25 TEACHING, LEARNING, ASSESMENT Combination of formal teaching methods, interactive learning, individual design type and research type of work (Formal lectures, laboratory classes, exercise classes, Computer-based learning, Case studies, Problem-based learning, Individual projects). Detailed description in programmes of study subjects (modules). ASSESSMENT BASED ON STUDY SUBJECT LEVEL AND PROGRAMME LEVEL APPROACH. Assessment methods of the subject level as defined in the programmes of study subjects (Timed examinations, Oral examinations, Problem-solving tasks, Oral presentations, Laboratory reports, Project reports). Assessment methods of the programme level mainly focused on semester projects and final degree project (Project report and defense and final degree project defense according requirements defined in relevant documents). 25

28 EXAMINATION REGULATIONS, ASSESSMENT AND GRADING The University applies cumulative grading in order to ensure objective evaluation, active students participation during the semester and their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. Cumulative grading final evaluation consists of interim course assignments (test, individual work, paper, laboratory work defence, and etc.) and final exam grades. If the student fails the interim course assignments and does not make to transition grade minimal grade of determined interim course assessments he is not allowed to take the final exam. Each study programme is completed by defending final thesis (project) and (or) taking final exams 28

29 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Master student s knowledge, skills and abilities, indicated in the study programme description, are examined and evaluated during the public defence of his Final thesis. Final thesis by its nature can be scientific research or scientific-applied. Final thesis is analytical work based on independent scientific or applied research. Master s thesis comprises 20 credits. Final thesis and its defence is to demonstrate student s creativity and the ability to critically evaluate theoretical and practical innovations, as well as others previously carried out researches and their results; to indicate student s knowledge in social and commercial environment, legislation, and financial capacity; to show information sourcing and its qualified analysis skills, computational methods and specialized software and generalpurpose information technologies using skills, as well as the ability to clearly and correctly orally or in written present their research results and (or) product designed to different audiences. Final thesis is defended publicly in front of the Study Field Qualification Committee approved by the Rector. All members of the Qualification Committee evaluate the final thesis and its defence in separate grades in ten-point grading system. The final grade is the arithmetic average of the grades given by the Qualification Committee members, rounded to the nearest whole number. 29
