F The order of evaluation of students' knowledge
The lecturer will determine the actual knowledge of students based on objective assessment.
Therefore, the midterm and Final exams always are open and it should be noted that not only other
professors and instructors of the department can observe examination process, as well as other interested
persons (parents, employers, etc.), are allowed to participate exams. The Final exam will be organized
by the Testing center of the Institute (without participation of instructor of the course) in the presence of
a commission appointed by faculty administration. These methods of organizing of Final exam provide

Reward scores distribution for each lesson
During the study students can get up to 25 reward scores per one Midterm period (8 weeks) and these
scores will be added to the result of midterm exams. 25 reward scores per one Midterm period
distributed as follows:
5 of the 25 reward scores are for the active attendance on classes:
During a week there are 3 hours of Lecture/Practice classes and 3*8=24 hours in one Midterm period.
Students can be rewarded 5/24=0.208 score per each attendance and 3*0.208=0.625 score per week.

10 of the 25 reward scores are for the timely performance of IWS tasks:
During a week there are 3 tasks for IWS and 3*8=24 tasks in one Midterm period. Students can be
rewarded 10/24=0.416 score per each completed task and 0.416*3=1.25 score per week.
10 of the 25 reward scores are for the diligence performance of students on Lecture/Practice classes:
During a Midterm period, there are 24 hours of Lecture/Practice classes and 10*24=0.415 score per one
hour. Students can be rewarded 3*0.415=1.25 score for completed tasks per week.
Thus, students per week can get 0.625+1.25+1.25=3.125 as a reward score and 3.125*8=25 score one
Midterm period.
