8. Grading system

The formula for the cumulative rate is as follows: Оcum. = 0.6×current + 0.4×Оauditory

Current rate assumes test on topics 2 and 3 and students independent work (evaluated with small tests). The formula of current rate is as follows:

Ocurrent = 0.6×Оtest + 0.4×Оindependent work

Auditory rate assumes attendance on seminar classes and participating in

discussions. The formula of auditory rate is as follows:

Оauditory = 0.2×attendance + 0.8×discussions

The formula for the total rate is as follows:

Оtotal = 0.6×Оcum + 0.4×Оexam

The cumulative rate, the exam rate and the total rate are rounded.

9. Guidelines for knowledge assessment

Final Exam includes test (0.4) and oral (0.6) parts. The test has adapting assessment system.

At the retake the student does not have the opportunity to earn additional points for the current control rate. The first retake is held by the teacher responsible

for discipline. The final rate takes into account the cumulative rate for the current control, independent work and activity.

The second retake is held in presence of the commission consisting of at least three teachers, the final rate takes into account the cumulative rate for the current control, independent work and activity.
