Dear Hebrew University Students,
Re: Exams Policy
The Hebrew University is preparing to hold exams at the end of the first semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, in a format that will ensure the health of students and members of the administrative and academic staff, while maintaining the integrity of the exams and providing students with numerical scores.
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to send you this update on various issues.
Greetings,
I am pleased to update regarding developments in a variety of areas. We welcome your comments and suggestions for improvement.
1. We extend warm congratulations to two colleagues on winning important awards: Prof. Rafi Meshulam, who celebrated his 90th birthday last week, won the Harvey Award from the Technion, for his outstanding achievements in cannabinoid research, which made a crucial scientific contribution to both basic and applied research.
Dear Faculty members,
Wishing us all a successful academic year. This is an opportunity to thank you for your great efforts in preparing for remote teaching, for your creativity and your commitment to excellence in teaching. The ongoing increase in the students’ reported satisfaction from studying at the Hebrew University, and the additional increase in the number of students (an increase of 12% in first year students) suggest that the students also appreciate your efforts.
Dear Hebrew University students,
We wish you an enjoyable academic year.

Dear students,
The 2020-2021 academic year will open on Sunday, October 18, 2020. In this letter, I wish to share with you our plans for the upcoming first semester.
Dear Colleagues,
1. Exams—logistical aspects. The Corona epidemic has posed considerable challenges for all of us, including in the field of instruction. So far, we have met the challenges successfully, thanks to the wonderful mobilization of all our senior and junior academic staff and our administrative staff. However, the main challenge still seems to be ahead of us—the administration of exams.
