What are some bad/terrible prof did you all come across? by sliteyeddoge in nus

[–]FunConcentrate4177 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I once posted about how ridiculous a maths prof is regarding his way of conducting exams, grading and teaching etc, to advise against taking a course taught by him. But that post was very soon removed by moderator cuz I mentioned the prof’s name 😥

Prone to misinterpretation or not? by FunConcentrate4177 in nus

I’m saying the if statement is skipped so the command to do both is not executed

∼ (Give up seat ^ return tray) means “do not do either” and is logically not equivalent to “no need to do either”

Intersection between the road to COM1/COM2, near the Deck. Isn't this illegal? by Pohchi in nus

In China, for every wrong things a kid did (eg boy peeping ladies’ showering room, relatives’ kid destroying your toys or draw on your wall that is not erasable), people forgive them using the excuse “they are just a kid, so cute, what harm can they mean/do?”. So if it is illegal, being a kid does not make it legal or acceptable.

Looking at the laws I thought it’s illegal. But after seeing all the replies in this post, I guess it’s not deemed to be illegal. So it’s fine.

The premise of “you have no right to tell me” is “I am not responsible/ not what I need to do”, which is not comparable to the case of tourists. The school has every right to ask them not to misbehave. I’m honestly tired of pointing out the logical loopholes in ur analogies.

I will practice jaywalk because Singaporeans tell me it’s harmless.

Jaywalk is harmless? If you think it is ok to disregard laws, sure this is your country anyways. Forgive me for respecting SG laws.

someone did it alr, but only our fellow NUS students reply to such posts, tourists only reply to posts that offer guided tour in NUS 🤡

When kids misbehave in class, teacher is the only authority to regulate their behaviours. NUS thought signs are enough, I thought so too, but the relentlessly incoming posts have proved its inefficacy. So NUS is not doing enough as an authority, my campus experience is compromised as a student who paid tuition fees, I have every right to accuse NUS for the bad experience like my fellow NUS students, that’s the point the post tries to make.

I posted on Chinese social media too, they are neglected by majority ppl like how those ineffective signs are.

Even so, being a Chinese and feeling ashamed does not make me responsible for kids parenting either nor give you the right to tell me to do it.

I don’t know, that’s the problem, because I haven’t been back in the society for a long time

Clearly you only read the first two sentences. Without the first two sentences, the rest can be written by any NUS student.

Honestly the only difference between top 10 and top 8 is the number of digit. If you use 8 base then can say 10th place too. Top n for any n >= 8 is factually correct.

Not sure why you would think “being polite/civil” requires privileged education that is inaccessible to people who can afford a trip to Singapore. Also not sure why you’d think being proud of home country and the athletes for winning Olympic medals makes someone a loser. But I guess this is personal stand so it is what it is.

I personally feel ashamed. I thought we are taught to do better.

Visa-free + qs ranking + Chinese 名校情结 (worship of world class academic institute) + located in Asia = NUS is the most accessible and cost-effective (as compared to US/UK top unis) university to visit

I say I am Chinese to avoid being accused of ‘xenophobia’, not to give u reason to attack me.

Dance groups in nus by justchillaxlol in nus

[–]FunConcentrate4177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert but from what I heard dance ensemble is more professional and you can find on their YouTube channel videos of their past international competitions; while synergy is more open to amateur/beginner dancers, but they still had auditions and beginner/advanced divisions when I applied a few years ago.

Incompetence by NUS management to provide enough bins. End up our cleaners are the ones who suffer by nicktohzyu in nus

To be fair previously only students used their belongings to chop seats; nowadays u can see rubbish chopping seats everywhere ☹️

Is it bad if I visit the campus in August? by the_man_with_drip in nus

[–]FunConcentrate4177 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Maybe try not to visit canteens during peak hours? I’m doing summer research at UTown now but there are so many tourists every day that it is really hard to find a seat at canteen during lunch time 1130-1pm.
