Lectures, practical classes, independent work Total volume – 150 hours, including: Lectures – 30 hours Practical classes – 30 hours Independent work – 90 hours

Semester assessment: the number of points that a student receives during the semester is the sum of the points that were obtained when assessing work in practical classes, during oral interviews and performing thematic tests. Assessment organization: Work in practical classes is assessed based on the results of performance, in accordance with the schedule of practical classes. Thematic tests are conducted in written format. Learning outcomes, provided they are mastered at the appropriate level, are assessed as follows: 1. Verification and defense of practical work - from 24 to 35 points. 2. Oral interview - from 2 to 5 points. 3. Thematic tests - from 10 to 20 points.
