They also hands on lah. You think OCS cadets easy life ah? Unless you trying to compare CSM with the 2LT ..

dcx SG

Looks like you're taking the lead to WW IV??? Laughing

Icemoon SG

proven track record.

isn't this the same for finding a job? If you have job experience doing something related, more chance to hire you.

I think we can safely say almost all the PSC scholars never fail the expectation.

Icemoon SG

I'm in one of those you listed, btw. Laughing

The truth is:

1. I can score better in uni than JC.
2. It is easier to write essay in uni than for GP.
3. there are more avenues to learn in uni than JC.
4. uni more comfortable 'cos everywhere also air con.
5. I don't have to wake up 6am everyday just to sing marikita.

dcx SG

Proven track record? From where is the source?

Any proven track record showing that a scholarship given to a poly student n he flunked it? Laughing

stellazio SG

my fren from nyp once had a tuesday of 7-7..i couldn't help but laugh.. Laughing

Icemoon SG

your academic ability lor. if you're a straight As student, then you have better chance than someone who may be intelligent but too lazy.

dcx SG

now so siong already? 7am starts lecture? Who the h3ll will attend lecture at 7am..... Laughing

dcx SG

Laughing

stellazio SG

if its lecture still can skip..but if its a tutorial..wah...yar la i see liao bth keep laughing..

Icemoon SG

yah .. after all a scholarship is about studying, first and foremost. Wink

I still say the same thing - a scholar still need to find a car mechanic if his car broke down. Laughing

dcx SG

Yealor...if kenna tutorial or lab....f big time liao.... Laughing

Sekali 7am is tutorial, 7pm is lab.....TLP...

dcx SG

Got car mechanics that are scholars also hor....... Laughing

Just because it applies to you doesn't mean it applies to everyone else. Not everyone in NUS, NTU, SMU and SIM are the same as Icemoon.

Those points you made are normative and based on your own opinions. Just because you can score better in uni doesn't mean everyone feels the same way. Just because you find it easier to write essays in uni doesn't mean that there isn't anyone who finds it harder.

And for your information, the name of Singapore's National Anthem is 'Majulah Singapura', not 'marikita'. If you want to sound credible, then the least you could do is get your facts right.

Icemoon SG

ok lor .. I have yet to find a student who aced his/her GP and flunked his/her essays in uni. Laughing

And who aced his/her S papers in JC and can't tahan the modules in Uni.

DriftingGuy SG

Again that depends on so many other things

1. A student may find it easier to score better because
(a) The JC he comes from is one the best. He finds relatively less competition here because he now competes with people from JCs that are not the "best".. again generalizing here but bear with me.
(b) He works even harder than he did in JC. Or he now has better time management than he had during his JC years.

Anyway score better doesnt mean more slack. So many other factors that must be considered as well Laughing

2. I dont know about you but I have friends who got A1 A2 for G.P essays come to uni and realise with a shock that they can only get a B for all the arts gem module essays they write.

The essays in Uni are more focussed on analytical skills and application of topics learnt so for those who are not too strong in those, its very very siong for them. This is especially so for certain arts essays which are available in level 3- level 4 cross-fac modules

3. Avenues of study? If you live in hostel then congrats. But lately there are fewer and fewer places to study. Maybe this is so 3 years ago. Take the central library for example. It was deserted during my 1st year. 3 years later, I cant even find a table to sit down at.. let alone study in the study room. The faculty itself has limited tables with access points and are dominated by whoever gets there first. This applies to classrooms, lecture halls as well

4. And the places with air-con are occupied to the max because they are so sought after. Not everywhere is air-con like parco bugis junction la. Laughing If you are referring to classrooms and lecture halls please look at point 3.

5. I dont have to wake up at 6 a.m for marikita but I have to wake up at 5.45 am because I have an important tutorial/lecture/class test on that day. Also I have an 8 to 8 class schedule during my 1st 2 years. 8 to 8 means i have to wake up at 6 am if I dont live in a hostel and live in the N.E or East. Again, this is dependant on where you live and which uni you go to. If its NTU, its 10 times even worse Laughing

stellazio SG

it is terribly difficult to fail..harder den to pass.. Laughing

DriftingGuy SG

I have many friends who aced their G.P essays in JC and were forced to declare S/U for some of the arts gems they took.. because they were consistently getting a C+ for it... It depends on the individual, not everyone is like Icemoon Wink

Icemoon SG

haiz .. this time I'm guilty of generalizing. Embarassed

hmm .. my GP was a C in JC leh .. so I found a rather big discrepancy when I come uni .. haha

anyway it got to do with taking the correct modules also.

Icemoon SG

point a is invalid 'cos I'm using the A levels as a benchmark. I'm one of those who get a C .. which some of you think poly students also can get. Laughing
point b is a bit weird 'cos how do you even study for GP?

The essays in Uni are more focussed on analytical skills and application of topics learnt so for those who are not too strong in those, its very very siong for them. This is especially so for certain arts essays which are available in level 3- level 4 cross-fac modules

isn't GP also about analytical skill also? I think the standard for GP is higher.

3. Avenues of study? If you live in hostel then congrats. But lately there are fewer and fewer places to study. Maybe this is so 3 years ago. Take the central library for example.

well I was actually talking about seeking help compared to JC. In JC the most you seek help from your classmates and tutor. In uni now, you have ivle, consultation with lecturer AND tutor and more informed seniors.

4. And the places with air-con are occupied to the max because they are so sought after. Not everywhere is air-con like parco bugis junction la. Laughing If you are referring to classrooms and lecture halls please look at point 3.

better than JC right? most classrooms no aircons. Only LT and library got aircon.

5. I dont have to wake up at 6 a.m for marikita but I have to wake up at 5.45 am because I have an important tutorial/lecture/class test on that day.

Again, this is dependant on where you live and which uni you go to. If its NTU, its 10 times even worse Laughing

agreed. NTU is much worse than NUS. Laughing
