Organization of educational process at the University is based on credit-modular system, which provides modular structuring of educational material and a rating system for evaluating the level of acquired knowledge and skills on a 100-point scale.
So carefully read with the Regulations on the organization of the educational process at the university on the basis of credit-modular system, which is located in the "Learning Process" on the Web-site university.
Modular technology education - is one of the modern educational technology, which provides a modular (block) construction of teaching material and its assimilation through consistent and thorough elaboration of training modules, motivation-based learning goals, many independent educational-cognitive activity of students and various forms of diagnostic level of his knowledge and skills.
Training Module - is logically complete, relatively independent, integral part of the course, the combination of theoretical and practical tasks of the content and structure with developed system of teaching and individual technological support necessary component of which is the appropriate form of current and final rating control.
Credit (credits) - a unified unit performed as student of classroom and self-study work.
Rating system evaluation - a system of determining the quality of student of academic work performed and the level of acquired his knowledge and skills, which includes assessment scores in all the results achieved during the current, modular and term control.
Rating (rating score) - a quantitative assessment of student achievements by multi-scale during the performance of a predetermined set of learning tasks.
The purpose of the introduction of credit-modular system at the University is the intensification of the educational process and improve the quality of training through:
- Stimulate systematic and qualitative as classroom as well independent work of students during the semester;
- Exclusion of fruitless for their ultimate essence "assaults" during examinations, thus reducing peak psychological and emotional overloads of both students and teachers;
- Motivate students to acquire knowledge and skills, as well as responsibility for the results of their own learning activities;
- Provide mobile feedback teachers with students during the semester;
- Instilling students with a sense of academic discipline;
- Increase the objectivity of evaluation of students acquired knowledge and skills.
University cares its name and reputation and certainly fulfills the requirements of the standard of higher education. Therefore, throughout the period of study for all students placed high enough requirements for mastering academic disciplines.
Long practice of the educational process in the university indicates that, despite all the measures aimed at improving the effectiveness of training, some first-year students experiencing significant difficulties in learning, first of all disciplines of basic training (higher mathematics, physics, chemistry and other).
These problems are associated with both insufficient schooling as well difficulties adapting freshmen to study at university.
Lecture form of teaching learning material in large streams, need to fulfill and protect a large amount of homework, labs, etc., and the passage of the current, modular and term control in strict deadlines requiring students to a high degree of self than most freshmen, unfortunately, not owns.
All this combined with inadequate psychological readiness to study at university, lack of skills of independent work often lead to a systematic failure to schedule of the educational process during the semester. As a result, there is an academic obligation.
A student is considered as having academic debt if it is not fulfilled for no reason current control measures (homework, lab work, etc.) has not been successfully control module or semester in terms established the training process schedule in the current semester.
Students who have academic debts on the basis of module control, the term control is not allowed.
According to the academic regulations, students with outstanding academic results for term control of three or more disciplines, deducted from the university.
Repeated passage of semester control to eliminate academic arrears in one or two subjects that remained after the scheduled passage term control is permitted only until the next semester.
The University is interested in providing future professionals deep fundamental, professionally oriented and practical training. Therefore, in order to provide a more thorough assimilation of students learning the material, the number of subjects in each semester does not exceed seven or eight.
In order to inculcate students with responsibility for the consequences of its training activities while at university and work on their individual skills of independent learning of student classroom does not exceed 25-30 hours for Bachelor program and 18 hours - for the Master Programme. After the theoretical training for each course at the University of passage provided training or practice.
Dear Colleague! If you have any questions during your stay at university you can apply to the curator of the academic group, appointed from among experienced teachers graduating department.
Curator of the academic group will acquaint you with the features of the educational process at the University, advises how to plan preparation classes, current, and modular term control, and if necessary - will give recommendations on the elimination of academic debt, help organize additional classes of those disciplines which you may have problems, and so on.
