well, i agree that poly is stress in certain ways as in meeting the targeting dates for the projects, rushing for tutorials and lectures but overall i feel that the fun is more than stress..Originally posted by alterdesire:Before entering into poly, many ppl in this forum and else where told me that poly is a place to slack and have fun, fun, fun. However, now that I am actually in it. It is anything but fun to me .
I have never been so stressed in my life before. There so many projects to do but at the same time I must also do tutorials and study for common test. I just canÂ’t seem to handle them all. The worst of worst is that I need to work in groups. Working with ppl just sucks big time and it just adds another big bag of stress onto me, each one have their own personality..
I just donÂ’t know what to do now, Sometimes I donÂ’t go to school because I already cannot finish my old work and am not ready to take on new ones. I feel like quitting poly and going to JC or something. At least there ur academic performers doesnÂ’t depend on 3 or 4 other ppl. I donÂ’t even have time to sit and watch TV anymore. What should I do? How can I handle all this? Need answers from ppl who have successfully gone through all this?
to me, i love my poly life a lot.. that is the happiest moment in my life.. the time table is more flexible. i do not have to wake up extremly early every morning. i can dress in my own clothes, no harsh discipline.. got lots of freedom.. can get to know lots of fres..
i love grp projects the most.. mainly becos some projects have higher percentage than the exams and even though i did badly for my exams, i will still pass becos of my projects..... well, the thing u can do now is to relaz urself.. don stress urself so much.. mix around with more pple.. try to be tolerate as well.. maybe u have jus entered into poly, that y u can't cope it.. u nid time to get used to.. i am sure u wil defintely miss those days once u come out to work.. -

What you've heard is the good side. If you know how to enjoy life, of course it will be slacked and fun. The reverse is true.Originally posted by alterdesire:Before entering into poly, many ppl in this forum and else where told me that poly is a place to slack and have fun, fun, fun.

There are a lot of activities in poly to de-stress. Even if you have no wish to join, go out with your friends, have a good game of soccer, LAN, etc to de-stress. After that, then continue with your work.
To lessen your stress, try reading up before your lectures and tutorials. If you can understand certain parts well, it will save you time of asking your lecturers. Spend this extra time on your projects or asking about the parts which you don't understand.
As for working in groups, this is part of life. You've got to adapt. When you stepped into the working world, you will work with even more people with even more varied personalities. To handle them, ask yourself this question: Are you a leader or a follower or somewhere in between? If you are leader, try not to lead for most of the projects, to lessen your burden. If you are a follower, don't keep quiet all the time. Voice out your displeasure if you really can't cope. Compensate for that once you have more or less finished your stuffs. -
3rd time I see doubles......

Actually it all have to depends on how you look at it.
I'm currently a year 3 student, and doing my final year project (FYP).
It completely suck big time when the most important project so far in ur life is working with pple who are COMPLETELY UNCOMMITTED!! When you are the leader, it makes things even worst..
Imagine this guy that needs to come up with a maximum 15 page report. And he gave you 3 pages. Yeah, its true that it is still valid. But hey, a suicide alternative? Are you supposed to finish his part of the project?
Thats not all. You arranged a meeting with client and sent this guy there (because that guy requested i do the arrangement). And in the end, because he overslept, you get so much remarks and ur group gets so much "reputation".
How are you supposed to score with such group members? Honestly?
No solo, or the whole group fail the entire FYP.
I say, it all have to depend on your luck, how the grouping of project goes.
Yet another is when you offended this guy who has so much influence that has the power to isolate you out of the whole group. That sucks even more than you can ever imagine. It would have been like, eating alone, studying alone. And any other people have their own group of friends.
----------------------
Generally, the project has to depends on your luck. It's much more flexible and relax. But perhaps TOO flexible for things like isloation, boyclotting to take place.
I came from express stream in secondary school. I believe if you maintain your discipline, poly shouldn't be too much of a problem. Poly don't really give you the atmosphere to study, so you need to have a certain amount of determination.. -
Depends on which perspective u r looking from. Poly is slack and fun. All the 3 years that I have spend there is the most precious that I ever had. Even now in NS I missed the days in poly. All the project works are bits and pieces lessons that teaches teamwork, attitude and social communication. If u r giving up so easier now just because u couldn't work with some ppl then how do u face your future working in a company with ur colleagues. Dun tell me u r gonna switch job if someone u meet during ur work is a jerk.Originally posted by alterdesire:Before entering into poly, many ppl in this forum and else where told me that poly is a place to slack and have fun, fun, fun.

Workload is poly is much lighter as compared to JC. When I attended my first 3 mths, I could hardly even think abt play. Tats y I went over to poly. I think the key problem should be time management.
Here are some keys to my survival in poly
- Choose ur group mates wisely
- Do tutorials ahead of time
- Dun think ur lecture notes is gonna save u, abuse the library
- Get to know ur lecturers, they provide good source of info -
