NEU will be offering an alternating hybrid educational model in 2020-21 Fall Term, where face-to-face education will be supported by digitally enhanced education. In this model, the following guidelines will be followed:

1. All courses to be offered in the 2020-21 Fall term will be opened on UZEBIM platform and all materials for all courses will be shared with students through this platform.
2. Based on the materials shared through UZEBİM, for those students who can attend courses on campus, face-to-face education will be conducted in large classrooms with a small number of students and by taking all the necessary precautions. For students who cannot attend face-to-face classes, digitally enhanced educational opportunities will be offered by covering the content through recordings of face-to-face classrooms, which will be uploaded onto the course pages, or through live online classes.
3. The design of the courses that require students to attend internships/workshops/laboratories will be supported with digital platforms in accordance with the course content. For those who can attend the courses face-to-face, all necessary health-related precautions will be taken and students will be divided into smaller groups during course work. For those who cannot attend the courses face-to-face, the UZEBIM platform will be employed to offer simulations/virtual reality applications to support and cover for the internship/workshop/laboratory work.
4. Based on the course content, all evaluation and assessment procedures will be conducted digitally via the UZEBIM platform (or via other platforms that will be chosen by the lecturers) using various process-oriented evaluation tools and online exams.

In these unprecedented times, as Near East University, we are getting prepared and doing everything in our power to reduce any possible loss to the educational experiences of our students. Our priority is to make sure that our students have access to quality education at all times. In this respect, we may make further amendments/take further precautions depending on the course of the pandemic.
