 EVALUATION OF STUDENTS RATING POINTS

4 semester

Types of control of academic performance Maximum points

Module 1 Module 2 Total
Performance and presentation of laboratory works 4*4 = 16 4*4 = 16 32
Solution of situational problems 2*4 = 8 2*4 = 8 16
Testing 2*6 = 12 2*6 = 12 24
Written control work 2*7 = 14 2*7 = 14 28
Total 50 50 100

Every module includes 2 topics.

Performance and presentation of results of one laboratory work (2 in every topic) - 4 points.
Solution of situational problems / exercises (2 in 1 topic) - 2 points for every.
Tests of intermediate testing (1 in the topic) include 12-15 questions. Test is assessed of 6 points.
Written control work (1 in the topic) includes 7 questions and is estimated as 7 points.
Failure of the student to the current control without a valid reason (absenteeism) is estimated zero
score.
In case of absences for legitimate reasons, the student has the right to work them off through
individual tasks, including theoretical questions, practical tasks, labs for all missed topics included in the
module on the subject.
Absence of a student without a valid reason, a systematic refusal to answer for seminars, non-
fulfillment of tasks in practical and laboratory classes affects the amount of points of the current
monitoring and the final grade.
Re-surrender of examinations for the purpose of raising the score is not allowed.
To get exam automatically, a student must has 90 or more points in both semesters for “5”, 80 and
more for “4”, 70 and more for “3”. A student can get his “automat” only at the exam day.
