Optimal management of the acquiring and evaluating the competencies process of university students by G. A. Dorrer, A. G. Dorrer, G. M. Rudakova

“…The advantage of the methodology, in the opinion of the authors, is that it is possible to easily vary the degree of detail of the accounting of competences – from the total accounting of all competencies, accounting by their types – GC, GP and P, to arbitrary grouping them, up to the allocation of individual or even all competencies. The methodology is based on matrix mathematics, so increasing the dimension of the problem does not cause a change of the calculation algorithms.…”
