Teaching methods
Among the effective pedagogical methods and technologies that contribute to the involvement of students in the search and management of knowledge, the acquisition of experience in independent problem solving
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 | Development and solution of scientific problems | 0-100 |
| Methods of empirical research | ||
| Oral questioning | ||
| Midterm control 1 | ||
| 2 rating | Hypothesis as a form of scientific knowledge. | 0-100 |
| Hypothetical-deductive method | ||
| Oral questioning | ||
| Midterm control 1 | ||
| Total control | Exam | 0-100 |
The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type
| Type of task | 90-100 | 70-89 | 50-69 | 0-49 |

| Excellent | Good | Satisfactory | Unsatisfactory | |
| The policy for assessing student achievements is based on the principles of academic integrity, unity of requirements, objectivity and fairness, openness and transparency. The discipline involves completing tasks of 2 rating controls (weeks 8 and 15) and passing an exam. Depending on the quality of assimilation of theoretical knowledge, a score is given from 0 to 100%. | A complete, detailed answer to the question posed is given, the totality of conscious knowledge about the object is shown, the main provisions of the topic are conclusively revealed; the answer shows a clear structure, a logical sequence that reflects the essence of the concepts, theories, and phenomena being revealed. Knowledge about an object is demonstrated against the background of understanding it in the system of a given science and interdisciplinary connections. The answer is stated in literary language in scientific terms. There may be shortcomings in the definition of concepts, which are corrected by the student independently during the answering process. | A complete, but insufficiently consistent answer to the question posed is given, but at the same time the ability to identify essential and non-essential features and cause-and-effect relationships is demonstrated. The answer is logical and stated C+ 70-74 in scientific terms. There may be 1-2 mistakes made in defining basic concepts, which the student finds difficult to correct on his own. | An incomplete answer was given, representing scattered knowledge on the topic of the question with significant errors in definitions. There is fragmentation and illogical presentation. The student does not realize the connection of this concept, theory, phenomenon with other objects of the discipline. There are no conclusions, specificity and evidence of the presentation. Speech is illiterate. Additional and clarifying questions from the teacher do not lead to correction of the student’s answer not only to the question posed, but also to other questions in the disciplines | A complete, detailed answer to the question posed is given, the totality of conscious knowledge about the object is shown, the main provisions of the topic are conclusively revealed; the answer shows a clear structure, a logical sequence that reflects the essence of the concepts, theories, and phenomena being revealed.

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 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | 85-89 | Good |
| B | 3.0 | 80-84 | |
| B- | 2.67 | 75-79 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | 70-74 | |
| C | 2.0 | 65-69 | Satisfactory |
| C- | 1.67 | 60-64 | |
| D+ | 1.33 | 55-59 | |
| D | 1.0 | 50-54 | |
| FX | 0.5 | 25-49 | Unsatisfactory |
| F | 0 | 0-24 |
