"Workshop on research in the field of criminal procedure" as an academic discipline, refers to the legal profession-oriented disciplines and plays a leading role in the training of scientists - lawyers. Academic discipline is based on a procedural law, its application and Science criminal proceedings. From the standpoint of scientific research, research and approbation of work, it examines the current procedural law, judicial process and legal proceedings, theory and history of criminal proceedings. Trajectory monitoring study are the patterns and trends of criminal procedure system of its principles, actual problems of the theory and practice of criminal proceedings, the effectiveness of procedural forms and procedural guarantees justice, especially the status of individual actors, the problem of ensuring human rights and freedoms in the implementation of justice makes suggestions and recommendations for improvement of procedural law and practice. It is based on a generalization of investigative, judicial, prosecutorial and legal practice. The subject of discipline is oposeredkom scientific research, research and approbation of laws to identify and examine procedural law, procedural activities and legal proceedings, ways to improve the conceptual model of justice, characteristics and trends of the theory and history of criminal proceedings.

Evaluation methods of knowledge (training success) are: preliminary, current and final control of knowledge of graduates.
Previous control is a diagnostic input level of knowledge that helps identify existing knowledge of graduate students at the beginning of the study subjects or early study of a particular topic. The form of the previous control is the control input of knowledge. It is held the first workshops to assess residual graduate knowledge obtained during the study cycle courses at the same level of education. Previous control in type testing and evaluation of residual knowledge is also carried out some time early next seminars. Input control knowledge held in the form of a written definition of certain concepts, categories or procedural - legal phenomena for 10 - 15 minutes at the start of classes.
Incoming graduate students knowledge control is included in the score for seminary or practice session.
Current control knowledge is an integral part of the whole learning process and serves as a means to identify the perception (learning) training material discipline.
Careful assessment of graduate students based on current knowledge control is through control of the activity during the study course program material, including answers to seminars, preparation of reports and analysis reports and more.
Current control on seminars conducted to elucidate readiness to graduate studies in the following forms:
- standardized frontal verbal questioning graduate seminar on key issues;
- frontal checking homework; some graduate students call for independent solving practical problems or situations;
- blitz - polls, which is either a complete survey of all participants graduate or sample survey of the audience. Questions on the subject (some themes), which was preparing for seminars, provide clear short answer. In blitz poll every graduate student has the right to answer only once;
- Other.
Independent and individual graduate work provides targeted search for effective ways of learning discipline, awareness and consistency of work, the ability to use existing literature and regulatory framework to plan own work.
Final control of knowledge in favor of graduate credit. The structure of tasks record, according to the specifics include:
- tests of different levels of difficulty,
- a theoretical issue or problem regulatory nature.
Criteria for evaluating learning outcomes:
Practical classes – 40
Scientific research tasks, reports at conferences, abstracts, scientific publications, draft decisions, VNS activity, etc. - 60
