Final control Examination 100
Assessment of midterm control of knowledge, which is held in the form of control work,
Colloquium, test, etc. outside of class time should be no more than 15%.
When visiting a student training, carrying out studies on the subject, but the lack of class
in decisive control of knowledge, the work during the period from the 1st to the 8th week (9th-15
points) may not be 0. In this case, the final result of current control of progress is the sum of the
obtained current estimates minus the share of evaluation of boundary control.
In the Log of attendance and achievement the final result of ongoing monitoring of
progress exhibited at the 8th and 15th weeks of the semester in a separate column as the
arithmetic mean of all grades obtained for the relevant period of study, including the assessment
of the protection calculation and graphical, term papers, syllabus.
100% attendance of student activities, at the discretion of the teacher, it can be estimated
by adding additional bonuses. For such cases, the Log of attendance and progress there is a
separate graph. Also, the teacher may encourage the student with additional points for activity in
seminar/ practical classes. So, the final result of current control of progress, shown in the graph
of MC-1/MC-2, can be upgraded with additional bonuses/points.
Log of attendance and progress assessment of a rating of the admission to intermediate
certification (exam) will be billed as a separate item (Average score MC-1, MC-2) as the
arithmetic average of the estimates of the 2 semester control, which should be more than 50 %.
Monitoring of progress of students of the correspondence form of training is carried out both
before and during educational and examination session, which is conducted in accordance with
the academic calendar.
The student of distance learning before the training and examination session, losing all kinds of
control and calculation and graphic works, course works (projects), and certain types of
