5. The terms of the course work accomplishment

5.1. The course work is being carried out during a semester. The deadline for submission of the course work to the department is not later than two weeks before completion of the lecture studies of the semester. If the student does not observe that term it doesn’t give reasons not to take the student’s course work for assessment.

2. The course work submitted by a student to the department (in the form of a brochure) is registered in a special register by a secretary of the department. A secretary of the department writes down the registration date on the title page of the course work, signs it and hands it over for review to the chief of the department.

2. The course work review by the teacher is carried out during 5 (five) calendar days beginning from the registration date of the submitted work at the department (in special cases – during 7 (seven) calendar days).

According to the review results the reviewer writes down on the title page: “Review - ____________ (marks). To the defense. Date. Signature” or: “Review – for revision. Date. Signature”.

The reviewer sets out in writing his critical notes related to the course work on the back side of the title page. In the case when the range of the mark is from 35 to 40 the reviewer can give no written critical notes on the course work.

5.4. The course work which was not positively assessed by the reviewer is given back to the student for revision by the secretary of the department, and after that it will be submitted to the department repeatedly with the previous title page. Before submission of such course work to the reviewer the secretary of the department writes down on the title page “After revision”, writes down the date of its second registration and signs it.

5. The defense and order of the course work assessment

6.1. The course work defense is carried out when there is positive mark of its review. The defense date is set by the supervisor of the course work after agreement of the teacher-lecturer. The last one approves the council members for the course work defense.

2. The course work defense is carried out before passing examination on the subject (as a rule, before the beginning of the examinations). The students who hadn’t defended the course work are not allowed to pass examination on “Economics: bases of economic science”.

3. Procedure of defense envisages asking student questions related to the theme of his course work. The main purpose of the defense is to find out the real extent of student’s independence in the course work accomplishment and deep understanding of the course work issues.

6.4. After the course works defense the teacher hands over them to the secretary of the department who makes all necessary registrations.

5. Maximum score for the course work assessment is 100:

- for the timely course work submission to the department – maximum mark 20;

- for the review results – maximum mark 40 (repeated submission of the course work (after revision) – maximum mark 20);

- for the defense results – maximum mark 40.

It is recommended to use such scale of correspondence of 40 marks system to the 4 marks system: 0, 10, 19 marks – “unsatisfactory”; 20, 26 – “satisfactory”; 27, 34 – “good”; 35, 40 – “excellent mark”.

5. The course work submission to the department is considered as a timely one according to the term fixed by the teacher-lecturer (taking into consideration requirements of the point 4.1.). In that case a student gets 20 marks.

If the course work is submitted with the delay not more than 7 (seven) days a student gets 10 marks. In the other cases a student gets 0 mark.

While transforming the results of the 100 marks scale into 4 marks scale it is necessary to follow such system:

- 90-100 marks – “excellent mark”;

- 70-89 marks – “good”;

- 50-69 marks – “satisfactory”;

- less than 50 marks – “unsatisfactory”.

The teacher puts two marks into the register – according to 100 marks system and 4 marks system.

Student must accomplish the course work repeatedly on the new theme:

а) when the summarizing mark is “unsatisfactory”;

б) when the defense results are 0 or 10 marks.

A student must repeatedly go through the course work defense if the mark of the course work defense is less than 29 marks or it is equal to 29 marks. The mark for the repeated defense cannot be more than 29 marks.
