Dear Students,
As we all know, our country and all the countries of the world are going through a difficult time and perhaps when we look back years later, we will understand better what a difficult test humanity has gone through. In order to get through these troubled days with minimal damage, the measures taken by our government are of vital importance. Each individual has very important duties in the implementation of these measures. I would like to thank each of you individually for the mature attitude and cooperation you have shown in this matter.
Where all institutions, which ensure the execution of the social order, are affected, the education sector is also deeply affected in this process. For this purpose, YÖK has taken the decision to implement distance education for a certain period of time in order to continue education in universities. Although it is not known how long this process will continue, it is certain that it will be shortened by the implementation of strict measures. We have mobilized all our opportunities for the roadmap determined by YÖK to be sustainable. Our university tries to take all precautions and ensure the continuity of education against the Corona Virus Pandemic, which is experienced as a country.
For this purpose, theoretical lessons will be applied as synchronous and / or asynchronous education systems over distance education system. First of all, in the 2-week period up to the mid-term calendar, all our lecturers will add their voice recordings to the slides (ppt) of the lessons and explain each slide in detail, as in the classroom. These slides will be shared with you through STİX, the information sharing platform of our university. Again, the subjects you want to be repeated, the problems you have or the questions you have in mind will be continued by communicating mutually through STIX. Homework will be given from the information you have acquired during the first three weeks of education and distance education and your homework will be evaluated as midterm grade.
In this process, you will have no doubt that our faculty members will give you all the necessary support and will show the necessary sensitivity.
The last 7 weeks period will be reconsidered according to the developments and will be revised in the education process as needed and will be built with a student focus.
Despite all the troublesome processes, I believe and trust that we will overcome all difficulties as a nation. My request is that you, the most important part of education, to establish cooperation with us in harmony and to ensure its continuity. In addition, during this period, you should keep your motivation high, and follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and also, please do not leave your home unless necessary.
I wish you and your families healthy days.
Stay healthy and with love,
Doç. Dr. Mesut Karahan
Director of the Institute of Science
