Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• The ability to independently apply methods and means of cognition in solving a wide range of tasks related to the design of foundations and foundations.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• Know the requirements for the content and nature of work in modern production, the main professions of the road industry, in the design, construction and operation of highways.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• Conduct teaching and educational work. The ability to apply standard methods of calculation of elements and components of building structures, perform design work and draw up design and technological documentation according to standards, specifications and other regulatory documents, including using computer-aided design tools.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Have an idea of the state of the main scientific and technical problems, prospects and interrelationships of the development of vocational training, as well as related areas of professional activity. To carry out communications in the professional environment and in society as a whole, including in a foreign language; to analyze existing technical documentation and develop independently; to clearly state and protect the results of complex engineering activities at the enterprises of the construction and installation complex and in branch scientific organizations.

Teaching methods

When conducting training sessions, it is planned to use the following educational technologies: - Traditional technologies are provided for teaching the discipline: classroom classes and independent work of students. The lecture course is presented in multimedia form. When presenting the lecture material at the beginning and at the end of the lecture, motivational speech is used. The lecture presentation uses text, audio and video information, graphs, tables, etc. Laboratory classes are held in a laboratory equipped with modern equipment for the manufacture and testing of road construction materials.

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.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

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:

 

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:
