Interactive guidebook for WUT first-years
We know that the first days of being a student may be hard. Everything is new, different, unknown. To make it easier, we have prepared WUT Starter – an online guidebook which will help you get to know the Warsaw University of Technology better, learn about student rights and obligations, and our IT systems.
The course puts together the most useful and important information about the University in one place – without searching, visiting many websites, asking questions. What is crucial, the contents are prepared by University people (students and staff) who know the University very well and are experts in the fields they covered.
WUT Starter is divided into four modules. Each of them is presented in two forms: an interactive one (short scenes which will help you get into a given situation) and a descriptive one (e-books with information).
Module 1 includes general information about the Warsaw University of Technology, e.g., its structure, recurring events, student rights and obligations, halls of residence and extra-curricular activities for students. Campus maps may come in useful especially at the beginning.
Module 2 talks about the USOSweb platform. It is a collection of information how to check the timetable, register for courses, submit applications, complete surveys and where to check your credits history and financial settlements with the University.
Module 3 presents information about the LeON platform – what it is for, its interface, how to find materials and online courses there, as well as credit deadlines.
Module 4 is also about IT. It is a guidebook of Microsoft services and software. Thanks to it, everyone starting their studies at WUT will know how to get access to and use Microsoft applications, Azure services, one’s student mailbox or other engineering licences. It also gives you a hint which Microsoft applications are worth using during your studies at WUT.
WUT Starter is accessible to everyone who is starting their first-cycle or long-cycle studies at the Warsaw University of Technology.
The course can be found on the educational platform LeOn leon.pw.edu.pl. There you should go to My courses –> WUT Starter – Guidebook for first-years.
