Goal
- Learn the theoretical and practical basics of the Adobe Illustrator package for use in solving professional tasks.
Objective
- - master the methods of computer modeling in Adobe Illustrator; - gain practical skills in using the commands and tools of the program to perform graphic work; - master the effects of the program; - master the work with layers in order to optimize their work; - to master import, export, file formats for the purpose of exchange with other applications;
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
- - on the theoretical and practical foundations of the Adobe Illustrator package; - on optimization of work in the program due to the use of layers; - on import, export of data and exchange with other applications; - on the effects of the program;
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 95-100 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.67 | 90-94 | |
