Need helps with course titles

[Paul B. Gallagher]

Dear SEELANGers,

I'm translating a fairly straightforward grade transcript for a student
who majored in semiconductors and dielectrics (полупроводники и
диэлектрики), and I come to the following course titles, which have me
stumped. Suggestions welcomed, public or private...

Курсовая по спец. курсу (отлично)
Term Paper in Special Course??
Term Paper for Course in Major??

and

Учебно-ознакомительный практикум (зачет)
Is this some kind of student teaching? Кто ознакомляет кого с чем?

Most of the courses are preprinted on the form, but the last few are
typed in manually. These two are preprinted, so they must be fairly
standard. Institution is Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys (МИСиС),
time frame is late 1980s.

TIA
