The number of examination questions, practical and test tasks of various types in the examination ticket and the criteria for evaluating the answers to them are determined by the scientific-pedagogical/pedagogical worker who is responsible for teaching the academic discipline.

After the completion of the semester attestation in the discipline, the assessment of the student of higher education on mastering the discipline on a 100-point scale (as well as evaluations for the performance of other types of educational work) is converted into national evaluations (“Excellent”, “Good”, “Satisfactory”, “Unsatisfactory”) and ECTS grades (" A ", " B ", " C ", " D ", " E ", " FX ", " F ").

The results of the exams are evaluated according to the national two-point scale: "Passed" or "Not credited" and the corresponding ECTS grades. The grade for the internship, regardless of its type, is issued based on the results of the higher education student's defense of a written report in front of the department's commission, whose composition is formed by its head (no more than three people), within the specified time. Participation in the work of the commission of the head of production practice is mandatory.

Applicants of higher education who, according to the results of the examination session, have debts in 1-2 disciplines, may be granted the right to liquidate them within the specified time.

In case of receiving an unsatisfactory grade, retaking the exam (credit) is allowed no more than twice. During the second re-sit of the exam (credit), a higher education applicant may be accepted by a commission created by the director of the institute/dean of the faculty. The commission's assessment is final.

If the student of higher education was admitted to the semester control, but did not appear without a good reason, then it is considered that he used the first attempt to pass the exam (credit) and has a debt.

In cases of a conflict situation, based on a motivated application of a higher education applicant or a scientific and pedagogical worker, the director of the institute/dean of the faculty creates a commission for accepting the exam (credit), which includes the head of the department, teachers of the relevant department, representatives of the dean's office and the student council.

The procedure for converting the indicators of the standardized 100-point rating scale into the traditional 4-point scale and the European ECTS scale is established (indicated in the table):

 

Assessment on the 100-point scale of the Academy

Assessment on a national scale

Evaluation on the ECTS scale

90-100

counted

5 (excellent)

A (excellent)

82-89

4 (good)

B (very good, above average, but with some errors)

75-81

C (good, with a few significant errors)

68-74

3 (satisfactory)

D (mediocre with significant shortcomings)

60-67

E (sufficient, the performance meets the minimum evaluation criteria)

35-59

not counted

2 (unsatisfactory)

FX (unsatisfactory, with the possibility of reassembly

1-34

F (unsatisfactory, with mandatory re-study)

 

In the presence of valid reasons (illness, family circumstances, etc.), which are documented, the director of the institute/dean of the faculty may set an individual schedule for taking exams (credits) or liquidating academic debt for individual higher education students, lasting no more than one month from the beginning of the next academic semester. If this term is insufficient to fulfill the individual schedule, the issue of granting the higher education applicant an academic leave or a repeated course of study is considered.

Students of higher education who have fully met the requirements of the current course curriculum and the terms of the study contract are transferred to the next course by order of the rector of the Academy.

During the examination sessions, an independent test assessment of the knowledge of higher education students can be conducted as a quality control of the educational process of the departments, the completion of which is mandatory for all higher education students.

The results of the semester control should be regularly discussed at the meetings of the departments, academic councils of institutes/faculties and the academic council of the Academy and is one of the important factors of the quality management of the educational process at MAUP.

 

PROCEDURE FOR STUDENTS' INDEPENDENT WORK

Independent work of a student (hereinafter - SRS) - a means of independent assimilation by a student of higher education in extracurricular time, which is included in the curriculum for studying a certain discipline, or in the classroom under the direct supervision of a teacher; is more than 50% of the time budget allocated to a specific discipline in the working curriculum, taking into account the specifics and content of a certain educational discipline, its place, significance and didactic purpose in the implementation of the educational program.

The goal of SRS is the systematic and consistent assimilation of the full scope of the educational material within the scope of the educational discipline program and the formation of independence in students as a character trait, which plays an important role in the formation of a modern specialist capable of creative thinking, free orientation in the information space and making important independent decisions in non-standard professional situations.

