Online engineering classes at Cuesta consist of variety of learning methods to give the students the best chance to be successful.

• Students will watch prerecorded videos.  Here is an example:  https://www.class4me.com/lecture20639/vbs5nszc7ek/Statics_04-12.htmlLinks to an external site.
• Office hours are conducted face to face.  For those who don't live in the area, or prefer not to come to the campus, they can post questions online.  In most cases the questions are answered within 24 hours or less.
• There are normally several student tutors that are available for help (face to face).
• Students will be guided at each step of the way to insure the content is mastered:
  • After watching the videos, the students will be given a simple online multiple choice quiz to verify they have a basic knowledge of what they just watched. https://www.class4me.com/coursedata/statics/BCquizzes/questions/chapter4/4-1-1/BCQuiz4-1-1-11-906.pdfLinks to an external site.

• Depending on the class, students will take 2 to 4 exams through-out the term at the San luis Obispo campus, or if they don't live near the school they can arrange to have their exam proctored at a location near them.
• Exams are given at Cuesta's main campus or they can be proctored at a facility near you.
