A system for evaluating students' academic achievements
Assessment of students' knowledge in current, midterm control, intermediate, and final attestation is carried out using a letter-based rating system for recording academic achievements according to Appendices 1 and 2 to the Standard Rules for the Activities of Higher and (or) Postgraduate Education Organizations.:
Current, intermediate, and final assessment of students is carried out in accordance with the assessment criteria specified in the syllabi of disciplines, final attestation programs, and the university LMS.
The current performance assessment of students is conducted according to the approved class schedule during the semester and involves systematic knowledge checks of students according to the syllabus topics of the discipline.
Grades for current performance assessment are systematically recorded by the instructor in the electronic gradebook.
Midterm Control
Midterm control is conducted twice per semester in weeks 6-8 and 12-14, according to the academic calendar. It assesses students' knowledge after completing a specific module of the discipline.
Midterm control grades (M1 and M2) are recorded once by the instructor in the electronic gradebook within the corresponding deadlines.
Assessment Calculation
- The average current assessment grade is calculated as the arithmetic mean of all current grades for the semester.
- The average midterm control grade is calculated as the arithmetic mean of M1 and M2 results.
- The admission rating consists of:
- 72% from the average current assessment grades
- 28% from the average midterm control grades
Admission Requirements
To obtain an admission rating for the final control (exam), students must have:
- Full-time students: at least 5 current assessment grades before M1 and M2, and 2 midterm control grades.
- Full-time with distance learning: at least 5 current assessment grades for the semester and 2 midterm control grades.
Final Grade Calculation
The final grade for the discipline is determined by the following weights:
- Average current assessment grade: 43%
- Average midterm control grade: 17%
- Final exam grade: 40%
Final Grade Formula:
Ofinal = Occ × 0.43 + Omc × 0.17 + Oexam × 0.4
Attendance Rules
- A student who has missed 50% of class schedule hours without a valid reason is not allowed to take the exam.
- A student who has missed 60 or more cumulative hours during an academic period is expelled due to loss of connection with the university.
Exam Failure Consequences
- If a student receives an "Unsatisfactory" (F) grade for the exam, it is final for the academic period. The final grade for the discipline is not calculated.
- Such a student must retake the course within the summer semester on a paid basis, attend all classes, complete assignments, and retake the final exam.
Retaking the Exam
- If a student receives an "Unsatisfactory" (FX) grade, they have one opportunity to retake the exam on a paid basis within the same intermediate attestation period without repeating the course program.
- If the student receives FX again, an academic debt is formed. This debt must be cleared within the summer semester on a paid basis.
Academic Attestation for Master's and Doctoral Students
Annually, upon completion of the academic year, master's and doctoral students undergo academic attestation regarding the fulfillment of their individual work plan.
Reporting Materials Include:
- Supervisor's characteristic with an assessment of the work performed.
- Student report.
- Conclusion of the graduating department.
