Application of the system of assessment based on points at a institution of higher education

The article discusses students' educational activities assessed by the system based on points. These activities mainly are: everyday academic performance, progress checks and exams (tests). Final grade is average number of points earned during performance of each activity. The technique for defining a specific significance of each parameter is based on the proportion between theoretical and practical components of an academic discipline as well as on the comparison of skills and knowledge amount checked by different tests, exams etc. Everyday academic performance rating depends on the average grade obtained by the student and on the number of his/her answers during seminars. The rating system is based on a hundred-point scale.
