For JC Students: Unsure of how to choose your subject combi?

eagle SG

Hello, this compilation is for JC1 2013 students.

In early 2012, I have given a seminar on how JC1 students should choose their subject combination. In essence, plan from what you want to work, to what you want to study in university, to JC subject combinations.

Why?

I have had students who chose subject combinations based on what their friends or parents or teachers say. In the end, after A levels, they realised they could not get into the university course of their choice because they did not take the right subject combination!

This year, instead of having a seminar, I have decided to recompile all my slides into a printable pdf.

I'm unable to link it, so I shall include a link to my webpage for direct download

Hopefully, it will help students and make students think deeper about their future when considering their subject combination.

Yo Eagle,

Google Docs server returned the following message :

500. That’s an error.

There was an error. Please try again later. That’s all we know.

Isn't it possible for you to upload your pdf file onto your Eton tuition website? That way, students may additionally notice the Eton server url they're downloading the file from, which further strengthens the link, and possibly help to boost Eton's profile.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Somehow SgForums is unable to do a link to the direct download. Thus I have included a link to the Eton Tuition website for a direct download.

Unfortunately, I still get an error message when I try to download from here :

Not sure if it's due to the IE8 browser I'm using.

But why not take that pdf file and upload it (via File Transfer Protocol) to the same server as the Eton website (ie. instead of GoogleDocs server)?

Hi UltimaOnline,

it is likely due to the IE8 browser you are using. The Eton website does not have a server for uploading such files.

I will need to find another host to upload the pdf. However, you could also use google chrome or firefox browser to access it at the moment.

I cleaned it. It's outdated :)

This is the newer one. However, the link does not work with IE8 and above.

Interesting info. I guess that the crucial factor is one about your being interested in the topic.
