Such a solution will facilitate grouping theoretical and practical classes in blocks. Through two or three days of each week we will group classes whose realization can be easily moved from stationary to hybrid or remote mode, namely lectures and practicals. 

The remaining days of the weekly schedule will be dedicated to practical classes such as laboratory exercises, projects and seminars which often require technical assets of the faculty and as such cannot be realized in a remote mode if high quality of education is to be maintained. 

Classes realization forms - moving from stationary to hybrid or remote mode - are subject to change due to dynamically developing epidemiological sitation in the country and due to possible modifications of the guidelines regarding the organization of the education issued by the ministry or rector's office.
