摘要：The article is focused on quality assessment of university graduates. It was shown that the introduction of third generation standards of the higher education in Russia brought in a problem of assessment competencies. The methods used for assessment of knowledge “by the end result” are anything but indicative of real opportunities the graduates have. Teachers and employers face the common problem: what is shown by modern marks? Do they represent proficiency, competence, compliance to norms, possibility of correction? Currently, a certain “quality mark” of the modern graduate is the summa cum laude (also called as diploma with honors or honours degree). If at the end of training the student does not meet the requirements for obtaining diploma with honors, he/she can retake exams in several subjects. The detailed methodology aimed at evaluating the actual level of readiness of the student following the results of the entire study period is given in the present article. The factual findings enable the head of higher education institution to make the motivated decision on whether to give a chance to the student to retake the exam and improve the marks or to refuse. The received results showed that the students who were granted the right to improve the marks have progress above the threshold for obtaining diploma with honors.
