The rest, is they can get module exemption if they go into the course related, like mechanical eng in poly -> mechanical eng in uni... -

Thinking abt it, they want to monopolise in what they can...
Retail got NTUC...
Insurance got NTUC... -
singaporeans are kinda apathetic when it comes to these things..
i bet they could watch The Corporation and tell me it's "boring" while not seeing the corporations having them by the balls -
well ... I guess maybe this apathy stems from resignation ? ...Originally posted by the Bear:singaporeans are kinda apathetic when it comes to these things..

luckily i never bought any plan from them
one of my friend bought one from them, when he called when he want to claim from them, they said the admin dept is processing, he called again, they said that investigation is still ongoing, he called another time, they said that finance is going to issue the cheque, still nothing, he finally went down personally n ask to see the manager, finally he got the cheque, what lousy service -
I'm trying to edit my group term paper right now.
But I'm very, very suspicious of the work of one of my group members. I'm not sure whether it's his own work.
For example, consider the following passage, ostensibly written by him:
All the words in bold have hyperlinks to Wikipedia entries!
Solar power is the technology of obtaining usable energy from the light of the Sun. Solar energy has been used in many traditional technologies for centuries and has come into widespread use where other power supplies are absent, such as in remote locations and in space.
I'm thinking that he grabbed a passage from the Net, changed a few choice words, and then passed it off as his own writing. If that's true, then it's outright plagiarism, and the Turnitin software used by the lecturers will expose it!
What do you guys think? -
wiki is a bad bad idea .... it's a starting point, not a reference point ... -
Yeah I know... I personally use Wikipedia as a reference to other reference sources, but not a reference in itself.Originally posted by Fatum:wiki is a bad bad idea .... it's a starting point, not a reference point ...
But that's not the main point here. My point here is that he had sent me a Word file, and all those key terms were full of hyperlinks to Wikipedia entries! I don't believe that he would be so diligent to hyperlink those terms himself; I'm thinking that he simply grabbed an article from the Net full of those hyperlinks and simply changed a few words here and there.
You get my drift? -
well ... again .. google is your friend here ... you can actually do wild card searches for entire chunks of text on the web using google ...Originally posted by fudgester:Yeah I know... I personally use Wikipedia as a reference to other reference sources, but not a reference in itself.

Wild card searches? That's news to me.
How do I go about doing that?
It would be useful if I can find an article totally similar to what he wrote... I can then have a huge load of evidence to confront him with. -

you can look for webpages and links with entire pages of text as parameters ...
how do you think profs who cannot afford those nifty software and expensive services catch people ? ..
