Teaching methods
interactive lecture (use of the following active forms of learning: guided (controlled) discussion or conversation; moderation; demonstration of slides or educational films; motivational speech);
information and communication (classes in a computer class using professional software packages);
search and research (independent research activities of students during the learning process).
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.

| Interview on control questions | Demonstrates systemic theoretical knowledge, is proficient in terminology, logically and consistently explains the essence of phenomena and processes, makes reasoned conclusions and generalizations, gives examples, demonstrates free command of monologue speech and the ability to quickly respond to clarifying questions | Demonstrates solid 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, but at the same time makes minor mistakes that are corrected independently or with minor correction from the teacher. | Demonstrates shallow theoretical knowledge, shows poorly developed skills in analyzing phenomena and processes, insufficient ability to make reasoned conclusions and give examples, demonstrates insufficiently fluent monologue speech, terminology, logicality and consistency of presentation, makes mistakes that he can correct only with correction by the teacher. | Demonstrates systemic theoretical knowledge, is proficient in terminology, logically and consistently explains the essence of phenomena and processes, makes reasoned conclusions and generalizations, gives examples, demonstrates free command of monologue speech and the ability to quickly respond to clarifying questions |
| Work in practical classes | Completed the work in full, observing the required sequence of actions; the report is drawn up in accordance with the requirements; correctly analyzes errors. When answering questions, correctly understands the essence of the question, gives an accurate definition and interpretation of the main concepts; provides new examples when answering questions, can apply knowledge in a new situation, can establish connections between the material being studied and previously studied material, as well as with material learned in other disciplines. | Completed the work according to the requirement for a grade of "5", but made 2-3 mistakes. The student's answer to the questions meets the basic requirements for an answer of 5, but is given without applying knowledge in a new situation, without using connections with previously studied material and material learned in other disciplines; one mistake or no more than two mistakes were made, the student can correct them independently or with a little help from the teacher. | Did not complete the work, but at least 50% of the volume, which allows obtaining correct results and conclusions; mistakes were made during the work. When answering the questions, the student correctly understands the essence of the question, but the answer contains individual problems in learning the course questions that do not interfere with further learning of the program material; no more than one gross mistake and two mistakes were made. | Completed the work in full, observing the required sequence of actions; the report is drawn up in accordance with the requirements; correctly analyzes errors. When answering questions, correctly understands the essence of the question, gives an accurate definition and interpretation of the main concepts; provides new examples when answering questions, can apply knowledge in a new situation, can establish connections between the material being studied and previously studied material, as well as with material learned in other disciplines. |
| Boundary control | test: 18-20 points – knowledge demonstrated at a high level | test: 14-17 points – knowledge demonstrated at a basic level | test: 13-10 points – knowledge demonstrated at a satisfactory level | test: 18-20 points – knowledge demonstrated at a high level |
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 |
