Implementation and methods of teaching
Contact lectures, assignments, e-learning, exams.
The teaching mode will be both contact lessons and online.
Due to the 50% occupancy arrangements in teaching facilities, all students may not be able to find a seat in class. Students will also have a chance to follow the class online. This means that lectures on campus will either be streamed live or recorded for later viewing.
Students are responsible for making sure that 50% occupancy is not exceeded. In other words, if all available seats have been taken before the class starts, those left without a seat must leave the classroom. Online lectures are held via Zoom according to schedule.
