 QUALITY WORKS
1-Quality Assurance System

Studies are carried out within the framework of the strategic plan to improve physical, technical and social opportunities. Information, personal development and career meetings and various seminars are organized. Information, personal development and career meetings and various seminars are organized. In addition, the performance criteria defined in the strategic plan are compared with the performance criteria that are realized every year, and success rates are determined and additional measures are taken in case the foreseen performance is not achieved by reviewing the resulting situation (Annex 3).
Within the scope of the rapidly changing agenda of higher education, in order to maintain the competitive advantage of the institution, it is planned to organize targets from the lowest unit to the upper unit and ways to reach these goals in line with the opinions and suggestions of the quality commission at the end of each year (Annex 4).
The duties and responsibilities of the Quality Commission of our University within the scope of the Directive on Quality Assurance Regulation and Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Quality Commission Working Procedures and Principles are as follows:
• In line with the strategic plan and objectives of the institution, to establish the internal and external quality assurance system related to the evaluation of education, research and administrative service activities, to improve their quality, to determine the institutional indicators and to carry out the studies to be carried out in this context in accordance with the procedures and principles determined by the Higher Education Quality Board. and submit these works for the approval of the Senate,
• Conducting internal evaluation studies and preparing and submitting the annual institutional evaluation report that includes the results of institutional evaluation and quality improvement studies, and publishing the annual institutional evaluation report approved by the University Senate to the public on the home page of the institution,


• Making the necessary preparations in the external evaluation process, providing all kinds of support to the Higher Education Quality Board and external evaluation institutions.
• The Commission is responsible for the establishment and operation of the internal and external quality assurance system to be implemented at our University (Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Quality Commission Working Procedures and Principles https://kms.kaysis.gov.tr/Home/Goster/104322?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1).

2-Education and Training
             Design and Approval of Programs

The curriculum in the education and training units of our school is evaluated by the relevant departments and given by the senate. In the 2017-2018 academic year, the Core Education Program, which is determined by the health sciences deans council, has started to be implemented in the nutrition and dietetics department (Annex 5). Some courses in these programs can be replaced by compulsory elective courses by considering the various factors and especially the quality and quantity of their current academic staff. Thus, stakeholder contributions in certain proportions are reflected in these programs.

Student Centered Learning, Teaching and Assessment
Credit values (ECTS) of the courses in the programs based on student workload are determined. The workloads of the practices and internships that students can perform in domestic and / or abroad workplaces are determined and included in the total workload of the program. The lecturers are responsible for the execution of the programs and the students are considered as the stakeholders of the program in student-centered education. (In the archive records, there are application evaluation forms for the related course and presentations prepared by the students.)
The success measurement method is determined by the relevant instructors and the evaluation method is determined according to the Relative Evaluation System Directive applied by our university (Relative Evaluation System Directive https://www.agri.edu.tr/upload/anasayfa/BA%C4%9EIL_Y%C3% 96NERGES% C4% B0_YEN% C4% B0.pdf).
In order to ensure correct, fair and consistent evaluation, the grades of students in visa, final, integration and other exam applications are recorded in the student information system, and students and lecturers can reach the relevant grades until students graduate. Evaluation outputs are protected under the control of the Student Affairs Office.
There are clear regulations covering the occurrence of justified and valid reasons that prevent the student from attending or taking the exam. These arrangements were shared with the public in the form of regulations and directives (Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Instruction on Attendance- Absenteeism, Excuse, Permission, Registration Freezing, Deletion and Deletion Procedures https://www.agri.edu.tr/UserFiles/CKUpload/Upload/ CONTINUE-CONTINUITY, 20% MADE, 20% C4% B0Z% C4% B0N, 20% REGISTER 20% ICE CREAM, 20% REGISTRATION 20% C4% B0LME 20% AND 20% C4% B0LD% C4% B0RME.pdf).
 
