The module handbooks changed due to the virtual summer semester are published today on the WiSo website. FAU has published a statute regarding deviations from study regulations, examinations, doctoral and habilitation study regulations due to the Corona virus SARS-CoV-2.
Are you looking for learning strategies, time management for your student home office and advice against procrastination? You will find suggestions for efficient planning and arrangement of the virtual summer term on our #WiSoVirtuell blog. The school of business, economics and society is happy to support its students during the virtual term.
At #WiSo.Zusammenhalt.Unternehmen, you will be working with a partner from civil society, the municipality, or local small and medium sized firms. Simultaneously, you will enhance your professional competence. For example, you could volunteer at Tafel Deutschland e.V. and explore their management structures at the same time.
Unfortunately, we are not able to make a statement how the current situation will affect the exams of your courses at the end of the summer term at this point in time. Kindly note that the module handbook, which will be published on 18.05.2020, will contain information on the nature of changes regarding your examinations.
The first day of the summer term already lies behind us. Hopefully, you have all started off well, you have visited your first lectures and tried some of the digital tools. Maybe there have been some minor problems, such as gaining access to StudOn. However, FAU has already taken measures to reduce these difficulties, such as enhancing server capacities.
This semester is unprecedented in over 100 years of our faculty’s history. We want to enable you to successfully complete your semester despite flattening-the-curve. This is why we have analyzed all scheduled modules regarding the possibility to transfer them into a digital environment – and a very large share will be offered virtually.
