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 | Border control 1 | 0-100 |
| Laboratory work "Technical characteristics of transducers for medical acoustic devices" | ||
| Laboratory work "Ultrasound scanning systems in medical diagnostics" | ||
| 2 rating | Border control 2 | 0-100 |
| Laboratory work "Forecast of development of biomedical engineering" | ||
| Implementation of the project "Analysis of the problem and proposal of a solution taking into account current trends in modern medical engineering" | ||
| 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 | |
| Laboratory work | Excellent theoretical preparation has been demonstrated. The necessary skills and abilities have been fully mastered. The result of the laboratory work fully corresponds to its objectives. | Good theoretical preparation has been demonstrated. The necessary skills and abilities have been mostly mastered. The result of the laboratory work basically corresponds to its objectives. | Satisfactory theoretical preparation has been demonstrated. The necessary skills and abilities have been partially mastered. The result of the laboratory work partially corresponds to its objectives. | Excellent theoretical preparation has been demonstrated. The necessary skills and abilities have been fully mastered. The result of the laboratory work fully corresponds to its objectives. |
| Oral surveys | Demonstrates systematic theoretical knowledge, is proficient in terminology, logically and consistently explains the essence of phenomena and processes, makes reasoned conclusions and generalizations, gives examples, demonstrates fluency in monologue speech and the ability to quickly respond to clarifying questions | Demonstrates solid theoretical knowledge, has a command of terminology, logically and consistently explains the essence of phenomena and processes, makes reasoned conclusions and generalizations, gives examples, demonstrates fluency in monologue speech, but at the same time makes minor mistakes that are corrected independently or with minor correction by the teacher | Demonstrates shallow theoretical knowledge, displays poorly developed skills in analyzing phenomena and processes, insufficient ability to make reasoned conclusions and give examples, demonstrates insufficiently fluent command of monologue speech, terminology, logic and consistency of presentation, makes mistakes that can only be corrected with correction from the teacher. | Demonstrates systematic theoretical knowledge, is proficient in terminology, logically and consistently explains the essence of phenomena and processes, makes reasoned conclusions and generalizations, gives examples, demonstrates fluency in monologue speech and the ability to quickly respond to clarifying questions |
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 |
