The discipline consists of two substantive parts, each of which ends with a thematic test and involves a final test in the form of an exam. The results of students' educational activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale (the grade is calculated as accumulated). According to the evaluations of the current control and the results of the thematic control works, the sum of points is set for a separate content part. The final (semester) control of students' knowledge of the discipline is a written exam. The maximum number of points according to the exam results is 40 points. The final grade for the discipline is formed as the sum of the points received: for work during the semester in seminar classes, individual practical tasks, thematic control papers (maximum 60 points) and for a written answer to the exam (maximum 40 points).
