- verification and evaluation of the implementation and assimilation of independent tasks provided by the program during the semester (independent work),
- for a course with a research component, evaluation of independent and/or group research planned by the program during the semester (research that replaces any of the mid-term exams),
- assessment of participation in the course,
- final assessment of the entire course (academic module) in the examination period, which implies assessing the level of achievement of educational outcomes defined for the course.
Based on the workload of the courses (academic modules) provided by the curriculum of the educational program, the form of training, 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 evaluation form:

4. check-up.
A 20-point scale is used to evaluate student learning outcomes at YSU.
