Dear colleagues,
I am addressing you with the measures we are to follow in the next two weeks. These are measures similar to those in force at the beginning of the summer semester; you will find them attached to this email. As in the spring, I now turn to academics: please communicate with students, provide them with study materials and other materials. However, I am aware that the situation is different now and that we are better prepared for the current situation than in the previous semester.
All the more so, remember that information about distance learning should be traceable. The information therefore must be specified for each course in the SIS under the item Descriptors. Not only the platform where the teaching takes place will be noted, but also references and links to the online sessions already effectuated.
I appeal to students: please pay maximum attention to your studies, solely distance forms of education bring different possibilities, but as well as the diverse problems than those we usually face.
Thank you all for your responsible approach and I wish you to cope with as little potential difficulties as possible and manage all the activities in healthy.
Yours sincerely
Michal Nedělka