Student Acceptance and Development, Recognition and Certification
Clear and consistent criteria are applied in all processes related to student admissions First of all, advisors are assigned to each student group to ensure the adaptation of new students to the institution / program and orientation training is provided to these students at the beginning of each new academic calendar organized together by the University management and our school management (Annex 6).
Firstly, our departments are promoted in the media by our university in order to bring the successful students into the institution / program. Various gifts are given to the students who have settled in the programs they have won by choosing our school with a degree (top three).
The IC Foundation provides scholarships to successful and unfavorable students at our University, and they benefit from these scholarships in a significant way.
Academic counseling services are offered to all students and their academic development is monitored by the counselors through automation system, one-to-one and group interviews. This follow-up is at the discretion of consultants.


Education Staff
It cannot be said that there is a sufficient number of qualified and qualified academic staff in order to carry out the education-training process effectively.
Recruitment of the education and training staff is done within the legal framework according to the relevant legislation. The criteria for appointment and promotion are determined and approved by YÖK (Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Academic Appointment and Evaluation Criteria https://www.agri.edu.tr/upload/personeldairebaskanligidetay265/aadk.pdf).
The selection and inviting of the instructors to give courses to the institution from outside are carried out with the proposals of the relevant units and the approval of the Rectorate (Annex 7). In the course assignments in the institution, the competencies of the education and teaching staff, the undergraduate and graduate education areas are taken into consideration.
In order to continue the professional development of the teaching staff and improve their teaching skills, participation in various scientific events such as national and international seminars, congresses, conferences is supported. The equipment and material support needed by all education and training staff is partially covered (Annex 8).

Learning Resources, Accessibility and Supports
Efforts are underway to bring the learning environments (classrooms, computer laboratories, libraries, meeting rooms, laboratories and application areas depending on the department's characteristics and laboratories according to the department's characteristics) to be sufficient and suitable for the institution. In line with the limitations in the field of application of the Nursing Department and the principle of non-harmful ethics, it is necessary to establish a simulation laboratory in order to try invasive interventions primarily on the simulator and to establish a food chemistry analysis and basic chemistry laboratory in the Nutrition-Dietetics Department (Annex 3).
The facilities and infrastructures for the use of students have been completed to a large extent in the health campus (dining hall, dormitory, sports fields, technology equipped work areas etc.) where our school is located, and necessary steps are taken in the provision of areas on the central campus in line with the needs.
Regarding social, cultural and sportive activities for student development, the institution meets the transportation, accommodation and daily activities of the groups that will participate in such activities and rewards them with the award system. In addition, the IC Foundation traditionally awards those who earn degrees within the scope of such activities (ANNEX 9).
The physical infrastructure of the institution does not have sufficient and easily accessible learning opportunities for students (disabled) who require a special approach. It is known that the most problematic problem for disabled students is the lack of elevators in the buildings in our campus. In order to solve this problem, steps have been taken to complete such physical deficiencies by putting the buildings in our health campus into great repair until the end of 2020 in the 2018-2022 strategic plan (Annex 10).

Continuous Monitoring and Updating of Programs
Feedback from colleagues who work in areas where students receive practice training outside the institution.
Elective courses are determined according to the needs of the society.
The commitments of the programs regarding educational objectives and learning outcomes are secured by giving students accredited diplomas or transcript documents about the courses.

3-Research and Development
Research Strategy and Goals

Our researchers working in basic and applied sciences in our institution are carried out in the Central Research and Application Laboratory, where research activities can be carried out in many basic and applied sciences in our University. In addition, multidisciplinary studies are carried out with researchers at Atatürk University. There is a positive interaction especially in the research activities of the Nursing Department, community support projects (Annex 8).
Based on the BAP directive, our Institution's researchers receive support from the research projects that are published twice a year.

  There are mechanisms for monitoring and rewarding the scientific performance of researchers. The related commissions are assigned for performance review and ensure that academic staff can benefit from the incentives of the IC Foundation. In addition, the annual incentive premiums given by YÖK are a resource used in rewarding the scientific performance of researchers. The fact that we have 4 academic staff in the field of Science and Health in the scientific incentive awards given by the IC Foundation to support research activities shows that our school has made significant contributions to the research and development activities of our university in both quality and quantity (Annex 11).
