Grades of the in-progress achievements of the student are the sum of ongoing control and a midterm grade.

The ongoing control of performance is a systematic check conducted by the teacher on the student’s academic achievement on each topic of the course.
The midterm is taken after covering the main chapters of the course.
The final grade comprises of the ongoing control grades and the final exam grade. Assessment of in-progress performance (rating of admission) is 70% of the final grade of the course. Final exam is 30% of the final grade of the course.
Assessment of student’s knowledge is carried out by the points-lettered rating system with the proper transformation into the traditional rating scale.
