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.

Period	Type of task	Total
1 rating	Calculations, oral questions	0-100
	control work
	Test
2 rating	Calculations, oral questions	0-100
	Control work
	Test
Total control	Exam	0-100

The learner's answer to the questions meets the basic requirements for the answer to 5, but is given without using knowledge in a new situation, without using the previously studied material and the material mastered while studying other subjects; one mistake or no more than two omissions, which the learner can correct independently or with a little help from the teacher.	The work was not performed completely or the volume of the performed part of the work does not allow to draw a correct conclusion. When answering questions, he shows that he has not mastered the basic knowledge and skills in accordance with the requirements of the Program; 3 more errors and omissions than necessary for evaluation or cannot answer any of the questions asked. 50%, which allows to get correct results and conclusions; mistakes were made during work. When answering the questions, the learner correctly understands the meaning of the question, but there are certain problems in mastering course questions that do not interfere with further mastering of the program material in the answer; no more than one gross error and two omissions were submitted.

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	Excellent
B+	3.33	85-89	Good
