nice to see people planning early, never make mistakes like the slightly older generations where they should have gone to poly instead of jc to pursue certain careers in a particular industry...they wasted 2 years studying non-revelent subjects in jc, they could have spent 3 years in poly learning stuffs that are related to their future career

but yea run the risk of not able to enter local university if your gpa is poor or loses out to better academically achieved poly students

but if i'm not wrong, local universities do allocate a number of slots for poly students and since your like 3-4 years from graduating from poly, the poly slots might have expanded even more and you might have easier chance to get in

since you are already interested in tourism and quite a number of positive comments about TP tourism course, i guess TP or SP would be your final choice and do remember to take a good cca if you intend to enter a local university...anyway SP has those lame workshops where each session is 1.5hr and nets you 2 cca points! Good Deal!

i support poly bcoz JC very stressed up n besides they got alot of lectures after lectures...
but juz make sure u pass ur maths n science..coz they r reali very impt

It's called General Elective Modules. It's like extra learning and stuff. They do not earn you CCA points and is included in your GPA.

Well, I must say that poly isn't that relaxing. JC has lectures after lectures while poly students have projects after projects. (with shittified members) I also think it depends on what course you go into.

By the way, the cut off point for SP tourism management is around 10, and might be lower this year. To take a degree in events management, I heard that SP events staff is trying to sigh some contract with some Australia Uni, (or a America Uni, i cant remb) and that the person who has experienced organizing the Olympics will be teaching..Some famous event director...can't remb his name.

hmm nono...not GEMS haha...i used to login to the SAS system and sign up for those workshops...each last around 2hr i think...there's about 13 of them...total of 26 easy points lol

yea poly isn't relaxing...depending on which poly + which course...my course has quite a number of lectures and tons of projects...year 2 was quite packed...abit of time for cca only...year 3 was damm packed due to final year project and cca was non-existant haha...but there was still some breathing space for enjoyment and shopping and games in the lab and whatever you wanna do haha

but don't forget, some poly courses don't let you change your course when you go uni. for example, you take mass comm. in poly. there is only 1 uni with related course, and the cohort is small. if you can't get in, that is it. because for such courses, you don't have the basic requirement needed for other courses like engineering or chemistry major. going JC means keeping all options opened.

as for stress, i believe JC and poly are around the same, just that it is in a different medium. and lectures can be fun! chemistry lectures are entertaining and fun, in my opinion. many people say going JC = bookworm, plain memorising and studying, but that is misconception. nowadays A level papers are no longer that way. you need to learn and UNDERSTAND, and know how to APPLY. that is the fun part, imo. it is cool to know about bond interactions and chemical reactions, and how to apply them in our lives. and for bio students, you get to combine the two subjects together! for some topics, like enzymes. hahahaha. this is what i call play cheat (i always do that)

for JC, we have projects as well. the MAJOR project is PW. you have spend your entire first year doing it, and your PW grade will be calculated in your uni admission points. PW is a flexible subject, 'cos you can choose whatever topic you want to work on, as long as it is within the theme(s) given. and you get to spend time with your teammates, and know them better (for good or for worse, hehe). the rest of the projects are just...... talk-c*** and playing time, LOL. for example, sometimes, for economics, you have to do theory-into-practical projects. nothing much, easy-peasy.

I would go to JC if i'm planning to go to SMU. It'll be a lot easier. You should pick what course you want to do in Uni instead of picking it in Poly. There'll be more options. So go to JC!

dianagnes

im not an experience poly or jc student but i care to share..hehe.I think if you are really studious student and more into the academic;get your minds on JC.But i prefers you to get into Poly as its also allow you to get into Uni too..its not hard,just be steady on the study.Choose the right course for you and enjoy your poly life that is more flexible rather than Jc.Anyway,Im hoping to get into Poly next year..If God wills =)
