Semester evaluation: The semester grade is determined by the points obtained by the student during the assimilation of material from all course topics, the completion of independent assignments, and group work. The semester final grade is composed of a weighted average of grades from all types of academic work, taking into account their respective weight coefficients. All types of work throughout the semester have the following maximum and minimum scores: - Maximum: 60 points - Minimum: 36 points Final evaluation: The final evaluation in the third semester is conducted in the form of an exam. The maximum score for the exam is 40 points, and the minimum score (passing grade) that is added to the semester grades is 24 points. The total maximum score for the discipline is 100 points. Therefore, the final grade for the discipline (ranging from a minimum of 60 to a maximum of 100 points) is determined by the sum of points from the semester work and the exam.
