In the video, prof. Sławomir Żółtek, Vice-Rector of the University of Warsaw for Students and Quality of Teaching, raised current issues concerning, inter alia, forms of teaching or activities that students may engage in despite the pandemic. The Vice-Rector also announced the November online meeting aimed mainly at this group of the academic community.
In the video, prof. Sławomir Żółtek, Vice-Rector for Students and Quality of Teaching, referred to the current epidemic situation as well as the sanitary regime and restrictions resulting from the inclusion of the entire country in the red zone. Their result is, among others, providing education in the extramural mode.
– According to the Rector’s request, all distance classes must be conducted in the form of video. I hope that the level of these classes will be high. I am counting on your active participation. Let’s do everything to make these classes – despite the remote form – a certain form of normality for you and the teachers if we are considering classes communication – emphasized prof. Żółtek.
Not only classes
The Vice-Rector of the University of Warsaw also drew attention to other aspects of studying. – The University of Warsaw is not only about classes. Studying is a wide process and by studying you should understand all activities at the University of Warsaw – said prof.

I would like to encourage you to take part in these things – he added.
