Update: Oh yeah! To finally conclude this whole debacle, I have some fantastic news! My Science Head of Department heard about my case (told him) and he decided that he would award me ALL 8 marks that will come from peer review. Fuck yes!


Well some of you may have read my blogs on my lack of friends, and my rant on the education system in Singapore.

In the latter, I talked about this project I was assigned.

Recently, I was tasked with a Science project that will make up 50% of my grade this term. The task is to pretend to be 'an active Singaporean who has just obtained [my] undergraduate degree in Nuclear Engineering from UC Berkeley, [I should] have my own views on [ using Nuclear energy in Singapore ] .' I have to back up my argument with proper research findings, expert opinions, documentaries, etc.

Is this too much to ask for from an 'average' 15 year old student? I have no idea what evidence I'am going to use other than from newspaper articles. I will also have to present my argument with ' a letter to a newspaper editor, blog, YouTube video, etc. '


I was supposed to complete this project with 2 classmates (project mates) but turns out they found a different group to work with. The workload would have been fine split between us 3, so I figured that I would be able to cope with the amount of work anyway. But turns out if I don't have partners, the teacher is going to grade me ZERO. FUCK THAT SHIT!

I haven't even managed to come up with any solid, tangible writings at all. Perhaps if I do a very good on my own the teacher would close one eye and let me through, but fucking hell project deadline is in 5 hours and I have no partners to research together because they left me for some other classmate.

This project is going to make up 50% of my Chemistry grade this term and I'm just left alone in the dust.

Fuck classmates or being nice.

If anybody would like to view me struggling with this piece of shit : http://prezi.com/f10zn8uix11q/on-nuclear-energy-in-singapore/

Fuck no, if you hand it in late by a day 20% of your overall achievable grade gets shaved off here.

If you hand it in even later than a day past the deadline, 50%.

What the fuck?

What kind of fucked up project is this? Stupidity from the teacher, the school or the grading system?
Shouldn't a group of three be ASSIGNED? This is just plain silly, especially with a project with this magnitude, you'd think they'd have some senses to order things properly.

Explain to me how you only have 5 hours left for a project that is worth 50% of your grade and your friends happen to JUST leave you now before the deadline.

We were supposed to work on it tonight because we were all busy with other things for the entire week, turns out they found a classmate with no group who had already done the majority of the work

Even though you got screwed over and were stupid to not begin working on this earlier, why aren't you working on it now and instead checking teamliquid?

You start one day before the deadline.

You don't even seem to be putting in full effort now.


Seems like 3 lazy people of which 1 is going to run into a wall now.

But creating an age appropriate (just 15 years old) presentation about the benfits of nuclear power within 5 hours isn't that hard.

Your friends are douchebags, but it's also partly your fault. Stop looking for sympathy and look for real solutions right now without getting discouraged.

However, since you're 15 I'll give you tips on how to research. Don't look up "Singapore nuclear energy" specifically. Look up nuclear energy first, and then look for ways to tie it into the singaporean energy infrastructure. Try to find ways to tie them together after you've found your information. How would singapore benefit? What does an area need to make nuclear energy a successful source of energy? You're not just gonna be able to copy and paste this shit together; your job is to find connections.

If you do your best and you get penalised not for the content but because you didn't have partners, GO TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY. It's about the class grade and you need help.

To the people criticising the teacher, you are off the mark. The work was assigned much earlier and it's the student's responsibility to approach the teacher if suitable partners could not be found.

Anyways, the switching of partners at the drop of the hat seems to be a typical "kiasu" (scared of losing) singaporean thing.

Hm yeah I got screwed like that in university for my Masters. Pretty much same story as you.

Teacher told us to form groups on our own. We formed a pretty decent group of friends, basically people we could trust. Then the lecturer reassigns me to another group, formed by all the people that barely turned up at lectures, and had no idea what was going on.

The project turned out to be a complete disaster. Only 2 out 5 actually did work (including me). One of them didnt have a clue so he was immediately useless, the other plaguerised a book almost word for word, and the other never even turned up in the meetings and handed in his complete shit work, with no references, 2 hours before the FINAL deadline.

We failed miserably. We complained to the tutor, he said there was nothing he could do. The project counted for 50% of our final grade, and we basically just passed the subject, (the other 3 failed it) when it could have been an easy grade. This fucked up my final grade for my Master degree.

What I should have done: after complaining to the tutor, I should have taken the matter further up, to the course leader.

Just some considerations one ought to think of (not sure if applicable to your project)

1. The actual power generated: Nuclear typically gives base power, but it can also be used to regulate changes in demand, both of which the same amount of MW installed effect of wind power can't..

2. Economic consideration: what does a nuclear power plant cost during it's life time? Will it lower the electricity prices during its life time and will that benefit the industry? How does the electricity market work in Singapore, can the government operate a nuclear power plant at a loss? How will it be financed? How will the cost/availability of peak demand power be?

3 Security: Both the usual stuff and the availability of nuclear fuels, is it a risk for oligopoly or foreign pressure?

4. Enviroment: Nuclear power vs Renewables vs Fossile fuel, it is climate change and the risk of nuclear power versus the points 1-3.

Yup. Fuck this shit. O'levels is what matters in the end.

