Yes, a lot of projects & summaries of 西游记 for certain chapters. As for Chinese Ace project, they need to do 30 slides(ppt) & present. Deadline today. Sometimes, he needs to burn the midnight oil to finish the assignments given for a night to complete. This is apart from the Major project they have... Poor chap... He worked v hard so as to get the 1 point that he missed for the Chinese Test 74/100. Does your son have to work as hard?[/quote]ER:
[quote=\"Lion_king\"]Hi Parents, I wonder did your DS ever have any irresponsible teammates who were either sick or slack in doing project work like Ace project!!! My DS did almost all the slides by himself even during test period while his friends did nothing in contribution. Worst of all they did not even know the importance of the Project that carries substantial weightage in their overall msg. I wonder how can such students be suitable in IP programme. Furthermore in this consortium! They will make all sorts of lame excuse for not turning up for the discussions or meeting. How sad :stompfeet:
Is there any Ace project that is group work? So far I only know of IS project which other than choosing the category and getting the mentor, very little work has been done.
So far for Proed, the Chinese ace assignments are individual assignments. No ppt needed but the reports need to be typed. All Chinese ace projects were due last week. So in a way, last weekend was quite a breather.
Are ace points added to tests? I thought ace is added to the IS score. -

Yes, my boy was given the same project to do for 西游记too. He was still rushing it on Sunday night too as they need to present it tomorrow. I think if I am not wrong, the boys are having the same chinese teacher - 谢老师. -

It is very common that some ppl slack in project works. Do not worry bcoz very soon the true colour of those who slack will be known by their classmates. So those hardworking ones will team up when there are new projects and score while those slack ones will have to form their own groups and suffer in grades.
Another thing is they are very new to project works and therefore do not know how to delicate the works properly. They usually have to meet up many times and spend long hours and very low productivity. Sometimes it is faster for one person to complete all by himself than to divide the works amongst the team. They will get much better in projects, in term of productivity, delication of works, quality and speed when they come to sec 2 and sec 3. The school is preparing them for Uni and real life. In real life you need to learn to deal with all kind of ppl and get your works done at the same time. -

Talking about project. My DS has a team mate who self-appointed himself as Leader which I think the rest of the teammates actually don't mind. But the problem is this so-called Leader is beginning to be 'bossy'. He simply SMS or FB the rest to ask them to do their work and give them tight deadlines. Don't think he himself has done anything so far. I am quite shock to see this in a 13 year old. Thought this only happens in workplace!Lion_king:

The boys are supposed to choose 2 subjects for ACE in Term 2. My DS is thinking of Maths and IH. Any idea what to expect from these 2 subjects. What about Science also. Appreciate any advice. Many Thanks
