Assessment methods and criteria
Ongoing assessment: survey before the start of laboratory work and in the process of its defense. The final grade for the educational component as a whole, the final form of control for which the test is set, is defined as the sum of grades (points) for all successfully assessed learning outcomes during the semester (grades below the minimum threshold are not added to the final grade) and grades obtained during offset. The form of the test is to provide a written report on the laboratory work performed, followed by an oral interview. The maximum number of points that can be obtained by the student during the test is 20 points on a 100-point scale. The credit score cannot be less than 10 points to get an overall positive score for the course. Systematic work during the semester is a prerequisite for admission to the test. An applicant is not admitted to the test if he/she scored less than 50 points during the semester.
