JC versus Poly
-
In a Straits times article today, it says that more students are opting for Poly instead of JC.
Stating reasons like the revised A-levels are too tough and Poly have better job prospects.
I must admit that the reasons are fairly true......at least that's what I think.
Besides, I feel that the 2 years in JC are practically useless. The subjects there are ......not very useful.
What can't one take all the necessary subjects in universities? -

Somehow I think the JC route before to Uni is the education path passed down by the British? Afterall we are a former British colony and a lot of laws and practices are inherited from them?
I read newspaper somewhere our Singapore education system maybe going through a revamp to align themselves to current world situation? Some US education system are being studied I think.
In the meantime, make do with the path lor hehehehehe.... -
no comments...i have chosen the JC path and right now has landed me in NUS....all i can say is persue what u want in life...if you have a passion in a subject, an ambition then whichever way is a bright path for u....don let other ppl affect your decisions...poly and jc alike.

true.. for those who r nt sure or dun wana go university, it's better u go poly, cos a poly diploma certainly worth more than a a'level cert.. bt once u r in poly, u haf to be 1 of the top student in order to go university.. there's pros n consOriginally posted by Parka: In a Straits times article today, it says that more students are opting for Poly instead of JC.

going to JC is like a gamble...u throw in all u have in exchange for a 2 yr course...after which where u go depends on A levels...if not game over u still need to go poly.....so be sure!!!

To me most ppl in JC are those who either dunno wad they wan and go JC to spend the next 5 years thinking about it or they want something Poly cannot provide yet(I.e medicine,law physics)
-
or they simply wanna have fun with JC boys and girls......?

I've taken the JC path too. In NTU business now.
Now that I think back, all the subjects I took in JC were useless.

A level cert is a ticket to a degree in University. By itself u cannot do anything......Poly diploma can be use on its own....better if backed by a degree....thats the difference

but the 2 yrs in jc is a nice and wonderful experience.....gives us happy memories of being young?

weird how an o/n level certs are more useful than a level certs.

i took the JC route...but given a choice again, i might choose poly.
think of it.....now more opportunities to get into Uni from poly. and 3yrs in poly, n u can cut short 1 yr in uni studies for some 4yr courses. so total 6yrs to get degree. take jc route sama sama 2+4.
go poly u get 1/2 a stepping stone in case something goes wrong in between. go jc fail badly waste 2 yrs or left stranded. experience wise, jc ppl r better in maths/theory part because foundation stronger. poly r better in practical. poly cost more, whereas jc much cheaper. -
poly best...

actually not true... i dunno about other courses, but i'm a business diploma holder.. going to uni.. the most they give u some exemptions in certain modules, but they dun cut short one yr for u... unless u r taking a private degree from places like SIM or MDIS.Originally posted by Cerebral_Assassin:i took the JC route...but given a choice again, i might choose poly.

i dun regret going to poly.. although i believe jc life to be more fun.. i believe poly builds character too.. got to go through lots of projects and it's not as easy doing well in poly since it's made up of so many modules and projects
and i really hate those pple who say poly no use.. cannot go uni!!! my uncle is one of them... hmphF!! if u pass ur A levels but ur score doesn't get u to the degree course that u want, then wat's the point of getting a degree?? u r going to be stuck with this job for life man!! -
not finding fault with u but plz highlight the whole proper phrase and not just those in redOriginally posted by cAr|n:actually not true... i dunno about other courses, but i'm a business diploma holder.. going to uni.. the most they give u some exemptions in certain modules, but they dun cut short one yr for u... unless u r taking a private degree from places like SIM or MDIS.

i put them in 'in SOME 4yr courses'
i also generally think that jc ppl r stronger in terms of language than poly ppl
and for SOME poly courses transitting to uni, u need to take some xtra modules not exemption. good 'A' will also result is exemption for some -
Sadly JC cannot even be considered education, the way it is run... it is basically 3Rs... Read, Remember and Regurgitate... And the sad reforms to break the mould and put some creativty into the JC production line robots has only ended up messing up the issue until JC education now is a pretty much farce of learning. Gee, you spend to years to earn a piece of paper (90 percent of the stuff you are thought that you will not use of forget anyway) to certify that you make a good robot.
On the other hand, Poly education which has had far less interferance from Big Brother, appears to teach it's students real actual life skills. -
'a' level gd for signing on in saf....

Those whu r suppose to go JC pls dont take up the "Bandwith" of Poly pls...

meaning?Originally posted by FaTe_TwisTer:Those whu r suppose to go JC pls dont take up the "Bandwith" of Poly pls... -
I think your calculation not 100% correct.Originally posted by Cerebral_Assassin:3yrs in poly, n u can cut short 1 yr in uni studies for some 4yr courses. so total 6yrs to get degree. take jc route sama sama 2+4.
JC route = 2+4 years = 6 years
Poly Route = 3+1+3 years = 7 years (assuming 1st year exempted)
poly dip more value lar...
