We're hearing (or reading) loads and loads of excitement from the students-to-be, and are of course equally thrilled ourselves. Courtesy of a fellow Quad P student, Khairul Ain (a rising senior) who recently posted a few important tips on facebook, we bring you "Things you should know before becoming a Quad P student"
1. It's not easy! If you're the type who would never read a book before a test and ace it, you might just change because trust me, you need to work HARD.
2. Be prepared to receive a HUGE amount of workload. It's part of the package (do refer to number 1). For our examinations, we use the 60-40 system. 60% of the mark is from the test and 40% is from your coursework. This includes presentations, projects, etc.
3. Just so you know that the stream of work is endless so brace yourself and just go through it! Though, I would say, it's not that bad. The assignments that the instructors give you are interesting and out-of-the-box. They help you to develop soft skills too.
4. This is important - we practice INDEPENDENT STUDYING here. This simply means that you can't just rely 100% on your instructors to convey you everything that you should be learning. No spoon feeding, yo! You have to make your own revisions. The instructors are always there to help you out but you must be PROACTIVE (else how would they know you're in need of help?).
5. It's tough being a pioneer. There's a lot of deficiencies and you should try to accept them. If you are unsatisfied with something, try to overcome them.
6. In order to get an A+, you need to score a 95 (just throwing it out there).
7. Don't expect perfection and QuadP is not the place for entertainment.
8. Take the opportunity to try new things.
