HEJ TO ALL STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY WEST!


What a good start to the semester we had- despite the slightly different situation. It's very fun to see students on campus again!

We would still like to remind you to follow the Swedish Public Health Agency's recommendations. Stay home if you are ill, even in case of mild symptoms. If we all together take personal responsibility for minimizing the spread of Covid-19, we will be able to conduct teaching on campus this autumn.

THOUGHTS FROM A STUDENT AROUND THE DIFFERENT SITUATION

We asked some short questions to Ronja Palm who is studying to be a teacher in English and Swedish and who has just started her third year at University West.

How has the first time been in the "mixed format"? The first time with distance education, especially in the spring, was obviously a change and my own responsibility became more important but the teachers gave us a lot of material to work with around our tasks such as extra video reviews and articles that helped a lot in addition to the lectures via zoom. The teachers have been close at hand and acted quickly on questions via email, as an extra support.

What has been the biggest challenge? The biggest challenge has been the lack of the spontaneous meeting that takes place between us students and teachers, discussions that arise during lectures and the conversations between different parts of the classroom. The social part quite simply.

Have there been any positive things? The positive thing about the whole situation is that I studied more now than before the teaching was moved online. My own responsibility has increased and I come more prepared to the lecture, which serves as an opportunity to highlight things you have thought about with both the lecturer and the classmates.

WHAT APPLIES TO EXAMINATION

According to Vice-Chancellors policy decision for the autumn, examinations must mainly be conducted at a distance. Prioritized on campus are the examinations that are not possible or unsuitable to conduct at a distance.
