10. Knowledge assessment

Assessment criteria on students' knowledge: - Knowledge of the basic categories of inorganic chemistry - Fluency in theoretical materials - Understanding of the laws of inorganic chemistry - The ability to solve problems by applying acquired knowledge 11. GRADING SYSTEM

The policy of assessment is based on a 100-point system and provides the following distribution of points: the current and intermediate control is assigned a total of 60 points, the final control - 40 points.

11.1 Approximate scheme of knowledge assessment during the course

	The student’s activity on:	Number of points min / max
I	CURRENT CONTROL: - lecture - workshops - office hours - self-study	2,5/5 (0,3*15 week =5) 7,5/15 (1*15 week =15) 5/10 (0,7*15 week =10) 5/10 (0,7*15 week =10)
II	INTERMEDIATE CONTROL: two of 10 control points for each coursework in the semester	10/20 (10*2=20) 5 /10
	TOTAL:	30/60 points
III	FINAL EXAM	20/40
	Total	50/100 points

11.2 Approximate scheme of the student’s grading at the exam

	Examination results	Evaluation in points (в %)
1.	Current control	40
2.	Intermediate control	20
3.	Final control	60
