Point-rating system for assessing students' knowledge: a comparison of approaches at UNECON and SPMU
The paper compares the systems of assessment of students' knowledge, applied at Saint-Petersburg Mining University and at Saint-Petersburg State University of Economics. Due to the fact that the exam at UNECON is held in traditional verbal form, it is concluded that the mark given to a student by an experienced conscientious lecturer reflects the level of knowledge better than the mark a student receives at SPMU solely on the results of answers to test questions.
