Influence of Evaluation System on Effectiveness of Foreign Students’ Mathematical Education

This paper studies the problems of improving the quality of mathematics education of foreign students in Tomsk Polytechnic University. We found out that changes in the evaluation system had provided students progress in studying math. The effectiveness of point rating system introduction is proved according to statistics over the last 5 years. The research involved the application of mathematical statistics, correlation analysis and variance analysis methods. Influence of different evaluation systems on the final grade is shown. We worked out that the studying time started to be used more rationally and the students’ activity increased during the term. Observational results showed a higher level of motivation, orderliness and responsibility. Assessment of the permanent knowledge confirmed the expected results.
