The study involved 2,820 students in Bachelor`s and Master`s degree of all professional fields. The results are similar to the results of the first survey - the average grade for the first online semester at the UNWE is 5.54 (by the a scale of 1 to 7).

During the online semester, the ability of lecturers to teach and students to learn was put to an unusual test. We managed successfully, now it is important to evaluate the achievements and go forward with more experience and confidence.

The online learning went smoothly and without any problems although it was organized in a very short time. UNWE managed to react on time to the emergency situation, to organize the learning process and motivate lecturers and students to particpate actively in the online learning. The support to all those who needed help in using the platform was provided, but the lecturers themselves took the initiative in incorporating teaching methods that are new for them as well as in solving problems.

It is the second survey on quality of online learning at UNWE during CoVID-19 through the eyes of students. We analyzed the results of the first online survey in the third week of our online semester. The questionnaire in this survey included indicators for studying the quality of online learning in two areas: objective - educational process, and subjective - students' perceptions (emotional and rational).
