Since March 17, 2020, HSE students and staff have been working and studying remotely. To survive this period with the least losses, and even with some gains, the HSE staff offers several recommendations for organising online delivery of knowledge.

The HSE Look presents a column by Blair Dunbar, Editor at HSE Expert Translation Centre

Kyle Marquardt is Assistant Professor at the School of Politics and Governance (Faculty of Social Sciences) and Research Fellow at the International Center for the Study of Institutions and Development, and tells HSE Look readers about his research, teaching and previous experience with HSE.

Vera Smirnova, Research Fellow at the Institute of Regional Studies and Urban Planning, Faculty of Urban and Regional Development, shared her research interests and experience of building strong connections at HSE with The HSE Look readers.

Last autumn HSE’s project ‘Teach for HSE’ commissioned an internal study by HSE Centre for Institutional Research. The study aimed to see a broad picture of how faculty members and students perceive benefits and challenges of teaching and studying in an international classroom.

In December 2017 The HSE Look took an interview with Dmitry Dagaev about the changes to the HSE Research Productivity Assessment, and one of the novelties was a shift from a manual check to an automated solution. Early this summer, the HSE community was surprised to learn about its newest colleague: a robot helper named Isaac tasked with recording and scoring the publications by researchers and faculty. Isaac is constantly learning to improve its algorithms and interface, and now that it’s learned English, we are happy to share with The HSE Look readers the exclusive interview with Isaac taken by Okna Rosta, where he talks about his functions and even offers some words of advice.
