Goal
  • The purpose of studying the discipline is to master students the basics of knowledge of technological processes in the metallurgy of light metals, the theory and practice of processing raw materials containing light metals and their chemical compounds, the ability to make the necessary metallurgical calculations of processes and apparatuses. The subject of study is the raw material base, physico-chemical features, technology, basic equipment of metallurgical processes.
Objective
  • The objectives of the study of metallurgy of light metals are: - Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of producing light metals; - Knowledge of the main stages of the evolution of metallurgy of light metals; - Knowledge of the technological features of the production of light metals; - Knowledge of the processes occurring during the formation of raw materials for the production of light metals - Acquaintance with the main hardware and technological schemes of production - Acquaintance with modern problems of metallurgy of light metals, as a scientific discipline of specialization.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • This module requires the accumulation of factual data on the properties of light metals and their compounds, modern and promising methods for producing light metals from ore raw materials and intermediate products of metallurgical processes that prevent environmental pollution, domestic and foreign industrial technologies for producing light metals and their complex processing. Formation of chemical thinking among students, which allows predicting the behavior of light metals involved in the metallurgical process based on knowledge of the basic physical and chemical laws.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • After studying the module, the student must solve specific technological problems (developing a technology for obtaining a particular metal from a specific type of raw material, choosing optimal process modes, a method for cleaning or separating elements similar in properties, choosing a hardware design, etc.)
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • - compilation of literary reviews of research on the processes of production of light metals;
  • - generalization and interpretation of research results of technological processes for the production of light metals.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • - compilation of reports on completed research work;
  • - transfer of information on the results of research work;
  • - teamwork skills.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

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.

Individual tasks logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic under consideration is reflected, the main categories are correctly defined; detailed, independent conclusions are formulated in the conclusion logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic is revealed; there are minor errors and shortcomings in the studied material; general conclusions are formulated in the conclusion logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic is not fully disclosed; the theoretical analysis is given descriptively, the student did not reflect his own position in relation to the materials under consideration; conclusions are not formulated logical content is presented; the relevance of the topic under consideration is reflected, the main categories are correctly defined; detailed, independent conclusions are formulated in the conclusion
Oral answers to control questions demonstration of deep and complete knowledge and understanding of the entire volume of the studied material; complete understanding of the essence of the concepts, phenomena and patterns, theories, and relationships under consideration; the ability to formulate a complete and correct answer based on the studied material; highlight the main points, independently support the answer with specific examples and facts; independently make a reasoned analysis and generalize conclusions knowledge of all the studied program material; a complete and correct answer based on the theories studied; minor errors and shortcomings in reproducing the studied material, definitions of concepts, inaccuracies in the use of scientific terms or in conclusions and generalizations; the material is presented in a certain logical sequence, but one minor error or no more than two shortcomings are allowed, and the student can correct them independently upon request or with a little help from the teacher; has basically mastered the educational material; confirms the answer with specific examples the answer contains significant deviations from the topic; the analysis of the problem provided by the question is fragmentary and incomplete; facts are not always separated from opinions, but the student understands the difference between them demonstration of deep and complete knowledge and understanding of the entire volume of the studied material; complete understanding of the essence of the concepts, phenomena and patterns, theories, and relationships under consideration; the ability to formulate a complete and correct answer based on the studied material; highlight the main points, independently support the answer with specific examples and facts; independently make a reasoned analysis and generalize conclusions
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
