Digitalization of the course “Chemistry of polymers” for bachelor’s degree students in the period of war

Abstract

The period of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a total process of digitalization of the study process at all levels. One of the difficult tasks was to ensure full-fledged education in such conditions for students of natural sciences, in particular chemists. The experience gained by Ukrainian universities during that period was used after the start of a full-scale war, which was unleashed by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022. But compared to the period of the pandemic, training during the war has several features that complicate the process of knowledge transfer. The main goal of this work was to show the main approaches that were used to organize the educational process of undergraduate students (specialty “Chemistry”) at Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University (Vinnytsia, Ukraine) during the war in the country.
