Cambridge expert talks about writing skills assessment

On November 22, the seminar “Assessment of Writing Test” was held by the trainer of the Cambridge Certification Center Claire Barnes. The problems of the scientific seminar included questions related both to difficulties in teaching students writing in English, and to the peculiarities of preparing, passing and evaluating the written tests of the Cambridge exams (B2-C1).

Students were presented with the problems of writing skills in Russian students, as well as the most important aspects that teachers should pay attention to when teaching students writing.

“Should I find fault with spelling when teaching writing? I guess I will disappoint you, but Cambridge examiners do not! We do not correct spelling errors if the meaning of the sentence is clear. ” During the discussion, Claire Barnes gave a number of practical recommendations, as well as examples of working out writing skills.

In 2017, RUDN University scientists constructed a new explicit second-order precision difference scheme using modern computer algebra methods for 2-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) [1]. This year, our mathematicians used a new scheme [2] to construct a numerical solution to the Cauchy problem with initial data (for t=0) as satisfying the continuity equation. Scientists managed to achieve previously unattainable accuracy of the continuity equation.

Innovations, grants, technologies: what young researchers at RUDN are studying and what opportunities the university offers for scientific research

A young scientist at RUDN University is not just a researcher, but a bridge between cultures and disciplines. Their strength lies in “hybrid” thinking: they combine the traditions of the Russian academic school with a global perspective, work in international collaborations, and see science as a tool for solving specific problems facing humanity — from food security to interfaith dialogue. Their research is born at the intersection of faculties, and the results speak for themselves in Q1 and Q2 articles and real technologies.
