An Open Letter to QMES
尊敬的各位老师、各位同事，亲爱的同学们：
DearTeachers, Colleagues and Students:
大家好！
Hope this letter finds you all well!
如大家所知，从今年1 月开始，在中国和多个国家相继出现了新型冠
状肺炎这一紧急公共卫生事件，从2020 年1 月30 开始，世界卫生组织宣
布构成国际关注的突发公共卫生事件（PHEIC），2 月29 日，将COVID-19
冠状病毒的风险评估提升到“全球范围内非常高的水平”。在国家和陕西省
的统一安排部署下，西北工业大学决定自2 月24 日开始，在抗“疫”特殊时
期在线开展教学活动，实现“停课不停教、停课不停学”。
It’s well-known that an outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia
epidemic took place in China and many other countries successively since
January. On 30thJanuary 2020, The World Health Organization declared it a
public health emergency of international concern and further raised the risk
presented by COVID-19 to the public in the world to be very high on 29th
February. In accordance with the unified deployment of national and Shaanxi
provincial governments, since 24th February, NPU decided to deliver distance
online teaching and learning (T&L) during the epidemic, which could obstruct
returning to campus but can’t stop T&L.
在西北工业大学、伦敦玛丽女王大学统一安排部署下，作为中外合作
办学机构，玛丽女王工程学院严格落实“停课不停教、停课不停学”原则，
按照原有教学计划开展线上教学工作。学院管理团队在前期工作部署、在
线教学准备、授课质量保障方面做了大量工作，制定了周密的工作方案（详
见附件），有效地提升了线上教学实效。自2 月24 日以来，教师积极利用
在线教学手段，努力提升线上教学水平和学生学习体验；特别是英方团队，
克服时差问题，重排课表，在伦敦经常6、7 点钟早起授课，做出了非凡的
努力。目前各门在线课程运行平稳、顺利，获得师生的较好评价。
As the Joint Education Institute presented by both universities’
arrangement, QMES adopted distance online teaching and learning based on the
scheduled semester weeks. The school’s administration team made a
comprehensive preparation to support the online T&L effect (as attached). Since
February 24th, all teachers have made full use of online teaching approaches to
improve teaching quality and learning experience. Queen Mary teachers, in
particular, have made extraordinary efforts and overcome the inconveniences
such as the time difference as well as the timetable rearrangement. They had to
get up as early as 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. in London to deliver courses. Currently, the
online T&L is running smoothly and has received positive feedback from
teachers and students.
在此，我们谨代表西北工业大学、伦敦玛丽女王大学，代表QMES 联
合管理委员会，向中英团队、各位老师和同学表示衷心的问候，感谢老师
们的辛勤付出，感谢同学们的理解和支持！也希望学院在充分保证线上教
学平稳运行的同时，进一步对学生在线学习情况精准分析，及时总结推广
在线教学先进经验，积极发挥辐射带动作用，将 “教学不断线、质量不放
松”落到实处。
Hereby, on behalf of NPU, Queen Mary and Joint Administrative
Committee of QMES, we would like to extend our cordial greetings to all the
faculty and students and express our sincere appreciation to teachers’
contributions and students’ understanding! Meanwhile, we expect QMES will
promote the constructive online teaching experience and take a demonstrative
role by ensuring the smooth online T&L delivery and tracking students’
learning outcomes to maintain the high-quality T&L.
一场春雨，异常温暖；一片嫩叶，一份希望。在大家的共同努力下，
陕西省、西安市已连续10 天没有新增病例，复工复产等各项工作正在有序
进行。我们相信，学院开学工作也在学校的同步考虑和安排中。
Shoots bursting through the soil are the messengers of the warm spring,
telling us that hope is coming soon. With joint effort, no new cases have been
confirmed in Xi’an for 10 consecutive days. Everything is gradually going back
on track. We believe that the university reopening is also under consideration
and preparation.
让我们跨越山川阻隔，中英携手，扎实做好线上教学工作，相信我们
再次相聚指日可待！
Let us keep close collaboration to make the online T&L more successful. A
thousand miles can’t stop us from reunion soon!
