Teaching Remotely

25 fevereiro 2021, 18:09 • Tânia Rute Xavier de Matos Pinto-Varela

These procedures aim to mitigate the impact that Corona Virus.  I expect the engagement of everyone, not only, following the teaching procedures, but also, the Social behavior already suggested by so many official entities.

 

The following procedures may be suffering some adjustment in the future, if necessary.

 

Procedures to attend remote lectures and its procedures:

·         The lectures start on the first of March.

·         The lectures are on-live, in the predefined timetable.  

·         The lectures follow the timetable and start on time (max 5 min later).

·         The link to attend the lecture is available on the webpage or/and sent by mail. 

·         To improve sound quality, the students must mute their audio, unless they are allowed to talk.

·         The lecture has breaking-point to clarify students' doubts.

 

·         To increase the teaching coordination and to help the students focus, the two  3 pm shifts

are delivered simultaneously, by only one professor.  

·         The subjects in the theoretical classes will be delivered slower than usual. However, we

suggest the use of paper and pencil, to follow the lesson explanation.  

·         We make available in advance in Fenix any digital support, to support exercise resolution, if necessary. Paper, pencil, computers are also required.

 

 

How can the students clarify theirs doubts about subjects?

·         The students can send an e-mail or if necessary, book a meeting call.

·         To book a meeting call is necessary to send an e-mail at least 48 h in advance.

·         The meeting call will be mainly at the timetable. However, some

flexibility can be arranged, based on each situation.

·         The meeting call follows the same procedures as remote lectures. 

 

What about Evaluation and Group Assignment?

·         The group enrolment will be done through Fenix.

·         The case studies will be done remotely, using the Zoom platform. 

·         When the time comes, more details will be delivered.

 

Seminars

Considering the new reality, I am managing the invited speaker and booking seminar dates. At this moment, I am not able to guarantee the invited speaker’s availability, nor the skills to do it, remotely. However, I will try my best.