Forms of SRS:

  • independent work in the classroom under the direct supervision of the teacher and in his presence;
  • extracurricular work, which is carried out by the student independently, without a teacher, but under his general guidance and control, including remotely

The content of the SRS for a specific academic discipline is determined by the work program and methodical recommendations and may consist of the following types of work:

  • preparation for classroom classes (lectures, practical, seminars, laboratories, etc.);
  • performance of practical tasks in the academic discipline during the semester;
  • independent study of individual topics of the academic discipline according to the working curriculum;
  • translation of foreign texts of prescribed volumes;
  • performance of control tasks by correspondence students;
  • preparation for all types of control tests, including course, module and complex control tests;
  • performance of tasks provided for in the internship program;
  • work in student scientific circles, seminars, etc.;
  • participation in electives, special seminars, etc.;
  • participation in scientific and scientific-methodical work of departments, faculties and the academy;
  • participation in scientific and scientific-practical conferences, seminars, competitions, Olympiads, etc.;
  • preparation for the final attestation, including completion of the final qualification work for obtaining the corresponding degree of higher education;
  • other types of activities initiated by the academy, faculty, department and student self-government bodies.

For correspondence students, tasks must be formulated in such a way that the student has the opportunity to independently study the content of the discipline.

Organizational types of independent student work. The student's work, which is performed independently in the free time from classes, as a rule, outside the classroom, however, sometimes, taking into account the specifics of the discipline - in a laboratory or workshop;

- a student's individual work is classroom independent work on individual tasks under the guidance of a teacher, during which the student can receive methodological assistance in the form of consultations on the performance of this work, while the consultations are of an individual nature. It may include the study of individual sections of the academic discipline, classroom design, work with the use of computer technology, etc. and take into account the specific requirements of a specific discipline.

Individual educational tasks from individual disciplines represent an extracurricular SRS of an educational, educational and research nature. They are aimed at deepening, generalizing and consolidating the knowledge that students receive in the process of learning, as well as applying this knowledge in practice. Individual tasks are given to students in the terms stipulated by the work plan of the discipline, and are completed by each student independently under the guidance of a teacher. In cases where tasks are of a complex nature, several students, including those of other specialties or faculties, are involved in their implementation.

Individual educational tasks can have the following types:

  • synopsis of the topic according to the plan set or developed by the student himself;
  • an essay on a topic or a narrow problem;
  • performance of calculation or practical (situational) tasks of various levels of complexity on any topic;
  • development of theoretical or applied functional (working) models, phenomena, processes, structures, etc.;
  • comprehensive description of the structure, properties, functions, phenomena, objects, structures;
  • abstract of read additional literature on the discipline, bibliographic description, etc.;
  • abstracting of foreign texts on professional topics;
  • development of educational and diagnostic test tasks.

One of the types of individual and independent work with students is the use of modern learning technologies introduced in the academy. This is a modular learning environment Moodle, which is created by teachers to help students and is based on the use of modern information technologies and computer learning tools.

The SRS methods , which contribute to the individualization and intensification of the educational process, include: problem-search methods; project training; collective mental activity; application of the latest information and communication technologies in education.

Problem-searching methods are aimed at activating the cognitive activity of students. Their use encourages students to conduct independent research, increases the motivation for further work, promotes the development of logical thinking, as a result, the development of their creative independent activity:

  • work with information sources: study of primary sources (educational books, periodical and scientific literature, reference books, video materials, etc.) when preparing for practical classes and performing individual tasks in accordance with the work program; study of the normative-legislative and legal framework; development of Internet resources on certain issues of the educational discipline,
  • working out the theoretical foundations of the lecture material listened to;
  • independent solution of practical tasks ( performance of analytical tasks; solution and written design of tasks, diagrams, diagrams, other graphic works; practice of trainings; independent processing of tests according to the topic of the practical lesson; independent solution of typical problems, situational exercises; preparation for the current and final controls);
  • translation of foreign professional texts, etc.

The methods of project-based learning are aimed at achieving the predicted results of SRS based on already gained experience. Their use is impractical and impossible without a clear definition of didactic tasks that students solve in educational activities according to various types of projects:

  • preparation of a critical essay, a digest on articles by foreign and domestic authors on a specific topic;
  • preparation of a report, presentation, portfolio on the chosen topic;
  • writing a term paper (project);
  • writing a graduation qualification project (work);
  • carrying out own research in preparation for Olympiads and conferences, competitions of scientific works, participation in round tables and forums;
  • preparation of reports for scientific seminars, meetings of scientific circles, clubs;
  • preparation of prescriptions for laboratory work, as well as preparation of relevant protocols and preparation for their protection;
  • analysis of a specific production, technological, problem situation and preparation of relevant analytical materials.

