Typically, this "activity" is practiced between December and January inclusive. On the correspondence form of training the terms are slightly different: students of the first courses take examinations in late November - early December, undergraduates - in January-February. This also applies to the year 2016.
Final week of the winter session 2016
Set-off is a form of verification of acquired knowledge that precedes exams and is a pass to their surrender. In most institutions of higher education, the winter session for students includes a period of credits, under which the last week of the first semester is allocated. If suddenly one of the credits can not be passed, in order to be admitted to the exams, it will have to be retaken. For this purpose, certain dates are allocated in the winter session schedule. And some higher educational institutions allow you to take exams even with a debt of one or two credits. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the fact that three non-handed offsets are a direct reason for expulsion from the university.
Winter Examination Session 2016
The usual practice of examinations for university students includes a final test of knowledge right after the New Year holidays. Therefore, the winter session 2016 will also practice the same principles. Thus, in most institutions of higher education, the exams will begin on January 9th and will last until the end of the month. However, there are educational institutions, where the session takes place before the New Year. The specific dates for the winter exam session, as well as the test date, are set individually for each university.
An example of a non-standard approach to passing exams can be the Higher School of Economics at the Russian State Humanities University (RGGU) and the Russian People's Friendship University (PFUR). There is generally no such thing as a winter session, since the method of recruiting the necessary number of points is practiced throughout the school year. At the same time in the RRGU in January examinations are held, but for those who did not score the required minimum points on the subject. And in the PFUR generally attestation is carried out, more precisely - two: in October (intermediate) and in January (final) and also by the number of points.
An average of 10 to 15 days is allocated for examinations. At the same time, there should be intervals between the exams, allowing you to prepare for the next one after the passed exam. These gaps should be at least 2 days and are usually 2-4 days. Also, the timing of the winter session for those who could not sufficiently show their knowledge, and will be forced to retake. On the correction of the situation gives 3 chances, although in practice there are more retakes.
Given all of the above, you can find out the exact dates of exams and examinations on the website of your educational institution, in telephone mode or directly at the university.
