Planned learning activities and teaching methods
lectures, practical classes
Assessment methods and criteria
At the end of each semantic module the control of theoretical and practical knowledge in the form of modular written control work (at the rate of 1 hour of independent work) is carried out. The maximum number of points that can be obtained as a result of each test of content modules - 10. The total maximum number of points that can be obtained by a student when performing test tasks of two content modules  20. Thus, taking into account all tests and independent work maximum the number of points before the final test - 60 points.
