Methods of education and teaching:

· Lectures: overview lectures.

· Practical lessons:seminars, solving of situational problems, conducting the laboratory works, business games, debates, parsing and discussing of control questions.

· Student’s independent work under the guidance of a teacher:work in groups, discussions, parsing and discussing of cases, seminar, solving of situational and standard problems, discussing of the results of individual and group tasks.

· Student’s independent work: individual work with a literature, in the Internet, solving of situational problems, preparing of a presentation, solving of test tasks, preparing and defence of reports, essays.

· Criteria and rules of the assessment of knowledge:

Current control - t
– assessment of the level of formedness of the competences:

t= (Z+N+K+P+S)/n, where n – quantity of knowledge by all competences;

Z: z₁+z₂+…+z_n - Marks for knowledge (testing, oral interrogation);

N: n₁+n₂+…+n_n - Marks for skills (solving of a problem, laboratory work);

K: k₁+k₂+…+k_n - Marks for communicative skills (exchange of opinions on the main questions of a theme);

P: p₁+p₂+…+p_n - Marks for legal competence (compliance of the safety engineering rules at work with devices, consequences of the ionizing radiation and etc.);

S: s₁+ s₂+…+s_n - Marks for SIW (individual work with a literature, in the Internet, solving of situational problems, preparing of a presentation, solving of test tasks, preparing and defence of reports, essays).

Current control: testing, oral interrogation, solving of situational problems, executions of the results of measurements and etc.

Intermediate control: colloquium is conducted in the form of testing and oral interrogation by the tickets.

Admission rating in the final mark of a student is not less than 60%, it’s calculated by the formula:

R_a= (t+r₁+r₂)/3 × 0,6

where t – current control;

r₁ – the first intermediate control;

r₂ – the second intermediate control.
