Summary
Higher education institutions of the Russian Federation use a score-rating system to assess the quality of students' achievements within academic disciplines. In a normative way, a score-rating system was formed in the early 1930s, and later by the 1960s the authorities started to implement it gradually. The study conducted at Astrakhan Technical University of the Fishing Industry and later named "Astrakhan" showed that in the current education system according to the evaluation of exams and tests on the examination passing date, as well as the results of qualitative or non-qualitative responses to teachers' questions the majority of students learn, memorize or learn by heart, and forget after a while all the studied.
