- Tutorials – allow to understand how your knowledge is developing. Your tutor will help you to solve some difficulties, which you can face during the studding process.
From time to time, in accordance to the teaching style you will be assessed. Usually you will be required to take examinations. They could be written or oral, indoor (held in the study room), outdoor (you can do it outside the examination room), open-book (when you can use all available reference books) and others. The purpose and nature of the assessment may be different, that’s why its methods are so variable. Some assessments (or final marks) consist of the sum of the marks of your current essays, reports, seminar papers. Informal assessment of your advance can happen at any time, but the date of formal assessment is normally known beforehand and takes place twice a year at the end of each semester.
Sometimes students want to change their initial major or degree program due to various reasons. University administration usually replies to such requests positively. They care about you studding the degree program you want. All changes you have to discuss at first with your personal tutor. He will advise you what to do, and whom you have to apply to.
