We invite you to invest some of your time and take part in a survey about remote studies and the organisation of online examinations.
We ask all students to take some time to fill out a questionnaire about remote studies at RSU! The results will provide information on:
- how study courses are currently being organised remotely;
- what is still needed to improve cooperation.
