Some aspects of the interim assessment in the mathematics discipline with a point-rating system of assessment

Currently, many Russian universities use a point-rating system to assess individual student achievements, replacing the traditional one and improving the quality of education. Despite the many studies examining the design and implementation of point-rating systems, the authors of this paper see the need to pay special attention to the methodology of midterm assessment, because, despite the fact that only 40 points out of 100 are allocated for it, the importance of final assessment in the discipline cannot be underestimated. The article describes the basic principles of forming examination tickets for midterm assessment in mathematics in the second semester at a technical university. The first part of the ticket tasks requires a short written answer and allows you to check your knowledge of the basic concepts of the discipline. In the main part of the ticket, the student is asked to solve several typical problems on the material covered in the semester. The third part tests the student's readiness to apply the acquired knowledge of mathematics to solve specific problematic tasks related to his future professional activities. The proposed version of semester control allows for dynamic monitoring of the quality of the educational process, promotes objectivity of assessment and the acquisition of solid basic knowledge in mathematics.
