4. Assessment methods
Based on the workload of the courses (educational modules) provided by the curriculum of the educational program, mode of study, teaching methods, and taking into account the importance of the course in the formation of professional knowledge and abilities of the student, the courses are divided into 4 groups according to the assessment:
· with the final assessment,
· without a final assessment,
· without evaluation of mid-term exams,
· check-ups.
A 20-point scale is used to assess student learning outcomes at YSU.
Course assessment components and their assigned points (expressed as percentages) are chosen by the teaching professor, based on the essence of the course's teaching and learning methods and expected educational outcomes, and approved by the Chair. The forms of conducting assessments and examinations are indicated in the specification of the given educational program, in the summary of the course (educational module). Two mid-term and final exams are mandatory components of the course evaluation with the final assessment, and at least one of the other components (current inspections, independent work, and participation) is chosen by the teaching professor. There may be mostly small-scale vocational courses without a final assessment. Two mid-term exams are mandatory components of course assessment without final evaluation, and at least two of the other components (mid-term check-ups, independent work, participation) are chosen by the teaching professor.
