Term end Exams

In the foreign system of education as well, you will have Term end exams at the end of semester which carries usually the weightage of around 60% of total marks.

Let me tel you the truth, Exam week just arrives to your way before you realise that days are still there. The Hardwork with good time management decides the success in the exam.Its always advisable to keep revising time to time with ongoing class schedules, ofcourse you cannot miss the classes as conditions apply here...as Condition says - 80% attendance compulsory to sit for exams :-).Good Relations with your peers,faculty and ofcourse with your seniors would become plus and is the great help for the exams and your course works.. ..So start networking with people is important for else where you go...:P


As far as my experience, I would say Singapore system of education is abit strict unlike our indian system of education and everywhere  you were required to follow the rules and infact you see many rules in the Hostels as well :-) Good Relations with your peers,faculty and ofcourse with your seniors would become plus and is the great help for the exams ..






Assignments - "No copy n paste please "

Assignments were given weightage of around 40% in the total marks.Students should be of extra cautious of following the Harvard referencing style and Should be Plagarism free.

Plagiarism is a form of cheating as because it's stealing another person's ideas. It  is when you use someone else's words or ideas and pass them off as your own. It's not allowed in school, college, or beyond, so it's a good idea to learn the proper way to use resources, such as websites, books, and magazines.

The best way is to paraphrase the matter, rather than copying and pasting as it is in the assignments. The percentage of how much plagarism is involved in the assignment is being checked thru Turntin software. No need to panic much from the first day of the school as days goes along with it - can be learned easily.

Assignment is prepared by referring to books,magazines,online materials . Word to Word switch is not allowed, instead like I said above the student can paraphrase it.
