Polytechnics in Singapore

I realized that the five polytechnics in Singapore have been emphasising quite a lot on character development.

If you factor in the only core modules, I think it'll take you around 2 years to complete the diploma.

What's your say?

Agenda SG

because even after orientation, some people still remain introvert.. which is why the character development will make them more confident people for the working society as they will most likely advance into the working environment immediately after obtaining their diploma

why nt just say this,

if polytechincs could just cut their holidays shorter den i think within 2.5 or even 2 years, students can complete their diploma already.

Darkness_hacker99 SG

Yea. Shorter the holiday, in return students can get their diploma earlier.

hiphop2009 SG

agreed.

compare to JC sec sch and pri sch, poly hav longer holidays, which i think is redundant~

sbst275 SG

Dun forget… Ppl have to use holiday to complete their projects

hiphop2009 SG

but sometimes i still think is way too long liao. 7 weeks after each semester. 5 weeks probably would be nice~

and one week break after each term would be gd enough liao.

sbst275 SG

When you do your project, I think you would rant that holiday also not enough Laughing

Actually with good time management, projects can be done is a very short time.

Those you see out there delaying the projects for months and months are the results of poor time management. Smile

No comments abt time mgmt because it all depends on the nature of your project Wink

Character development in Polytechnic? I don't remember getting any.... Confused

stellazio SG

Nah, the modules doesn't take up much time.

I think you're referring to those mostly non examinable and modules totally not related to your course of studies right?

Taking 2 each sem is nth much really. And its quite fun some of the courses that you get to choose.

Even if you took it all out, i think you can only save on 1 semester.

I heard RP the best. Do these kind of modules for their 1st year.
