On December 8, 2021, the traditional competition among first-year students "The smartest first year student ̶ 2021" was held at the Faculty of Law.
The competition for the title of the smartest among first year students was attended by 14 smartest applicants for higher education: Andriy Demidenko (PR-101B), Karina Trokhimchuk (PR-101B), Vladislav Chimruk (PR-101B), Zoryana Bakula (PR-102B), Alina Dudnik PR-102B), Margarita Grigorenko (PR-102B), David Kharkov (PR-103B), Anna Komashko (PR-103B), Serhiy Bobrenko (PR-104B), Karina Zakharova (PR-104B), Angelika Levchenko (PR-104B) 104B), Markiyan Yarosh (PR-105B), Vasyl Bugaychuk (PR-105), Alla Ilchuk (PR-105B).
This year the competition was held online and included three rounds. The first round: a qualifying game, where among the smartest had to select six who will reach the semifinals. According to the vote count, half of the participants scored the same number of points, so this issue was resolved in an additional round. Second round: the semifinals, in which participants had to provide detailed answers to prepared questions. Among the six participants who took part in the second round, three finalists were identified: Karina Zakharova, Alla Ilchuk and Angelika Levchenko.
The finalists were tasked to provide as many answers as possible to the questions on the topic they chose independently among the proposed conditions of the competition. The participants selected the following sections: Cinema, Legal Deontology and Ukrainian Language. Each contestant had one minute to complete the task.
Students were evaluated by a jury consisting of: Iryna Sopilko - Dean of the Faculty of Law, Doctor of Law, Professor; Nina Trotsyuk - Deputy Dean for Educational and Organizational Work, Ph.D .; Victoriia Cherevatyuk - Associate Professor of Theory and History of State and Law, Ph.D., Associate Professor; Myroslava Olkhovik - Assistant of the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law.
According to the results of the competition, the student of the PR-104B group Anzhelika Levchenko won. Regardless of the result, each contestant is a winner, because he dared to take a step to test their strengths and skills, challenged their resilience and fear. So, now we can say with confidence that the future of the Faculty of Law is in the safe hands of talented and active individuals.
