According to the results of the ‘Questionnaire on Distance Education Practices in Universities During the Global Pandemic Period’, developed by the Council of Higher Education (YOK) in Spring 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our university ranked high in three categories. Also, the University Assessments and Research Laboratory (UniAr), an independent research laboratory, determined that COMU has been the second-best public university managing distance education during the pandemic.
COMU’s great success in distance education has been validated by our students as well who participated in about 600, 000 questionnaires on “course assessment and learning outcomes”, developed by our Quality Department for the 2019-2020 Spring Semester.
The degree of satisfaction has been assessed based on responses to questions below. The questionnaire results show that our students have been quite satisfied with our distance education practices and online education during the Coronavirus pandemic.
