Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures
Assessment methods and criteria
The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. Forms of current control: assessment of homework, written and oral answers to independent tasks. The student can receive a maximum of 40 points for homework, independent assignments, oral answers. The final semester control is conducted in the form of an exam (60 points). The exam ticket includes 2 theoretical questions (20 points each) and a task (20 points).
