Порядок та критерії виставляння балів та оцінок: 100-88 points - certified with an “excellent” grade - High level: the student demonstrates an in-depth mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline, systematic knowledge, skills and abilities of their practical application. The mastered knowledge, skills and abilities provide the ability to independently formulate goals and organize learning activities, search and find solutions in non-standard, atypical educational and professional situations. The applicant demonstrates the ability to make generalizations based on critical analysis of factual material, ideas, theories and concepts, to formulate conclusions based on them. His/her activity is based on interest and motivation for self-development, continuous professional development, independent research activities, implemented with the support and guidance of the teacher. 87-71 points - certified with a grade of “good” - Sufficient level: involves mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline at an advanced level, conscious use of knowledge, skills and abilities to reveal the essence of the issue. Possession of a partially structured set of knowledge provides the ability to apply it in familiar educational and professional situations. Aware of the specifics of tasks and learning situations, the student demonstrates the ability to search for and choose their solution according to the given sample, to argue for the use of a particular method of solving the problem. Their activities are based on interest and motivation for self-development and continuous professional development. 70-50 points - certified with a grade of “satisfactory” - Satisfactory level: outlines the mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline at the average level, partial awareness of educational and professional tasks, problems and situations, knowledge of ways to solve typical problems and tasks. The applicant demonstrates an average level of skills and abilities to apply knowledge in practice, and solving problems requires assistance, support from a model. The basis of learning activities is situational and heuristic, dominated by motives of duty, unconscious use of opportunities for self-development. 49-00 points - certified with a grade of “unsatisfactory” - Unsatisfactory level: indicates an elementary mastery of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the discipline, a general understanding of the content of the educational material, partial use of knowledge, skills and abilities.

Details of the task decomposition and software components. Creating structural, functional and flowcharts algorithms. Development of code and testing of applications. Creating of documents for developed of software components.
Опис: The course project begins with the approval of the supervisor of the technical task. During the design process, he consults with the manager as needed and in connection with the issues that arise.
It is recommended that the completion of the course project be evenly distributed over the entire semester and divided into the following stages:
Preparatory stage. This stage forms the first section of the explanatory note to the course project. The student must understand the task set before him, familiarize himself with the recommended literature. At the same time, it is worth taking a critical approach to the study of sources: it is recommended to select the freshest, latest data and use the most authoritative sources. It is necessary to clearly present the purpose of the task being solved and to carefully analyze the requirements for its solution. At this stage, it is necessary to formulate the task, describe the input and output data, formulate the requirements for the functioning of the software, conduct a review of existing solutions, analyze technologies, tools, software libraries, and mathematical models that will form the basis of the program's operation.
Designing. This stage forms the second section of the explanatory note to the course project. At this stage, the student must consider and describe various ways of solving the given problem, as well as develop algorithmic and mathematical support for the subsequent development of the program. The architecture of the software should be described, it should highlight:
– a low-level component in the form of dynamic/static layout libraries, which will be developed in the C/C++ language;
- presentation level - graphical user interface or command line interface, which can be implemented in any programming language that the student knows.
At this stage, the student must present a detailed description (diagram) of the program's algorithms and data structures.
Realization. This stage forms the third section of the explanatory note to the course project. At the beginning of this stage, the student must choose the most rational solution, during which it is necessary to perform the final development and debugging of the software. It is worth paying attention to the completeness, correctness and accuracy of documentation during the implementation of the course project, to the completeness of checking the correctness of the program. Project testing, development of user instructions, relevant documentation are integral components of software design.
Design. The student is obliged to draw up an explanatory note and graphic material in accordance with the requirements for drawing up technical documentation, in accordance with current standards. These standards are described in section 5.
The final stage. At this stage, coursework is defended. The student is obliged to present the supervisor with a final explanatory note to the course project no later than 5 days before the defense. Also, you need to present the source code of the program. The manager checks the project and gives instructions on corrections or additions that the student should consider and make in the project, after which he signs the explanatory note and the drawing. At this point, the course project is considered complete and can be submitted for defense.
Assessment methods and criteria: explanatory note to the course project, oral interrogation (100%).
Критерії оцінювання результатів навчання: The actual number of points for each of the parameters of the course project is determined by finding the percentage of the maximum number of points:
- 100%, if the student is able to think creatively, summarize the studied material, uses theoretical provisions and specific parameters for this, clearly, comprehensively, deeply understands and knows the material and knows how to use it within the requirements of the course program, is able to conduct an interview with members of the commission, with answers to leading and additional questions, independently corrects some admitted inaccuracies, qualitatively and fully performed the calculation and graphic works included in the course project.
- 80%, when there are some non-essential deficiencies according to the listed indicators, for example, the clarity and completeness of reports are not quite sufficient, there are minor deficiencies in calculations and design documentation, some carelessness in design, etc.;
- 50%, if there are significant deficiencies according to the listed indicators, which the student was able to correct on his own;
– 30%, if there are significant deficiencies according to the listed indicators that the student could not correct on his own, even if individual answers were good;
- 0%, if the student showed misunderstanding and ignorance of the main content of the course project, made gross mistakes in the explanatory note, calculations, in the drawing documentation, could not correctly answer the commission's questions.
According to the rating assessment, the assessment is determined according to the ECTS scale and the traditional national scale in accordance with the university's regulations.
