The use of one of such new approaches in the assessment of students' academic achievements- formative assessment increases students` motivation to study, develops skills of academic independence, influences the formation of personality who will be able to compete and work in his/ her future international labor market meeting all the requirements of modern society.REFERENCES: 1.
