Assessment of acquired knowledge on this and that bachelor/master educational program is organized in accordance with the Order No. 3 by the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia, January 5th, 2007 - “The Rule of Calculation of Higher Education Program Credits”.
On this and that bachelor/master educational program evaluation of student’s learning results in each component of the program must include mid-term (Onetime or Multiple) and summative evaluation, which as a result for final assessment (100 Points).
Mid-term and summative evaluations (Evaluation forms) include evaluation component/components, what determine ways to assess student’s knowledge and/or ability and/or competence (Written/oral Exam, written/oral quiz, homework, practical/theoretical work, etc.). Assessment component unites homogeneous assessment methods (Test, essay, presentation, discussion, performance of theoretical/practical assignment, team work, participation in discussion, etc.). Assessment method/methods are measured by assessment criteria, by which achievement of learning outcomes is being measured.
Each assessment form and component has certain value allocated from the final score (100 Points), what is indicated in each Syllabus and is being communicated to each student in the beginning of the semester.
The evaluation of the achievement of the student’s learning results in each component of the program should include mid-term and summative evaluations. Credits shall not be awarded by using only one form of evaluation (mid-term or summative evaluation).
Under the evaluation system there are five types of positive evaluation:
(A) Excellent –91-100 points of evaluation; (B) Very good –81-90 points of evaluation;(C) Good – 71-80 points of evaluation;(D) Satisfactory –61-70 points of evaluation;(E) Sufficient –51-60 points of evaluation.
And two types of negative evaluation:
(Fx) Did not pass – 41-50 out of the maximum evaluation, which means that the student needs to work more to pass the examination and he/she shall be given the possibility to retake the examination after the self-study;(F) Fail – 40 points or less out of the maximum evaluation, which means that the work done by the student is not enough and he/she has to retake the course.
In case of (Fx) evaluation in any component of the educational program, the University must hold an additional examination within not later than 5 days after the announcement of the results of the summative examination. This obligation shall not apply to the dissertation, Master's project/thesis or other scientific project/paper. The points, awarded to the student in the summative evaluation, shall not be added to the evaluation of the student at the additional examination. The evaluation obtained by the student at the additional examination is the summative evaluation and shall be included in the final evaluation of the component of the educational program. In case of taking 0-50 points in the final evaluation, including the evaluation obtained at the additional examination, the student evaluation will be F-0 points.
The calculation of the Grade Point Average (GPA) is part of the system of evaluation of the student’s knowledge. The student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by multiplying the evaluation, obtained by the student in every subject of the educational program, to the credits of that subject. The product of multiplication of the subjects and credits is summed up and divided by the total number of the credits of the taken subjects. The weight of the point in the calculation of the average number is:
A = 4B = 3, 2C = 2, 4D = 1, 6E = 0, 8
