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.

| practical task | Completed the work in full in compliance with the required sequence of actions; in the answer, correctly and accurately completes all records, tables, pictures, drawings, graphs, calculations; performs error analysis correctly. When answering questions, he correctly understands the essence of the question, gives an accurate definition and interpretation of basic concepts; accompanies the answer with new examples, knows how to apply knowledge in a new situation; can establish a connection between the material being studied and previously studied, as well as with the material acquired in the study of other disciplines. | Completed the work as requested, but made 2-3 shortcomings. The student’s answer to the questions satisfies the basic requirements, but is given without applying knowledge in a new situation, without using connections with previously studied material and material learned in the study of other disciplines; If one mistake or no more than two shortcomings are made, the student can correct them independently or with a little help from the teacher. | Completed the work not completely, but not less than 50% of the volume, which allows you to obtain the correct results and conclusions; Errors were made during the work. When answering questions, the student correctly understands the essence of the question, but in the answer there are some problems in mastering the course questions that do not interfere with further mastery of the program material; no more than one gross error and two omissions were made. | Completed the work in full in compliance with the required sequence of actions; in the answer, correctly and accurately completes all records, tables, pictures, drawings, graphs, calculations; performs error analysis correctly.

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:
