Teaching methods

In the conditions of credit technology of training, classes should be conducted mainly in active and creative forms. Among the effective pedagogical techniques and technologies that contribute to the involvement of students in the search and management of knowledge, the acquisition of experience in solving problems independently, it should be highlighted:  technology of problem- and project-oriented learning;  technologies of educational and research activities; communication technologies (discussion, press conference, brainstorming, educational debates and other active forms and methods);  case study method (situation analysis); game technologies in which students participate in business, role-playing, simulation games;  information and communication (including distance education) technologies.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
2

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade Numerical value Points (%) Traditional grade
