In order to encourage the students to use UT online services, UT has made

a policy of giving a certain percentage of scoring to the students who are active
in online tutorials added to the final grade calculation in every course . Based on

the Rector Letter of Decision, online tutorial activities contribute up to 15% to the
final semester grade for each cou rse in the undergraduate program , although it is

not obligatory for the students to participate in onl ine tutorials . For students of
the graduate program , participation in electronic online tutorial is a compulsory

requirement and as part of an integrated tutorial system with the face-to-face
mode of tutorial.
