Haiz.. things always go from bad to worst...
My cds teacher is now failing me for not passing up enough... work.. pieces
But WTF .. can't he understand that i have my difficult?
I was so anrgy over what he said...
Cause he PENG wei
I sent him this email
"
I know that i have not done as well as i did but i did put in effort
All i asking now is for a grace period of 1 day to hand up work that is due
i know you have said that it is too late for that and since you have said that if i have personal problem , you can help me(As in the case of Cancer mother)
Since that is the case
Then why are u not empathizing with my suitation.
I really had trouble coping with my Own core subject and Elective as well as freehand
My own course subject comprises of 7-8 projects + 1 Presentation in the frame of 4 weeks
You say that you cannot validate my project and my workload
I have approached my AOCP and he has ask me to inform you that you can call him to ask about my suitation
(Validate that my coursework is very taxing)
I have also approached my Subject leader (Mr Peter choy) on this problem and he said that he does not question your intergity of marking a student and that workload is not a "strong" enough factor
I only got this to say
Fast system cuts short on your time
From 14 week to the 12 we now have and this year , the holidays alone already took up nearly 1 week of time
11 weeks of studies and we hand up nearly 11-15 projects and assignments. Do you all really think that it is fair to student of this year?
Because of the short time frame and added projects (Fast system DOES not cut down on subject but instead increase or maintain them)
we have now shorter time and more thing to rush(Project , Assignment , Quiz , Term test , Exam , presentation)
You may think that i did not put in enough effort
But was i given a chance to put in full effort?
Given a choice of passing my CDS and my Core subject and Elective subject
i would choose the latter.
Because it ensure that i can promote to next semster
Now since i already fail my First CDS which is Jap due to my commitment in my CCA (Production Crew)
and pass my next CDS(UIR which was 3 CU)
Would failing me be fair to me?
Since i already learnt from past mistake and is not longer active in my CCA(Sub-comm for production crew)
I focus on my Studies and put in effort but is this what i deserve?
To stay back 1 semster because of a CDS
and what is the missionary of a CDS
(The mission of IGS is to create and deliver learning experiences for students to explore beyond their chosen disciplines, preparing them for an interdisciplinary world. As one of the key providers of a wide range of Cross-Disciplinary Subjects (CDS) to students, IGS aims to broaden students' outlook beyond their diploma specialisation.)
Since it seek to enrich us in our stay in temasek poly , then is failing student part and parcel of it?
Forcing student to stay back a semster because of it
Then i rather you all forfeit this CDS option.
Since you seek to encrich student, then should you not revise the workload so that student will not fail unless they dun put in effort at all?
Now all i ask is 1 day grace period to hand up my remaining work and if you still deem me a failure then i have nothing to say. Since you said that you pass my camera and camera posses a high mark in this CA based subject
Then why should i still fail?
Can i take a look at my CA result?
If i can't , i would take it up to higher authourity
I don't wish to make a big fuss out of it but please understand that i have really put in effort and i am still failing and as you have said before ( If you hand up your work , and put in effort , then i would pass you)
I DID hand up my work , put in effort and i am still failing
Please look at the circumstances
I have multiple projects on hand , i have my commitment , i put in effort and i still fail my subject
Is that FAIR?
If i knew that i would fail , i would have inform you before the project deadline that i needed an extension before the deadline to hand up all my work.
And there are other factor for you not being able to contact me.
My hp is spolit and my house does not have any Net connection due to some error with my modemn.
Also i rush down personally to see you today.
If i don't put in any effort , you think i would bother?
All the 3 outing , i have also attended.
So and i handed up most of my work.
If you want to comment that you already tried your best
and just asking yourself if you are being fair.
Why do other class only hand in 2 pieces for outdoor drawing and we hand up 4?
You know the seriousness of unfair workload?
They have less thing to do compare to us.
So you think this is a VALID enough reason compared to my workload?
That you are adding additional workload to my already taxing workload?
So i have a valid point there to approach higher authourity to look into your marking and revise all marks?
And my name is not mentioned in the warning for student who don't hand in a lot of work
As quoted date : Fri 3/4/2005 6:01 PM
Presently there are some students that have owed me a lot of drawings and I am getting increasingly worried about them. Some remain uncontactable or the hp no you gave are no long er in use. Please do help inform these students if they are your friends or classmates:
1) Amelia Bte Mohd Ali
2) Chian Soon Siong
3) Farah Assyurah
4) Muhammad Yazid
5) Ng Yau Seng
6) Poh Chuen Kiat
Jay & Taufiq were also on the above list but have since come to contact me. Pls email me or call on me.
And , i was not present for one of the lesson where u ask for the work to be handed up ASAP for those who still owe a lot.
I do not want to make a big fuss over this
All i ask is fior you to show me 1 day grace period to hand up my work
and if you still think that i should fail
I resign to your decision
and for your information , i am still having my exam now.
I already feel very troubled my exam and this is making the suitation worst.
Please Reply ASAP
( i am still in school) "
Now i am just waiting for his reply
Anyway , i submitted 3 extra pieces of work but i do not know if he still accept them..
I admit that my language and my tone was very threatening.. but hey.. i felt so unfairly treated OK?
and i always apologize to him
but i did put in effort and he lie to me in more ways than one
I was just god damn pissed that i fail something i had put in effort and bothered about
Crappy lectuerer , just dun mean what they say and dun compromise with student's suitation and lie lie and lie
Just pray to god that some mircale will happen
Anyway , for the benefit of my future temasek poly student , i already complain to IGS which is in charge of CDS and i will be meeting with their principal or in-charge and i hope to sort this matter out with them
Anyway holiday started
and i am HAPPY
just glad that everything is over and i can finally relax a bit
Going to enjoy for 1 week perhaps , then work work work
Guess what?
