A guide
on the use of a modular point-rating system for knowledge assessment. How can a student obtain a session automatically?
Who is a bachelor’s degree holder?
A bachelor’s degree holder is a specialist capable to active professional activity, possessing the necessary broad knowledge and skills, and ready for practical work.
Competence, regardless the major, is a constant readiness and ability to apply acquired knowledge, skills, and abilities in practice.
Competencies are demonstrated during the learning process, attestation upon graduation, hiring, and when determining the need for advanced training and competency updating.
Therefore, a competency is a category understood by employers, and a learning outcome is a category understood by teachers.
Assessing students’ competency levels is nothing more than an assessment of their knowledge and learning outcomes in each discipline.
Then you need to know:
“Students are obligated to: master the educational program conscientiously, complete their individual curriculum, including attending classes stipulated by the curriculum or individual curriculum, prepare for classes independently, and complete assignments assigned by teaching staff within the educational program” and the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “On Education” No. 92 of April 30, 2003.
The university’s mission is “To prepare professionals for their future careers by creating new knowledge, and to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the moral, cultural, and scientific values of society.”
The educational program’s objectives in the field of study define the acquisition of a professional education that enables graduates to successfully work in their chosen field of activity, possessing universal and subject-specific competencies that facilitate social mobility and competitiveness in the labor market.
In accordance with the objectives of the core educational program and the tasks of professional activity, graduates must possess universal (general scientific, instrumental, social-personal, and general cultural) and professional competencies across various fields of activity (production and technological, organizational and managerial, research, project work, etc.).
The learning outcome is a set of knowledge, skills, and experience, along with the ability to apply them in practice, integrated into professional and general cultural competencies (or other competency groups), and representing a description of what the graduate will be able to do (demonstrate) after completing the program.
To objectively assess learning outcomes, the university introduced a modular point-rating system (hereinafter referred to as MPR).

What is the modular point-rating system (MPRS)?
The modular point-rating system for assessing students’ academic achievements is a set of measures that ensure the quality of students’ learning in educational programs.
Your academic performance in all subjects will be assessed using the modular point-rating system.
Grades are assigned on a 100-point scale: for individual types of academic work, each discipline, and each module.
Each discipline is divided into modules, which represent the culmination of students’ logical knowledge. Students’ knowledge is assessed using points.
Based on the points earned in each discipline, students are assigned a specific ranking position, which is the arithmetic mean of the total points earned for the semester.
The final grade for a course is the sum of the points earned and is determined not only for exam answers but also for the results of ongoing work throughout the semester.
This means that you need to start working from the first days of school – earning points from the beginning of each semester, otherwise the points lost at the beginning of the semester (for tests, homework, attending classes, etc.) will not be made up later, and then it will be impossible to get a high grade.
