Policy and control

1. Policy of academic discipline (educational component)

The system of requirements for the student:

• rules for attending classes: it is forbidden to evaluate the presence or absence of the winner in the classroom class, including the awarding of incentive or penalty points. According to the RSO of this discipline, points are awarded for the corresponding types of educational activity in lectures and laboratory classes;
• module tests are performed without the use of auxiliary information from the Internet, a distance course on the Sikorsky platform, notes; incentive points are awarded for educational activity in lectures. The number of encouraged points is no more than 10;
• academic integrity policy: Code of Honor of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Ihor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute"https://kpi.ua/files/honorcode.pdf establishes general moral principles, rules of ethical behavior of individuals and provides a policy of academic integrity for persons working and studying at the university, which they should be guided by in their activities, including when studying and preparing control measures for the discipline "Design of software systems for mobile devices".

1. Types of control and rating system for evaluating learning outcomes (RSO)

The student's rating in the discipline consists of the points he receives for:

1. performance and protection of 7 laboratory works;
2. execution of 1 modular control robot (MCR).

System of rating points and evaluation criteria

Laboratory works:

"perfectly", a complete answer to the questions during the defense (at least 90% of the required information) and a properly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 10 points;

"good", a sufficiently complete answer to the questions during the defense (at least 75% of the required information) and a properly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 8 points;

"satisfactory", incomplete answer to the questions during the defense (at least 60% of the required information), minor errors and a properly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 6 points;

"unsatisfactory", an unsatisfactory answer and/or an improperly prepared protocol for laboratory work - 0 points.

Modular control works:

"perfectly", complete answer (at least 90% of the required information) – 30 points;

"fine", a sufficiently complete answer (at least 75% of the required information), or a complete answer with minor errors - 23 points;

"satisfactorily", incomplete answer (but not less than 60% of the required information) and minor errors - 18 points;

"unsatisfactorily", unsatisfactory answer (incorrect problem solution), requires mandatory rewriting at the end of the semester - 0 points.

Incentive points

for active work at lectures1 point

Calendar control

At the first certification (8th week), the student receives "credited" if his current rating is not less than 15 points. At the second certification (14th week), the student receives "credited" if his current rating is not less than 30 points.

Maximum amountweight points of control measures during the semester is:

R=7*rlab+1*rmkr=7*10+1*30=100.

Test:

The sum of the starting points and the points for the modular control work is converted into a final grade according to the table:

1. Additional information on the discipline (educational component)

• the list of theoretical questions submitted for semester control is given in Appendix 1;
• at the beginning of the semester, the teacher analyzes the existing courses on the topic of the discipline and offers students to take the corresponding free courses. After the student receives a certificate of completion of remote or online courses on the relevant topic, the teacher closes the relevant part of the course (laboratory or lectures) by prior agreement with the group.
