Assessment methods and criteria
- Semester evaluation: The academic semester has three content modules: content module 1 (ЗМ1) includes topics 1-7, content module 2 (ЗМ2) includes topics 8-12, content module 3 (ЗМ3) includes themes 13-17. - final evaluation (in the form of an exam): exam form - written and oral. The examination ticket consists of 2 questions; each question is rated from 0 to 20 points. In total, you can get from 0 to 40 points for the exam. The condition for achieving a positive assessment for the discipline is to receive at least 60 points, while the score for the results of training 2 [skill] and 4 [autonomy and responsibility] cannot be less than 50% of the maximum level (15 and 5 points respectively), the score for the exam cannot be less than 24 points. - conditions of admission to the exam: the condition for admission to the exam is the student's receipt in total not less than the critical calculation minimum of 36 points for the semester, and the delivery of all laboratory works.
