Bilkent'in resmî syllabus'ünden. Sağdaki etiket o çıktının hangi değerlendirmeyle ölçüldüğünü söylüyor.

Haftalık ızgarada 4 saat görünüyor, kayıt sistemi dersi 3 saat yazıyor. Aradaki 1 saat yedek saat: Bilkent programlarında derse genelde bir fazla saat ayrılır ve çoğu zaman kullanılmaz. Hangisinin düşeceği dönem başlayınca belli olur.