The development of individual project tasks by the teacher should be based on a personally oriented approach based on the principles of partnership between teachers and students.

Methods of collective mental activity. The essence of the methods lies in the collective creativity of students, aimed at solving certain tasks of increased complexity. Their use contributes to the identification and development of students' creative thinking and abilities, increasing the level of their independence and intellectual development, forming collective work skills, improving communication skills, and the emotional state of students. The methods of collective mental activity are distinguished by novelty, greater mobility in the choice of directions for solving the problem, and creativity of the participants. Such methods include:

  • formation of collective projects;
  • group situational tasks;
  • business games;
  • trainings;
  • brain rings;
  • etc.

The methods of applying the latest information and communication technologies in education provide the opportunity for differentiation, deepening the individualization of education, expanding the possibilities of control and self-control, and the use of creative tasks.

Computer technologies act as a convenient and powerful means of obtaining a certain result, and also contribute to:

  • visualization of the educational material proposed by the teacher;
  • combination of different ways of perceiving information;
  • increasing students' motivation for independent work due to its approximation to the real conditions of future professional activity.

The main form of control and assessment of students' independent work is conducting control measures. Control measures include current and final control. Current control is carried out during practical, laboratory and seminar classes and is aimed at checking the level of the student's readiness to perform specific work. The form of ongoing control during training sessions and the system of assessing the level of knowledge are determined by the relevant department. The final control is carried out in order to evaluate the results of training at a certain educational (qualification) level or at individual completed stages. Final control includes semester control and student certification.

SRS control is carried out depending on the type of independent work and includes the following forms : testing; control and calculation and graphic works; control questions after each lecture; interview; protection of term papers and projects; checking the performance of individual tasks during practice; business games and creative scientific conferences; colloquiums; tasks involving non-standard solutions; reports on the performance of laboratory and other types of work; filling in a notebook for independent work; other forms.

Grades (points) received by students for the performance of various types of independent work can be taken into account when calculating the student's overall rating score for the discipline.

DEAR STUDENTS!

VERY RELEVANT AND PROSPECTIVE ADVICE!

(from scientists and teachers of Princeton, Harvard and Yale universities)

 

This advice can be expressed in two words: " Think for yourself" .

It may sound simple. But you'll find - and you've probably experienced this in high school - thinking for yourself can be quite a challenge. It has always required self-discipline, and nowadays it also requires courage.

Especially now, I really want to form my views in unison with the views of those around me. Conformism, bending and stereotyped thinking are a danger not only for the student, but also for the teacher.

In many universities, what John Stuart Mill  called "the tyranny of public opinion" effectively discourages students from challenging dominant views on moral, political, and other issues.

As a result, dominant views are perceived as so obviously correct that it seems as if only fanatics or weirdos can question them.

And no one wants to be labeled a fanatic or a weirdo, so a simple, lazy reaction is to succumb to the views and traditions accepted in the environment.

Don't do this. Think independently .

Thinking for oneself involves questioning dominant ideas, even when others insist they are unquestionable.

Thinking for yourself means deciding what to believe, not by conforming to trendy opinions, but based on some effort to study the situation and honestly evaluate the arguments on both or all sides of an issue - including arguments for opinions that others seek to either stigmatize or, on the contrary, protect from criticism .

Love for the truth and the desire to understand it should motivate you to think independently. The main purpose of higher education is the search for truth and the acquisition of relevant skills and virtues that help one become a seeker of truth for life.

Open-mindedness, critical thinking and debate are essential to the search for truth.

Moreover, they are our best antidote to bigotry .

The first definition given by the Merriam-Webster dictionary for the concept of " bigot" is a person who is "zealously and fanatically devoted to one's own attitudes and prejudices."

The only ones who are afraid of open inquiry and criticism, of deep constructive debate, are those zealots, whether in university settings or in the wider society, who try to protect the hegemony of their beliefs by blaming others as if questioning these beliefs is bigotry.

So don't succumb to the tyranny of public opinion. Do not lock yourself in a sealed environment. When accepting or rejecting a certain opinion, make sure that you do so as a result of a critical evaluation of the arguments.

Think for yourself!

 

SO, DEAR TOURISM STUDENTS!

YOU HAVE GREAT PROSPECTS AHEAD OF YOU AT THE INTER-REGIONAL PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT ACADEMY!
