Teaching and Assessment

QUERY LENGTH LIMIT EXCEEDED. MAX ALLOWED QUERY : 500 CHARS

The assessment system consists of:

performance of practical tasks;
performance of individual semester work. Current control is carried out during lectures, laboratory, practical and individual classes.

Semester final control in disciplines is a mandatory form of control over the student’s educational achievements. It is conducted in accordance with the curriculum in the form of a semester credit or exam within the time limits established by the schedule of the educational process. Includes semester exams and tests, defense of term papers (projects), defense of practice reports, public defense of qualification work.

Assessment of educational achievements of higher education applicants is carried out: on a 100-point scale or on a two-point scale (enrolled – not enrolled). Positive grades for all forms of control are grades from 60 to 100 on a 100-point scale and a score of «passed» on a two-point scale. The limit of unsatisfactory training according to the results of the final control is a score below 60 points on a 100-point scale or a score of «not credited» on a two-point scale.
