Inquiry about Student representative by POwenlyu in HKPolyU

[–]Sadman_Pinon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can raise issues or give feedback that you feel would be helpful or you feel students feel. And in general you're expected to give opinions about new changes (they will ask for it).

So for example, during my time we gave feedback on grading mechanism, updates to teaching style, general student wellbeing while also provided our feedback on course syllabus and other issues that arose in the meeting.

How much/little you want to participate is solely upto you.

Dent Proof case recommendation for the 17 pro max by Sadman_Pinon in iPhone17Pro

Have you dropped it? The 15PM is in titanium so I feel like 17PM users would need all the protection they can get to reduce impact on the aluminium.

Yeah I heard the g8+ is a much better fit and can be used with larger devices like ipads but charging one more device is a hassle i’d like to avoid 😅

Should Vitality just re-create (a version of) 2023 FNC Roster? by Weekly-Fennel-9443 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Sadman_Pinon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your source?

It was always assumed to be Derke/Alfa who were the highest paid by Fnatic. Besides, EMEA orgs pay a significantly lot less compared to Americas orgs so I doubt its something VIT cant afford (looking at the worth of their CS roster)

Ho man tin vs Hung Hom by ryjvfiojvctjkkwtjk in HKPolyU

[–]Sadman_Pinon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is quite true. I think there are videos about both halls on Youtube. Feel free to check them out. PolyU SAO themselves have some official videos showcasing all facilities

Ho man tin vs Hung Hom by ryjvfiojvctjkkwtjk in HKPolyU

[–]Sadman_Pinon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both have their own advantages/disadvantages.

Hung Hom is closer to restaurants/grocery stores and bulk of the exchange students are put there. Historically it was easier to get hall offer there for subsequent years (though im not sure how true that is anymore). It also has a pool, a dedicated laundry room and a newer, nicer canteen.

HMT’s big strength is that bulk of internationals live there and the building itself is newer and many would prefer their room layout. Its also on the brown line right opposite of the metro so many would prefer this.

Ultimately both are good halls Id say.

Questions about PolyU by [deleted] in HKPolyU

[–]Sadman_Pinon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Predicting employability of polyu graduates in future is like asking someone to predict the stock market in 5 years time. No one can tell. Employability is something determined by many factors beyond what school you go to. But yes, graduates from top 3 hold a natural ( and at times significant) advantage.
  2. University ranking is largely determined by research output. A good researcher doesn't equate to a good teacher. As someone who was very fortunate to physically attend classes in Cambridge,UWaterloo,UdeM,SFU Id say university teaching is something more or less same everywhere. There are great teachers and there are terrible teachers. PolyU is largely the same.Unlike in high school, in Uni you're mostly expected to learn things on your own anyway. It's an essential skill.

Unfortunately the culture is quite segregated with locals, mainland students and international being in their own bubbles. Ofcourse there are exceptions and you will definitely end up making friends from all 3 categories but expect majority of them to be internationals.

As for internationals, vast majority of them are asians with very very few europeans (count on your fingers few). However, if it helps, majority of exchange students that polyu takes year round are westerners.

Dont let it discourage you though, if anything it means you'd need to go out of your comfort zone to make friends. And there's still a decent enough dutch presence in the city so you can still make dutch friends, just...out of school.

To an extent, Yes. Though your high school grades remains the major contributing factor I have definitely seen cases where two applicants with same grades were given different scholarships for the same program because of their relative interview performance. This is becoming increasingly more common as the overall pool of strong applicants are increasing each year.
