Point-rating system for assessing academic performance
Volgograd State Medical University introduced a point-rating system for assessing academic performance. It has several advantages. Firstly, this system stimulates the daily systematic work of students in the classroom. Secondly, it excludes accidentally passing an exam or test with a good grade (for example, previously a student could not study for the entire semester, skip classes, and at the end of the semester pass the discipline with a “5”).

Various types of ratings are used in the educational process:
- by discipline in the semester;
- final rating for the discipline;
- semester rating;

- rating before final certification;
- rating based on the results of the final certification;
- final graduate rating.
