Attila Géczy, Olivér Krammer, László Sujbert · 2020
2020 presented unprecedented challenges in the higher education system. The first wave and the still-lasting COVID-19 pandemic brought the need for a new mindset, both from educators-teachers and students around the world. In this paper, we focus on our country Hungary and present the general feedback on distance education at Budapest University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and Informatics from the viewpoint of teachers. After a survey within the course coordinators at the faculty, we present the general results and the lessons learned from the obtained data. The feedback form questions focused on the aspect of knowledge transfer and the examination methodologies at the faculty. The results and the responses give an overall outlook on the success of the transitional semester and might offer directions for future problem-solving in remote education.
