            Assessment methods and criteria
        
        
            Current discipline control is carried out during seminar classes and aims to check the level of knowledge acquisition and the student's readiness to perform individual creative tasks in the discipline. 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. Students who, for both meaningful parts, scored a total of less points than the critical-calculation minimum (30 points) must complete an additional independent task in order to be admitted to the credit.
Final control of students' knowledge of the discipline - written assessment. The maximum number of points based on the results of the assessment is 30 points. The final grade for the discipline is formed as the sum of the points received: for work during the semester in seminar classes, performance of an individual creative practical task, thematic control papers (maximum 70 points) and for the answer to the test (maximum 30 points).
