All classes and activities are conducted entirely online, with no need to attend campus. This model is ideal for students who seek full flexibility in managing their time and want to study from anywhere, at their own pace.

The learning process within this model is based on three key components, providing students with structured support and autonomy:

Live online consultations
  • Up to 8 hours per course
  • Delivered via MS Teams (live + recorded)
  • Held on weekdays from 17:00 to 22:00
  • Active participation encouraged

Consultations are held twice a week (e.g. Monday + Wednesday). Students can ask questions, join discussions, and work in virtual groups. Recordings are available for those who cannot attend live. However, active participation is strongly recommended, as it enhances understanding and academic success.

To receive course credit and exam eligibility, students must attend at least 75% of the live online consultations available for the course.

Live online exercises
  • Up to 20 hours per course
  • Focus on practical applications
  • Delivered via MS Teams + recordings
  • Minimum attendance: 40%

Exercises are held twice a week according to a set schedule. They allow students to apply knowledge, collaborate, and discuss topics interactively.

To receive course credit and exam eligibility, students must attend at least 40% of the live online exercises available for the course.

Independent online activities
  • Video lessons, e-books, quizzes, assignments
  • Complete flexibility
  • Weekly tasks are due every Sunday by 23:59

These activities prepare students for consultations and exercises and allow them to collect points through weekly assignments.

Important

Evaluation

All knowledge tests (exams, projects, assignments, etc.) in online studies are conducted online, that is, they are taken from home.

  • The implementation of online exams is organized through two systems currently used at Algebra Bernays University:

  • Exams are written at pre-arranged times that are visible in the personalized student schedule.
  • To take the exam, students need a computer with a camera and microphone and a mobile phone with a camera and microphone.
