Box 2.3. Recommendations and comments by students on how to improve study resources

- To send informative emails – the university should provide sufficient information. - Some teachers did not want to provide materials such as pdf or ppt presentations. - In the first semester, the university provided an online library access via VPN, but cancelled it. A virtual library was a big advantage during the exam. Students could not access online resources and did not know how it works at the moment/ It wasn't quite easy to get these materials. - Students had to do everything themselves and especially foreign literature/in some subjects the teachers provided prefabricated books, but in most clasees students had to find the resources themselves. - Teachers provided more resources for study than in onsite teaching./The literature needed was not always available, as there was nowhere to buy it/Apart from presentations, instructors did not provide many resources./Some teachers, apparently demotivated from this form of teaching, provided only half of the information and resources, or provided them very late, the effort is required from the students, but it should also be from all teachers, but some were great. - Overall, the EUBA does not sufficiently help guiding students. - Office 365 is available, but not everyone has enough connectivity, and then it can be a problem to connect to class. - The university has not provided sufficient and clear information regarding studies for a long time. - More resources would be useful for writing bachelor thesis, from which students could obtain information. - It was chaos at first and students had to learn themselves./They had to learn to work in a team themselves.
