Assessment methods and criteria
The results of students' academic activities are assessed on a 100-point scale. Forms of current control: oral surveys during lectures (20 points) and two written modular tests (40 points). Final semester control is carried out in the form of an exam (40 points). The examination ticket includes 2 theoretical questions (20 points each).
