Thought last time we had seminar style tutorials too?


You mean JC teachers ready or not?

Students can be ready anytime! And they will benefit, esp those day dreamers, shy ones who only take in answers and don't contribute...

JC teachers hv to work harder as seminar style requires considerable facilitation n moderation by teacher...very tiring to walk around from table to table to interact with students, prompt, ask questions and give suggestions. Give debrief after each group's presentation of discussion...so teacher's brain cells will be drained if the discussion is robust.

Lecture delivery is easier as teachers only need to hide behind visualiser or lecturn to expand on slides. Pretty straight fwd delivery...

I dunno if u need to conduct corporate seminars or townhall lectures but I must sometimes lor, so I can tell u most siong is seminar/workshop. Always must take mc or go for foot massage after those 2-day seminars ;(

Dear friends:


My son will take A Level this year and serve NS next year. He plans to apply for Oxford or Cambridge next year when he is in 1st year of NS. In such, is he allowed to take leave from NS to attend the interview with Oxford or Cambridge in Nov/Dec?

Thanks and regards,

Cambridge and Oxford do send their profs to Singapore to interview. That might be an option if your son can't take leave to go to England.

Yes, you can apply leave fr NS to attend interview. For Cambridge, he will have face to face interview (note application deadline is usually mid Sep for those who wish to be interviewed in S'pore, and mid Oct for interview in Cambridge). For Oxford, interview is via Skype.

Is it possible to take 3H2 + 2H1 at JC? I want to go to Science stream and study Bio Chem Math Econs Lit, possible?

Yes it is possible but it depends on whether your JC will allow it.

Yes it is possible but it depends on whether your JC will allow it.

Usually it will only be granted for strong students, and dependent on whether timetabling permits. Also consider that the regular workload is already heavy, plus CCA, and you may want to take a H3 later on.
