The Irony of Republic Poly

As explained in one of my previous post, all Republic Poly students learn the same subjects/modules during their year 1 period.

In one of the module, you are taught about motivation theories (Maslow's Hierachy, Motivating Employees, .etc). Students are taught on how to motivate their team, employees or people under them in a positive, and compassionate way without any fear-inducing motivation.

Now here's the irony of Republic Poly.

Why aren't they applying what they taught us on their students?

Most RP students will agree with me that they will lose their motivation once they're in year 2.

You do not care about grades as much; you do not care if you're late; you would simply plagiarize someone's work (renaming someone else's PPT as yours or copying over their slides); all it matters is just getting a "C" grade at the end of the day.

This matter has been brought many times to them, but they did NOTHING about it.

Finally this year (2011), they did something!

"Absent for 4 or more lessons without LOA or MC in one module, and you will be barred from UT3 (the final exam that contributes nearly 25% of your module grade)"

Erm.. then.... WHAT'S THE POINT OF TEACHING US ALL THESE MOTIVATION THEORIES WHEN THEY THEMSELVES DO NOT APPLY THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Also, RP seems more likely an abbrevation for REPUTATION PRIORITY.

Whenever an incident occurs, like a fight or the infamous scandal of the topless RP student, all students will receive an email urging them not to approach to any reporters, or contribute to it (whether is it online blogging, facebook, .etc). If not, they will be dealt severely by them.

Many readers have asked me the sole objective of this blog. Most of them have the misconception that I'm "Anti-Republic Poly" or "Hate Republic Poly".
No. That's not true. I'm creating this blog to bring up awareness.

I do not want new students to enter Republic Poly only to lose motivation and loiter aimlessly.

I do not want hardworking and dedicated students to come to Republic Poly only to end up as slackers or demotivated students whom lost their dedication and hardworking traits (that's what happened to me - not boasting here).

Republic Poly should improve on themselves than simply silencing complains.

To Republic Poly:

You have received many achievements and publicly boast about it.

Now prove it. Show us that you truly deserve them.

I hope it isn't some fake front like a hypocrite simply to get achievements you DO NOT deserve.
