Task 2 Read and translate the text:

Now you are the student of Ukrainian State University for Chemical Technology. No doubt you have some questions concerning to you study.

How often will I need to come to classes?

The academic year is split into two halves (called ‘semesters’). Classes in the first semester run for 16 weeks between September and December. Classes in the second semester run for 16 weeks between February and June. For each module, students will attend one or two classes per week. The number of classes you will have to attend each week will depend on the particular programme, and the particular mix of modules, you are enrolled on. The module tutor will supply you with materials (handouts, etc.) used in the class you missed and will be happy to meet with you to go through the topics that were covered and the discussions that took place.

What will the classes be like?

Class sizes vary but you can expect an average of around 20 students. Some classes might be slightly smaller, others slightly larger. The small class sizes make for a friendly and informal style of teaching and learning. Tutors and students quickly get to know each other

and the emphasis is placed on mutual learning. Our staff are committed to helping students achieve their educational potential and have years of experience.

Although classes will contain a lecture component (lecture-style instruction provided by the tutor), learning takes place mainly through group discussion, debate and the sharing of knowledge and opinions.

What kind of work will I have to do?

In order to gain credits, you will need to do some work! The principal method of assessment across all the programmes is written coursework. This can take various forms, including essays, projects, practical

exercises and translations. In most cases, formal examinations are only a very small element of the assessment system. In addition to working on your assignments, you will also be expected to engage in some independent study. This means reading and reflecting upon books, handouts and other sources outside of your weekly classes.
