Examination regulations and grading scale
The final evaluation of learning outcomes at the University is carried out on a single 100-point scale. The assessment of the learner corresponds to the ratio of the level of professional and general competencies established in the assessment to the planned learning outcomes (as a percentage). The minimum positive level of evaluation is 60 points. According to the results of exams, according to the results of course and diploma works (projects); according to the results of work in practice, the student is given points on the following scale: "Excellent" 90 - 100%; "Good" 75 - 89%; "Satisfactory" 60 - 74%; "Unsatisfactory" 0 - 59%. If the final exam is not conducted in the disciplines, the results of the applicant's work are evaluated on a scale: "Enrolled" 60 - 100% or "Not credited" 0 - 59%
Оbligatory or optional mobility windows (if applicable)
The OP provides for the participation of students in academic mobility programs. This component is available to students in the course of their studies, subject to the signing of an agreement between the University and the student, as well as the agreement of parallel studies in several institutions of higher education with subsequent re-enrollment of study results
Work placement
The educational practice on the basics of field research of geospheres has 2 stages: the first (Kyiv) - acquaintance with topogeodesic researches; the second (Kaniv Reserve) - mastering the techniques of field hydrological, geological, meteorological research. The educational practice of survey-hydrographic and hydrological-hydrochemical has 2 stages: І - acquaintance of students with the main types of water objects of Kyiv; ІІ (Boguslav hospital) - mastering practical skills of working with hydrometric devices. Educational practice of mountain hydrometeorological (Yasinyansky educational and scientific base of KNU) provides mastering of methods of hydrometeorological supervision (stationary and route), practical receptions of field expeditionary researches. Industrial practice involves the acquisition of skills to solve problems of hydrology, hydrochemistry, hydroecology, water management, familiarity with the work of relevant institutions and organizations.
Work-based learning
Problem-oriented learning: lectures, seminars, practical classes, laboratory work in small groups; independent work on the basis of educational literature, test, calculation-analytical and situational tasks; consultations with teachers; scientific conferences. During the last year - writing a bachelor's thesis, its presentation and discussion during pre-defense with the participation of teachers and classmates.
