Course Assessment
◦ For graduated candidates, it’s better to apply self study assessment method to evaluate their ability to
collect data and introduce idea professionally. This assessment should measure candidate progress as
professional scientific candidate.
◦ In this regard, many course topics will be introduced by сcandidates, then lecture will be taught to
reinforce the targeted outcomes.
