Control final paper from the course "Environmental Monitoring"
Assessment methods and criteria: Assessment of the knowledge of students in the academic discipline is carried out on the basis of
results of current and final controls.
Current control (40%) is carried out during classes: performance
practical works; protection of reports on practical classes.
Final control (60%) is carried out during the exam: written
component (50%); oral component (10%).
