Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• - Goals and objectives of scientific research: - General scientific methods and their application in scientific research; - Methods of collecting and processing scientific data; - The role of technical sciences and engineering research in modern science.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• – analyze literary data, – formulate research goals and objectives; – apply methods of ranking, abstraction and formalization in the analysis of literary and experimental scientific data; – work with measuring instruments and experimental data obtained; – perform SWOT analysis of scientific data and technological solutions; – assess risks and ways to prevent them when planning scientific research; – work with scientific databases.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• - can make non-standard decisions; - owns modern computer technologies used in processing the results of scientific experiments and collecting, processing, storing and transmitting information during independent scientific research; - understands the principles of work and is able to work on modern scientific equipment when conducting scientific research; - has an idea of the most relevant areas of research; - is able to analyze scientific literature in order to choose the direction of research on the proposed topic; - able to analyze the results obtained, draw the necessary conclusions and formulate proposals; - is able to present the results obtained in research in the form of reports.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• - be able to correctly explain and formalize the results of research; - be able to successfully develop new directions; - independently solve practical problems; - to deeply assimilate the theoretical foundations of modern research methods.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• - undergraduates should acquire practical skills in using various research methods; - possess the basic skills of experimental techniques.

Teaching methods

When mastering the discipline, the following combinations of types of educational work with methods and forms of activating the cognitive activity of undergraduates are used to achieve the planned learning outcomes and the formation of competencies: discussion, teamwork, individual training.

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.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

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:

 

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:
