- Seminar Activity : АктивностьOngoing assessment is carried out as part of the regular and systematic monitoring of students’ academic knowledge during seminars, including distance learning courses, and other forms of studies (internships, project work, scientific seminars etc.). Seminar Activity includes the following marks: Individual Oral Activity during seminar sessions (speeches, reports, questions, comments) . It comprises: • skills of participating in debates (active listening, questioning, responding to questions, emphasizing, discussion strategies) • skills of participating in dialogue on general, academic, and professional topics. (active listening, questioning, responding to questions, emphasizing, discussion strategies) • skills in delivering a monologue: informative/descriptive/reasoning • understanding of specialised complex longer texts/articles and reports concerned with contemporary economic problems • ability to read and understand journal articles, texts, lectures from different perspectives • learning topic-based vocabulary and its active usage in oral and written presentations Quizzes (up to 10 minutes). There is a kind of competition among the students. It means the time for the quizzes is strictly limited. If it is said the time is, for example, 10 minutes, after the time is over, the answers will not be taken into account. Home assignments. During seminars the students are expected to provide arguments in economic tasks, both with good English economic terminology and good economic insides. Independent work includes activities that students do at home, in the classroom and online work. The elements of independent work cannot be retaken. HSE has internal regulations concerning plagiarism. All the written assignments, at home or in class, are tested for plagiarism. If we come across an issue that can be characterized as plagiarism, the grade for the task must be given zero (0). The originality of all the answers should not be less than 90%. Otherwise, the paper could not be assessed.
