Written Essay
The purpose of the essay is to test students' ability to analyze the studied literature and judicial practice. In the form of an essay, students are asked to present their vision of a solution to an existing problem in science or practice within the framework of the course being studied. The essay is written by the student independently outside the classroom. Specific essay topics are determined by the teacher. An essay usually differs from a simple abstract (compilation) of sources by the student's pronounced creative, problematic approach to the presentation and analysis of the problem reflected in the title of the work. When completing the work, the student must demonstrate the ability to discover the essence of the legal problem, navigate the current legislation and law enforcement practice. Particular attention when evaluating the essay is paid to the student's ability to consistently, logically and competently present their opinions. The essay must contain a competently stated and reasoned position of the author. In terms of volume, the content of the essay should not exceed eight A4 sheets (Times New Roman font, font size 12-14, one and a half spacing). 1. If, when checking students' written work, including examination papers, a complete or partial match in the text of the answer is found for different students, and this match is not caused by citing the norms of the law or the judicial practice of higher courts, all students for whom a match is found are given a grade of 0 for the work, without clarifying the reasons for such a match. 2. The duration of each element of control, established by this program, includes the time of writing the element of control and the time of its submission when written in paper form, the time of its loading when completed in the SmartLMS system.
