Quite big part of the students responded that their opinion is neutral in almost all the questions. It might be that the questions were not clear for them. Also, in some question there was more than one or two students who disagreed or strongly disagreed with the proposition.
What were the most important experiences during the week? Distribution of students’ responses for all blended mobility weeks
