Course Policies

a. The official virtual classroom is VSU E-Learning Portal (https://elearning.vsu.edu.ph ). A

class orientation will be done to the use and navigation of the platform.

b. ZOOM or Google Meet will be used for web-conferencing and real-time class meetings.
Username and password link will be posted in VSU E-Learning Portal.

Attending the virtual meeting is high - encouraged but not compulsory. If you cannot attend
due to internet connection limitations, there is no problem. Just keep up with the lessons
and do all the necessary exercises that are required of you.

The virtual meeting is our avenue for synchronous learning. Class interaction and
participation are encouraged, sharing of ideas, feed backing of your outputs, and other
related concerns in the subject will be done during this time.

c. All requirements will be submitted preferably through the VSU E-Learning Portal/email. But
if the internet connection is not stable or you do not have an internet connection, you may
send your exercises to the office through a courier.

d. The office address is DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, COLLEGE OF

ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte,
Philippines.

e. The Learning Guide / Instructional Workbook / Laboratory Manual in MEng 111 will be our
official instructional material in this subject. It will serve as your guide for the whole
semester. Whether you have an internet connection or not, use it.

f. In the submission of exercises, there is no deduction for late submissions provided that the
materials will be submitted within the semester.

g. Module Assessment will serve as our term examinations. It will be done in either of the
following:

1) With internet connection: VSU E-Learning Portal or through email

2) Without/not stable internet connection: Examination questionnaire will be given during
the schedule of examination through email or to be sent through a courier but students
will be paying for the delivery charge and other fees. Answers can be sent through a
courier.

h. If you have any inquiries/clarifications, you may contact the course instructor during the
official class schedule; Monday to Friday only.

i. University policies are strictly followed. Please be guided accordingly.

j. Lastly, as we embark on this “new normal”. Let us have an open mind and heart as we
adjust in this new way of delivering the teaching-learning process and continue to aim for
quality in education.
