the teacher evaluation score is added to the sum. If the score of any subject is 50 or more, the student passes, while below 50 is a failing score. Thus, the total average of the overall subjects is calculated and it forms the student's overall average. ZAMAN NEWSPAPER Zaman, Publisher Gurkan CIL, Editor-in Chief Gurkan CIL, Editor at Large
