PW.
Thursday, October 18, 2007
read eng yian's most recent post on pw.i've to say, i agree with most of his points.
indeed, pw started off as a pretty good concept, but then...MOE just screwed it up.
i've been nice and haven't ranted much about pw, but really, i feel that it sucks.
in my opinion, u cannot compare jc and poly students. Poly students' curriculum are very project based, hence resulting in them being able to work in groups better. while jc students have projects as well, they are still more focused on exams. so u cant blame them for not being able to work in groups well. at least that's for most students. judging from what i hear from lye ee, poly life is really much different from jc life. So there really isn't a valid basis of comparison.
it's going to be over in 2 weeks time, so i guess i just have to bear with it...
and my sch's way of distributing resutls...it's just illogical. to think SOME tutors think that it is logical and makes COMPLETE sense. i really cannot imagine what chaos there will be on Monday, when they release results in the LT.
i don't see why the management has to take soo long to decide on the retainee list.
in the past, at least in the case of my sec sch, all results are keyed in by the respective subject teachers after the marking is done. the papers are then released almost immediately for checking in the hall by class, and teachers will also go through the papers. Any last changes of the marks are made, and students are made to sign against our final scores for verification as soon as the list is done. in the case of the graduating class, level meeting will be held and teachers will then deliberate about moderation of results (and in sec 3, retention, but this isn't a big prob then). the whole process takes about a week or so. this may not the perfect way, but at least it makes sense.
in my jc, it has been...at least 2 weeks since promos are over, and yet results aren't released. they claim that they are now finalizing the retainee list (before we students know our results)...it's just weird. i know retaining students is a big thing, but why can't we get to know our results first? i don't see why other jcs can do this but not mine.
at least some tutors aren't happy with this...not like my ct...
well. expect chaos on monday.
sidetracking abit...my personal life is in a complete mess.
family prob, personal prob...relationship prob...
sigh.
when will things take a turn for the better?
when will i recover?
time will heal everything, they say. let's hope this is the case.