On a side note, given how you ranted about your friendless situation, I think it isn't too surprising that your project mates deserted you. I would suspect that they've probably planned on double crossing you from the start and are probably laughing about your situation now.

this thread is a joke.. first you complain that you have "only" 5h left to do a team project on your own and not even 2h later you have completed it. i dont buy it
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

I generally don't help with homework blogs, but here goes. The easiest thing to do would be to argue that, because of Singapore's small geographic area, the risk of Nuclear power is too great. All you have to do then is to find a few articles on the risk of nuclear power and mention the recent disaster in Japan.

Anyway, here are some sources for you. Scan them and write something useful:

http://peace.junyx.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/How_Nuclear_Power_Works.pdf
http://energiamia.org/downloads/IEERstatement_Fukushima.pdf
http://www.energyblueprint.info/fileadmin/media/documents/energy_revolution.pdf

http://uploading.com/files/17e19139/science.pdf/

Also, look at the wikipedia page that discusses the nuclear debate, and cite the things they cite:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_debate

EDIT: Guess I'm too late, but seriously, when you're in high school it's so easy to get a good mark. Just think about the topic for 5 minutes and then find research to support your argument.

So the project revolved around needing to post about 5 articles about Nuclear energy? That is one heck of an easy class. 50% of the grade comes from writing a few notes about energy. I'd say you are pretty lucky if anything.

wow man fuck group work.. that sucks, my roommate got stuck in one of those groups, although our professor was nice enough to give him a grade cushion for somehow salvaging a 4man presentation by himself

Been wondering this too. Usually neighbour hood schools won't give project until so jialat . Sounds like you're in those top tier "elite" school

edit : judging from your previous post , it seems like you're not in those elite schools. You're 15, you need to chill the fuck out. you seem very stressed out from your school work. I'm turning 17 this year , just got out of my secondary school after O levels. I'd advise you to make friends soon , its still early in the year , you have time. You'll need those friends next year when you are mugging for your o levels not only that , your friends will be the only thing keeping you sane when you are burying your face in your books.

Enjoy yourself now , make friends , get a hobby to relax ( not starcraft ofc , something which gets you out of the house , hit the gym or something ) . The last person you wanna be is that dude who sits alone everyday all the time. People say hi to him , people notice him , but he doesn't have anyone to hang out with . You know what I mean?

Don't treat everything in school so literally. School grades are school grades , your O level grade is an entirely different thing. You have to realise that there are somethings in school you cannot change and you have to work around it if you don't agree with it .

I'll give you an example , I was forced to take F&N as a subject when i was sec 3 because my school had "insufficient" staff to teach bio or whatever their excuse was . On top of this , they didn't allow me to drop the subject when I hit sec 4 , fully knowing I had 0 interest in it. Ofc I was upset with their decision , but I went along with it , attended every lesson , every extra class , staying back 8 hours per week for the extra lessons for F&N subject alone. All in all , I did fairly well for my O levels , 3A's and 2 B's and a pass for my MT. Failed my F&N ofc.

All I'm getting at is that there will be bullshit flung your way. You take the hits, but you roll with the punches and you go with the flow. oh yeah and relax :D

Good luck man , kill it for your o levels next year , but for now , you can kick back and relax.

It sounds like you had a bad approach to this project... why not just assign specific roles to each person in the group at the beginning of the week, and you all check up on each other periodically to ensure progress? This way each person is accountable for something instead of no one being accountable for anything until the last day.

ITT: Lazy 15 yr old who can't man up on work blames teammates for him being unable to start a project on time.

Grow some balls, man up, do the work, and stop whining on an internet blog.

People like you make me sick cause you think that success should just be handed to you on a platter.

Did you even read the thread? His "teammates" ditched him so it fucked up his plans obviously.

Maybe if you had read the thread you would know this.

You think that doesn't happen to people all the time? You really want to know how many stupid projects I've done virtually on my own? Guess how I got them done - by not wasting time making whine blogs on a starcraft forum and actually doing the work. I've done entire research presentations in a couple of hours before. If you just sit down, shutup, and work, it's not hard.

Dealing with bullshit is part of life. If you get coddled like a baby every time something unexpected and difficult happens you'll never grow up. This kid is 15, which is more than old enough to handle this on his own. Hell, in the time it took him to write his OP, he probably could've googled half a dozen good articles on nuclear energy.

My great grandfather immigrated to this country when he was 14 with nothing but a suitcase of clothes. People need to stop treating teenagers like small children and fueling immaturity.

Wow you're pretty good.

It boggles the mind to think what you could have accomplished if you weren't using your time to post on a SC website; perhaps you could have cured cancer? Achieved world peace? Discovered warp technology?

Yes, what a shame we will never know what you could have accomplished if you weren't wasting your time making whiney comments on a blog post.


I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Did you even read what I wrote? First of all, it's a blog and I'm expressing my frustration. Secondly, I already completed the project.

Oh yeah! To finally conclude this whole debacle, I have some fantastic news! My Science Head of Department heard about my case (told him) and he decided that he would award me ALL 8 marks that will come from peer review. Fuck yes!

Grats on earning the 8 marks, but how does that factor into this whole 50%-of-entire-course thing? Hope you are also being graded properly for your actual work. I haven't taken a detailed look into your prezi, but oooh preziii =D I used it only once for an urban planning presentation and it was fantastic. Not significantly harder than powerpoint, some may say even easier, and it gets all the 'wow's hahaha.

Anyways, hope you get a fair mark for your troubles and efforts. Good luck.

Why are Singaporeans so smart?

I feel jealous.
It's easy being an experimentalist. If you fail try again.
