PWned
It's time i let you in on Project Work, endearingly dubbed 'PW' by JC1 students Singapore over. Only if 'endearingly' brought about connotations of immense hatred, unnecessary stress and total sianness. It is GRADED and forms an entire AO level paper in itself...
From the MOE's (Ministry of Exhortation, btw) website on PW:
"PW is a learning experience..."
Yep. This is where i've learnt how to
Such as the Disciples of Plagiarism, Slacking Off 101 and the Fine Arts of Making-Your-Friend-Do-All-the-Work.
"... and critically and creatively apply it to real life situations."
Especially when you're dangling off the narrow precipice of a cliff, and there's a need to SPRING YOUR RESCUERS with a SURVEY on their health system.
"This process,..."
Of cruel and inhumane torture
"... which enhances students' knowledge..."
With its myriad choices of topics. Let's count: 1, 2... 2!! WOW there are 2 topics! That's one more than one!
"and enables them to acquire skills..."
ACQUIRE?? We have those skills forcefully imposed upon us like a rapist's erect sexual organ!
"... like collaboration, communication and independent learning,..."
As opposed to lieing, cheating and stealing, which would be so much better in the real world.
"... prepares them for lifelong learning and the challenges ahead."
Especially when the students are accustomed to the idea of having a fixed time schedule, teachers' assistance and guidelines for their projects. That will so benefit them when it comes to the rush-hour working life.
Have i told you how positively rocking my Project Work group is? Ok maybe not 'rocking', but 'stoning'. Wargh they're the biggest amalgamation of amorphous malingerers (read: fat slackers) in let's see, the KNOWN UNIVERSE! They either procrastinate and pretend, leave the country to defend or whose fellow volleyballers depend (on).
Haiz. Project Work is successful in some respect though. It's got me projecting blood all over the damned carpet.

"PW is a learning experience..."
Yep. This is where i've learnt how to
- Waste my time as efficiently as possible
- Jump innocent passers-by with pop surveys reminiscent of torture
- Let the hours on the horologe tick by as professionals waste their time and effort in our never-ending interviews.

Dwayne. You know what. I have been staying up all nite, tossing turning and erm hem. I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking of your PW being pawned . And then I had a blinding flash of light. Kinda like a UFO just landed on me bedroom. I think I have pinpointed what is wrong wif it. From what i know, I think they shld have simplified the PW a lot more than what it is now. Firstly, they should have kept the requirements for the biblio and all short and sweet. Secondly, students should be researching the topics they want to research on. Thirdly all the stiff bureaucratic need of a fixed format and template surely must go. I hope the bimbs in the Ministry of Excellence are here right now eavesdropping so that they can jolly well report back to the kitchen god with their sticky ang ku kueh stuck in between the crevices of their teeth. So there! Have I done you guys a service or dis-service?
