To the attention of students of the leading university of Kazakhstan!

On April 26, a live broadcast was held on the Microsoft Teams platform, where Vice-Rector for Academic Activities Sergey Vladimirovich Konshin answered questions about the Final Test, the exam session and the defense of theses.

-How will the Final Test be conducted? Are there any changes?

- The Final Test will be held on week 14 from May 3 to May 8. The taking of subjects will take place during the lecture.

-Will there be verification and proctoring system for the Final Test?

-Not. The Final Test will run similarly to the Midterm Test.

- Can teachers give an "excellent" grade without passing the exam for the session? Will it be possible not to write an exam, but to get an assessment from the admission rating?

- Not. All students will take an exam session.

- Will we study offline next year?

- It all depends on the epidemiological situation in the country. We are awaiting news from the ministry.

- Please, clarify the information about the state exam for the 4th year - it will not be? Will there be only a session in current subjects?

- 4th year students will not take the state exam.

- What platform will the session and Final Test be held on?

- The exam session will be held on the Portal platform using the proctoring system, and the Final Test on the Platonus platform.

- Hello, will the option "Limit the student testing time by the time the testing is completed" be enabled in Final Test?

- Yes, it will.

- And if during the exam my child cries, my test will be closed? They also check the sound there, the child is small. Will scores decrease when you look in the wrong direction?

- The proctoring system used at our university has a good function. It captures all your deviations - everything that you do wrong, from the point of view of the system. These situations will be highlighted by the operators and it will be seen that, for example, on the exam there are 3 students and one has no comments, and the other student is constantly looking somewhere and is distracted. Such moments will be rigidly recorded. If you open another window, always turn away, strangers will be present, someone will prompt, turning off the screen - all this will be considered by the proctor and the examiner, then a decision will be made. The test will not be thrown out and closed.

- Hello, I would like to ask you, and if I do not have a сomputer or laptop, how can I pass the session?

- Now the department of educational work is conducting a survey about what technical capabilities our students have. If they are not present now, you need to notify your advisor and the institute so that everyone is aware of your situation. Then the institutes will establish contacts with local schools, universities in your cities, so that you are allowed to come for an hour and take the exam. The session will last 3.5 weeks, and only 6-7 exams. For one hour, somehow this issue can be resolved.
