Credit is the obligatory form of the control, which gives the possibility to estimate systematic assimilation of the educational material on “Basics of of the design ergonomics”.
During a semester student may gain 50 points (20 points – current control, 30 – for the realization of scientific work). At the credit – maximum 50 points. For the admission to the credit a student must score not less than 25 points, according to the current control results.
Credit on the discipline “Basics of the design ergonomics” is done in written-oral form. Students receive written test tasks, for which it is possible to obtain 30 points. The second part of a credit includes oral answer for the question, for which it is also possible to obtain 20 points. 20 points for the oral answer are awarded in the following way:
