Assessment concept of the study programme is based on the assessment system of the University, which can be subdivided into:
1) Current control;
2) Rating control;
3) Midterm control;
4) Final Examination
All types of control assessment include performance of laboratory, practical and home assignments, class attendance, tests, colloquiums, reports, interviews, etc. The types and number of current control depend on the module content and workload in terms of hours. Likewise, the mark for rating knowledge assessment is defined by the teacher depending on the module peculiarities. The Deadline for all types of assessment is determined by a calendar schedule of the study process.
The rating system of student assessment is a series of events which ensures quality control of student performance while acquiring the main educational programmes. Within the rating system, the assessment of the student performance is cumulative and is used for learning and teaching process management, granting scholarships and recruiting graduates.
Computer technology is used to process and store the assessment data.
The total score given for all types of control is 100 points.
The structure of the module includes:
a) Knowledge development programme;
b) Skills development programme, containing complex academic achievements of skills and methods of development;
c) List of problem-solving tasks (for the theoretical modules) and problem-solving pragmatic/professional tasks;
d) Audiovisual materials and other technical support;
e) Types of controls which include different test tasks and activities as role-playing, interactive technologies, round-tables, conferences, projects, presentations and multimedia educational programmes;
f) Topics and tasks for further independent study, schedules and control forms;
g) Topics for research (reports, course and diploma papers)
Total mark (TM) is calculated as following:
TM = [(MT1+MT2)] * 0.6+Ex * 0.4
MT=CC+RC+ SIS, where
MT stands for Midterm
CC stands for current control
SIS stands for students independent studies
TM - a numerical equivalent of total examination marks
Total is 100 points

The academic assessment of students is implemented through current, independent work, mid-term and final controls.
Current assessment includes successful fulfillment of practical assignments, writing essays, reports and attendance. Types and number of tasks depend on the module content and workload. Deadline is determined by a programme schedule.
The system of academic assessment is a complex of events which ensure control for the quality of the students’ performance. Within the system, assessment of the quality of the master students’ performance is cumulative and used for learning and teaching process management, scholarship granting, and graduates’ recruitment.
Monitoring the evaluation is carried out by means of IT - computer system which processes all information.
Independent study results are also taken into consideration and are a part of final grades.
Mid-term assessment is conducted every seventh week. There are two module assessment periods at the University. The test system can be performed in two forms: paper-based or computer based tests.
The final assessment includes tests, presentation of project work on a given problem as well as text analyses, modeling of translation, etc.
Students whose rating points are less than 50% on the module are not allowed to take an exam. They have to go through retake procedure. Final control – examination is calculated according to the following formula:
