Assessment of the depth of knowledge, level of skill development, and abilities of students is conducted through ongoing, midterm, and final forms of evaluation. Ongoing assessment takes place in each session within the learning module and serves an instructional purpose. Midterm evaluation involves checking the level of students' mastery of theoretical and practical materials covered in the modules and is conducted at the end of the planned course study within the semester. The level of practical skills is assessed during the completion of tasks included in the course content. Knowledge assessment and the distribution of points awarded to students are part of the evaluation process. The evaluation is carried out based on a modular-rating system.
