Semester assessment: The study semester has three meaningful modules. After the completion of lectures #4, #8 and #12, written modular tests are conducted. Mandatory for admission to the exam is: writing modular test papers with a score of at least 12. Final evaluation (in the form of credit): the form of the exam is written and oral. The exam ticket consists of 2 questions, each question is worth 20 points. In total, you can get from 0 to 40 points for the exam. A condition for achieving a positive grade for a discipline is obtaining at least 60 points, the grade for the exam cannot be less than 24 points. Conditions for admission to the final credit: the condition for admission to the exam is that the graduate student must obtain a total of no less than the critical-calculated minimum for the semester. Students who, during the semester, scored less points than the critical-calculated minimum of 36 points, must write an additional test paper in order to be admitted to the exam.
