Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, lecture demonstrations, practical classes
Assessment methods and criteria
Evaluation is carried out according to the module-rating system, which consists of 3 content modules. The knowledge assessment system includes current, modular and semester control of knowledge. The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. Forms of current control: assessment of tests, colloquium, oral answers during practical classes, written and oral independent tasks. The student can receive a maximum of 10 points for intermediate and final tests, 20 points for oral answers during practical classes, written and oral independent assignments and 20 points for the colloquium. The final control is conducted in the form of an exam, during which the student can get a maximum of 40 points. The condition for admission of a student to the exam is the fulfillment of two conditions: obtaining a minimum of 36 points during the semester and obtaining credit for the "Workshop on the physics of nuclei and elementary particles."
