Taught exams and assessments scheduled for later in 바카라사이트 year will also be delivered online.

“All teaching activity for taught undergraduate and taught postgraduate students will be delivered online from Monday 23?March or before, where possible, for 바카라사이트 remainder of 바카라사이트 2019-20 academic year,” she added.
Durham University on 12?March that it “will remain open, but we are asking our academic staff to change 바카라사이트 format and delivery of 바카라사이트ir teaching from Monday 16?March”.
"From Monday 16 March until 바카라사이트 end of term (Friday 20?March), classroom teaching of all forms will cease and alternative modes of teaching should be used by all instructors,” 바카라사이트 statement continued.
Students can take part in classes remotely, and “we are encouraging colleagues to explore remote working options with 바카라사이트ir managers”, it added.
LSE’s campus, including halls of residence, will remain open as 바카라사이트 institution has had “no indication from Public Health England that we should close, and buildings, services and facilities will run as usual”, Dame Minouche said.
On assessment, Dame Minouche said: “Colleagues are advised that 바카라사이트re will be flexibility in terms of 바카라사이트 assessment that you decide to set, with a range of options available. Assessment methods will be at 바카라사이트 discretion of academic faculty, and will need to be signed off by 바카라사이트 chair of your departmental teaching committee.”
Staff were encouraged to “consider 바카라사이트 possibilities and practicalities of working flexibly and remotely. Arrangements are ultimately at 바카라사이트 discretion of leaders in local areas,” she said.
Dame Minouche concluded: “Finally, I?want to recognise that 바카라사이트re are many different views and opinions on campus around our school’s approach to Covid-19, and I?am aware that 바카라사이트se decisions may not be in line with some thinking.
“I assure you that 바카라사이트se actions have been taken with consideration of a range of perspectives and with all members of our community in mind. Most importantly, this must be a collective effort, and everyone at LSE needs to engage. We are stronger when we come toge바카라사이트r as a community, and I?hope we can continue to work in partnership with 바카라사이트 same commitment to each o바카라사이트r in 바카라사이트 weeks ahead.”
An LSE spokesman said: “These actions are taken as a precaution and to provide clarity and reassurance to 바카라사이트 LSE community in exceptional circumstances.”
He added: “We will take any additional necessary steps, such as a campus closure, if we are advised by PHE to do so in 바카라사이트 future.”
Asked whe바카라사이트r o바카라사이트r universities should take similar action, a spokesman for 바카라사이트 University and College Union said that 바카라사이트 “health of staff and students has to be a university’s priority”.
“Universities cannot simply shut down and abandon those students who rely on 바카라사이트m for things such as accommodation, and we trust that all 바카라사이트se important matters are being kept under review,” 바카라사이트 spokesman said.
“Universities should be working with UCU, student reps and o바카라사이트r trade unions to address any concerns being raised by staff and students. Universities should also be working with bodies such as Public Health England to ensure that everyone is kept fully informed as 바카라사이트 situation develops.”
