Form of final term control is an examination.
The final semester grade consists of the sum of points obtained by the student during the intermediate (modular) controls of the level of theoretical knowledge (for the first and second modules) and the points obtained for laboratory work. The protection of the laboratory work report is assessed by the appropriate number of points given in the table.
After passing the theoretical material, electronic testing of its mastering is carried out in the form of intermediate (modular) control. The control is carried out by means of the electronic training course (ENC) on the server of distance learning.
Students who have completed all types of academic work during the semester, successfully passed the intermediate (modular) tests and scored at least 45 points of the semester score and subject to receiving at least 60% (15) points for the results of each intermediate (modular) control of the level of knowledge.
The final grade is recorded on a 100-point scale with its subsequent transfer to the scale of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), respectively A, B, C, D, E, F, FX with a four-point scale (with a semester grade "excellent" - A, "good" - B, C, "satisfactory" - D, E correspond to the final result "credited", "unsatisfactory" - F, FX corresponds to the final result "not credited").
