Maybe for the 2022 jc1 who is repeating jc1 in 2023. He would have done pw in 2022 and will be receiving his grades soon.
The selection of the project has yet to be started. Soon.
Even if started, so what? The grading can change immediately without impacting the entry at all.
And for the 2023 jc1 who have chosen their 4h2 subjects, do they now go into an exercise to select which h2 to drop to h1. And then the school to redo the timetabling? I am assuming h2 and h1 dont attend the same lessons, I dont know for sure. -

1) 90 RP is 20 20 20 for 3H2s and 10 for GP (plus 20 from 2 more subjects)
…. Such kids may not get RP90, but RP70 plus X factor may be within reach?[/quote]
2) 70 RP is also 20 20 20 for 3H2s and 10 from GP (plus X factor)
The 70 comes from the same “source”.
Unless we are assuming that for group 2, because I spend time studying for only 3H2s and GP, there is a higher chance of me scoring 20 20 20 10. Otherwise if I am not academically inclined, you give me more time to study, it remains unlikely I will get 20 20 20 10. Before the university even get to read page 2 where I list the X factors. -

That's what I feel too!! I was so shocked when I realised that school mentors are often not subject experts...
They finally realised that PW is useless but no gumption to remove it totally. ...
On one hand want to emulate the project/research aspect of IB, on the other hand don't have the expertise to do it for every subject. So create a PW ....

Was told by KI/GP teachers that the really top ones do GP.
For the top students, do take note of the changes to KI.[/quote] -
These are the JCs currently offering KI. I wonder what will happen to their KI Teachers after 2023 since GP is compulsory subject instead of KI.

KI teachers teach GP too. So they will not be made redundant.
These are the JCs currently offering K1. I wonder what will happen to their KI Teachers after 2023 since GP is compulsory subject instead of K1.

If u are coming in from the O level track,
Precisely, JC1 is a transition year and JC life is a short 2 years, it would be good to foster good working relationship with a group of friends in the course of doing PW. Think positively about it and build better friendships in a team. What I noticed was that even when 2 personalities could not get along at first, they would try to get along well and complete the project with a common goal in mind. It is an essential skill to develop. This is definitely superior to the \"cancel\" culture some cliques have. Actually PW is good for JAEs, they assimilate faster into existing cliques. MOE always thinks ahead.
JC is effectively a very short one year 6 months period, unlike the IP students. -

Yes, my daughter got into NTU with RP 72.5. She was just below the 10% IGP for the course she applied for, but obviously made it within the 0-9%! Of course, the range of options narrows with lower RP.
oh dear it's a misconception that you need RP90 or close to it to enter university.
There are many courses in the local universities today, the RP requirements are in the 70s range. -

Well, as someone said, they could be doing something more useful. It depends on the teacher, I guess - give the students more time to brainstorm etc, possibly at the expense of performance (given limited time)? Or give very specific direction from the beginning, get better grades, but negate much of the benefit of doing a project?
Isn't this similar to what we see in the working world? In the working world, we find risk taking is also frowned upon in some situations and then gotta learn how to weigh what is at stake. I feel that nothing is lost. It's great that the kids have contributed in creativity and thinking during the brainstorming and they also learned to appreciate that the teachers have another objective in mind to help them obtain grades. In other words, they have gone through the creative thinking process, except not the full scope was not submitted for grading, that was what I saw. What we need to understand about PW is that it drives many other objectives, so high creativity is not one of them unlike in competitions.
