Teaching methods
1. Multimedia presentations should be attributed to the most effective forms of presentation of land reclamation material. This form allows you to present the educational material as a system of vivid reference images. The purpose of this presentation of educational information is the formation of a system of mental images among schoolchildren. The presentation of educational material in the form of a multimedia presentation reduces the learning time, frees up the resources of children's health; allows you to build an educational process based on psychologically correct modes of functioning of memory, attention, mental activity, humanization of the content of education. The use of multimedia presentations is advisable at any stage of studying the topic and at any stage of the lesson. New information technologies are being actively introduced into the research activities of students. Many students are happy to carry out research and design work on land reclamation and ecology, comparing tables, diagrams, drawings, diagrams. So, to protect some
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.

If the student reveals the content of the material to the extent provided by the program, presents the material in a competent language in a certain logical sequence, independently answers without leading questions from the teacher, accurately using the terminology of this discipline as an academic discipline, successfully answers test tasks, correctly and reasonably solves situational tasks. When publishing the second questions or calculations, there may be one or two inaccuracies that are easily corrected by the student at the teacher's comment. | If the student's answer mostly meets the requirements for the "excellent" mark, but one of the following disadvantages occurs: one or two inaccuracies were made when disclosing the main content of the corrected answer on the teacher's warning, an error or more than two inaccuracies were made when disclosing the second questions or calculations, easily corrected on the teacher's warning. | It is set in the following cases: the content of the material is disclosed incompletely or sequentially, there are errors in the response to tests, inaccuracies in solving situational problems, but a general understanding of the problem is shown and sufficient skills are indicated for further assimilation of the material defined in the curriculum of the discipline. | If the student reveals the content of the material to the extent provided by the program, presents the material in a competent language in a certain logical sequence, independently answers without leading questions from the teacher, accurately using the terminology of this discipline as an academic discipline, successfully answers test tasks, correctly and reasonably solves situational tasks.

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:
