Abstract

the article deals with the features alternative assessment as a means of increasing learning efficiency in non-linguistic universities. Assessment is the process of measuring the achievement of learning goals at a particular stage of the learning process based on predetermined criteria, and identifying and analyzing the results. The assessment reveals what the learner knows and does not understand, which training material is well absorbed, which is not yet sufficiently absorbed or not mastered at all. This is the basis for organizing and managing the learner's cognitive activity. The assessment shows the strengths and weaknesses of not only the learner but also of the educator, as well as the disadvantages of the learning process. Training tools, plans, and learning processes are also evaluated.
