Dear Surreptitiousartificer,
I understand that you wish to transfer to JC. With your current
GCE O Level results, you will not be able to get into any JC
because of your grades and CLB.
May I asked if you have registered for the GCE 2012 examination?
If yes, I hope you included CL2 during the registration. Without a
CL2, you will not be able to get into JC. If you have CLB, the
maximum you can go is MI, the only institution that provides 3
year A level course.
Firstly, you are quite different from the others. Your mindset
and mentality towards schoolwork and education makes you an
execellent learner. You may feel that "why a Banking and Finance
students is learning about making webpage", this one I can explain
to you. This is call holistic multidiscipline learning. You learn a
subject, and at the same time, the syllabus is designed to infuse,
for this case, IT components to your learning. It's a value-added
learning; you learn the core fundamental knowledge of your courses,
and at the same time, you're expose to a healthy dose of other
modules making learning fun. This will broaden your
understanding for other aspect of learning.
I used to study Biomedical Science at Republic Polytechnic
till the final year before I dropped out for some reasons. I
know it's stupid. After that, I took a year off from studying
to self-learn IT. It's a great process for me
because I learned many things that I am not able to learn in
school like making iOS apps and learning databases and creating
websites. No, please do not misunderstanding me. I love
Biology, but I also like to try out new field of
study to learn new things. Share with you a little
about my dream. I have always wanted to infuse education and
IT together.
You're an excellent writer.
The stuffs that you have described about your school project is
very common issues. What I would say is "Great, you have
differenciated yourself from other students". When the examination
comes, ultimately, you are the one scoring higher grades. For the
student who engaged lesser in the project, wish them good luck for
their results. Ultimately, you're the winner of the day;
you learn more new things, you understand your work
better, you're a good learning.
As far as I know, the grading components of the projects in NYP
are based on the quality of work, individual presentations and
reports, and etc. Different projects have different grading
requirements, so as long as you put in your 100%, you will get the
grades at the end of the day. Do let your lecture know what you're
experiencing, as this will let the lecturer allocate grades on a
fairer basis.
Best regards,
Chin Seng
P.S. I am just wondering if the North Canteen Prata shop is
still there?
