is a very fucked up place.
First of all, all other shit aside. This post will focus mainly on my MP so far.
My group (I will not identify them here) was tasked to do an iPhone game (wtf?) for our MP (Major Project). First and foremost, the iPhone is not even released in Singapore yet. Who’s shit idea was it to do this “exploratory” project?
Secondly, as if being tasked with a shitty project isn’t bad enough, we are expected to do them without proper hardware / software? To TP: if you want to give students shitty assignments, at least make sure there is adequete assets to complete them. It has been the same with most of my subjects, but this time it’s really over the limit. If you want us to do an iPhone project, at least FUCKING GIVE US AN iPHONE AND PROPER MACS* (read: intel macs with leopard installed, not just any of those old shits you have in the storeroom lab) to do our project.
* The iPhone SDK requires an intel mac running leopard, assholes.
My inconclusive conclusion is that TP’s whoever-it-is likes to generate random cockshit projects and just throw them at us, without providing enough hardware or equipment to complete the task. Worse still, when the issue is raised to the Course Director, all he can offer is “We will tell the marker to lower their standards then.”.
First, FUCK YOU. Moving on, what kind of shit school makes excuses like this? It’s not like they aren’t earning enough from exorbitant school fees, and they are giving us shit in return? It’s the same as SBS (next post, i promise.) always giving crap in return for insane charges.
All corporations and education institutes in Singapore are crap and nowhere near the “World Class” standards Lee Kuan Yew made them sound like.
Ok, so after all my digression, my MP supervisor just told us that the MP will be scrapped. This is total bullshit. We are already halfway into the MP and it has to be scrapped just because the school cannot give us proper Macs to work with. Next time, if you cannot even afford computers, don’t come up with such shitty modules.
Fuck Temasek Polytechnic. If I had known earlier I would rather study in an ITE. At least they don’t give their students this kind of “no hardware” shit.
