Assessment criteria

The course provides several forms of knowledge control:

• 4 homeworks;
• Exam.

Criteria

• All homework assignments are graded on a 10-point scale, minimum passing grade - 4.

• Exam grade is also given on a 10-point scale.

Final grade

Final grade formula:

О_final = 0,5·О_exam + 0,5·О_HW

где

• О_exam – grade for the exam on a ten-point scale.
• О_HW – average grade for all homework assignments on a ten-point scale.

Rounding occurs only at the very end - in the final assessment. Rounding is arithmetic.

Each task and exam is evaluated on a 10-point scale (fractional marks are allowed for tasks).

The exam is held in the form of homework defense: students answer the questions on the tasks they have completed and, if necessary, perform an additional written task. If a student for some reason cannot or refuses to defend himself or herself, he or she must pass a written exam.
