            Assessment methods and criteria
        
        
            Assessment is carried out according to the module-rating system, including current, modular, and semester control. The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. Forms of current control: tests, reports on laboratory work, abstract, oral answers during the lecture, written and oral independent assignments. The student can receive a maximum of 20 points for the evaluation of the abstract, oral answers during the lecture, written and oral individual assignments, and 20 points for reports on laboratory work. Modular control: 2 modular tests, for which the student can get a maximum of 20 points (10 points for each work). The final semester control is conducted in the form of an exam, during which the student can receive a maximum of 40 points. The condition for admission is the fulfillment of two conditions: obtaining a minimum of 24 points during the semester for the theoretical part of the course and a minimum of 12 points for laboratory work.
