Enverga University, in its aim to respond to the needs and welfare of its employees and students, has decided to implement a break, effective on September 30 – October 1 (college) and October 2 – 3 (NSTP and Graduate School). However, this act of compassion has now been marred as reports of academic work given within said time period began to surface.
Regarding the issue, some students (who asked to be kept anonymous) gave testimonies about what has happened.
One has shared that assignments were given, but there were no LMS dropboxes created; they are to do the tasks the week following the break, with the week to follow as the due date. But there’s one where they had to do an assignment – “Yung isang subject namin ay mapipilitan talaga gumawa ng assignment kasi ang due ay bukas na tsaka exam din sa kanya bukas.”
Another was startled, for there were activities given on the 27th and 28th of September with deadlines set for October 4 and 5 – “Nagulat po, dahil ang alam po namin ay hindi magbibigay ng activities ang mga prof dahil mental health break pero nagbigay pa din po ng activities at need na ipasa din next week.”
In the end, the activities/assignments given have borderline crossed the break. The deadlines, which were only a few days away, have forced some students to do the activities on the days intended for rest.
The mental health break has turned out for some students to be one that’s only for the university’s employees.
