From Poly to Uni

All the while i did not blog much since school start, becoz my mind always went blank infront of my com. To prevent this problem, i wrote my blog in my book today, and going to transfer it now...

"Recently, i feel that i'm glad that i took poly route instead of JC route (AGAIN). As many of you might know, my English sux, so i doubt i can clear my A level if JC was my choice. But recently, i found a even more meaningful reason to support this decision [poly not JC].

i saw many many ppl with no programing background struggling in SOC (most of them are from JC). Some had very very dark eye ring, some broke down, while some had spent every single time they had to do programming, and never study for other modules, nor have any other activities.

Having background really matters a lot, coz university pace is freaking fact and i even need to revise what is taught though everything (in programming area only) seem so simple. Pace is fast, if you are slow, no matter how much background you have, or how good you were previously, you will still fail. Can imagine how horrible it is for ppl with no background...

Another example of background, number systems and codes in CS1104. At first, i thought that almost everyone should find it simple as it is like maths. However, i found out from mayu that base/radic is not taught in Maths C, though maybe in F maths. I do not know if you need F maths to be in computing, but assume that ppl do not have either computing background or F maths knowledge, what a torture it could be. AT times, i start to wonder why my poly lecturers says that we will lose out to JC students when we go uni. If it is becoz of maths, i can tell you that NUS is very afraid that our maths sux, so they provide quite some mathematics revision for poly students. If it is about analytical and logical thinking, i think we have some of these skills and we still can improve on these skills in uni.

In conclusion, i really must thank NYP... haha... that's why i am writing a write-up for them about me in NYP and NUS for them to use it to promote to to-be-poly-student... "
