LIVERPOOL is in VJC!!!
Or at least they WERE.

So apparently Liverpool, or should I say Xabi Alonso and two other, came down to our school yesterday. Our resident Liverpool-fanboy Mr. Seet had us listen to the Reds songs in the morning through the PA system in the morning. Though I'm a Manchester United fan, it is still nice to hear something different other than "this is my home~ this is Victoria~". Yes, we know: We ALL LOVE VJ, so stop trying to psycho us any further!

Skipped Econs lecture... as usual,(OPPS! :X) but attended triple period GP later. Once again, we were forced to receive our present: GP 2008 Essay questions. Well, I guess everybody only had one thing in mind after finishing it: GG ler~ and it was SO SMART of Yinling to pon school!!!

Dismissed at 12.10pm. (YEAH~ HALF-DAY!)
Our beloved Oogliness, Tixi Tan went for the soccer clinic with the Liverpool assistant coach. Pardon me, I have no idea what his name is. According to Mr. L, if you were to check today's Newpaper, you will find her Oogliness and Alonso's photograph!
_____________________________________________________________________________
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VJC!!!
25th Anniversary to our beloved Victoria Junior College. I have to admit that College day wasn't exactly fun but it was inspiring to freeze (or not) in the Hall and watch our seniors and fellow peers going up on stage to receive prizes. I thought that the speech by the Student of the Year was rather well done and once again, I apologize for forgetting his name. Anyway, the College Day celebration ended off with a 'kind reminder' by Mr. Seet that he was going to find those who pon the college event. (ORH HOR! DIE LIAOZ~)

Anniversary Dinner in the evening. Not going. So nothing here...
_____________________________________________________________________________
Today Auntie Tunny's sister is getting married!

Congratulations!

Anyway, I found this video on one my friend's facebook thingy.

Thinking that it was super sweet, super cute and super related to wedding, I'm here to share it with you guys!

I would want my marriage to be as unforgettable and as fun as this!

Hello~

I 'borrowed' this image from Lionel's sister facebook post.

I thought it was pretty cool.

One of us (Janard) should post this on facebook and start tagging people. lol~

Anyway, fun day at Lionel's house.

Here's some simple math equation for you guys to think about:

1. Guitar Hero + Majong + Carbonara + Chocolate Cake = Ultimate House Visit

2. Lynette + Singing = Nightmare

Oh right. Do you guys know the Evil(as in Evlin) question yet?

One example of the evil question is: "Is Medium(difficulty level of the game) Hard?"

Well, I wouldn't know how to answer that :)

That's all I guess.

Let's all work hard for the upcoming prelims.

- Wei Yao

2009-07-08T14:47:00.002+08:00

2009-07-03T19:53:00.002+08:00

TRANSFORMERS

Let's watch it next friday after the Geography Paper.

We deserve a break after all the *cough* hardwork we put in, right?

Contact your favourite fake malay for more information.

Anyway, I was surfing through the net and saw this video being posted on mrbrown.com.

Well, I thought it was hilarious so I'm going to share with you guys.

Good Luck to all for the CT2s.

PS: I just realize I have so much more to study.

VJC GEOGRAPHY TRIP 2009!

Day 1: Embarkment

*Day 1 really had nothing interesting because we were on the bus mostly travelling.

Day 2: KuanTan

[Field #3: Telok Cempedak]

2009-02-08T11:51:00.002+08:00

[CLASSIC!]

2009-01-23T22:18:00.003+08:00

Yoo. Peek-tures from just now.

2009-01-16T21:50:00.001+08:00

hello A14! no, i'm not here to collect money (as some of you might think), i'm here to tell you that there's a make-up lesson for duchess of malfi since we're going to miss class this coming fri also due to chinese new year. the make-up lesson will be on tues at 1.55pm, right after geog/history lecture. we're supposed to 'hang around LT3' and wait for mr harris there.

well, so remember to bring your duchess of malfi on tues!:)

2009-01-09T00:27:00.000+08:00

2009-01-02T13:39:00.002+08:00

For the sake of those who weren't present on the 31st Night, the results of A14 Awards 2008 shall be posted here. (these are just for laughs, don't be too happy when you get these, yes that means the dog.)

The first award to be given out is the DETESTABLE SMARTYPANTS 2008. Have you ever felt so infuriated when you looked at your own results and then at these people? When you asked them for the secrets to scoring, they will simply reply with such turn-off answers like 'oh i don't know leh, i only study a little' 'i didn't study at all, i was slacking!' blah blah and you just wanna roll your eyes at them (okay, this is pertaining to me only).

So now, time for the four finalists.

(start from top left):

Annabelle who heads two CCAs and yet is still able to produce good results in Lit, Maths and Econs.

Tan Tixi who devotes her life to soccer and sleeps in almost every lecture, yet she tops the class in Maths and have consistently good results in Lit.

Lee Boon Kiang who is the closet mugger as we all know. Always in the i-don't-study mood but surprisingly tops the LEVEL in Lit PC and impressed Mr Lee with his Econs essays.

Yi Rong who claims he reads only Entertainment news but yet tops the class in GP all the time and astonishing essays for Lit.

....

And (dragging the 'd' sound) it is a tie between [LEE BOON KIANG] the closet mugger AND [ANNABELLE] the sick mugger!

(claps)

Moving on, next up we have Mr Suave 2008.

As we all know, A14 has only 6 guys and 16 girls, so that pretty much limits the competition between the guys because we all know Janard is the rightful winner. Being modest, he has decided to sit out of the award, so that the other 5 stands a chance to fight for it.

Once again, the finalists!

(top left):

Lee Boon Kiang who charms many girls in the class with his wondrous complexion.

Lionel who steals the hearts of many(okay maybe just one he is eyeing) with his silent composure.

Yi Rong, the intellectual guy in class who is the smart dream-guy of many girls.

Mutt Yao who has his large group of mina fans.

...

This was basically a walkover, cause the winner got more than half the votes. It goes to [L] the quiet charmer!

(claps)

Since we have an award for the guys, how could we forget the girls. The competition for MISS GLAMOROUS 2008 is really tight with 16 of them vie-ing for it. Though I must state that the word 'glamorous' is really ironic cause none of them fits it! (hides) But still, we have the final 3 who has the top 3 highest votes.

(left to right):

Chen Ying who has kept her looks well despite being the -ahem- oldd..oldest...LOL! Also, her skill at sa jiao-ing is really competent.

Lim Li Ling who though appears very sanpak and still is, captures many guys' attention until she starts talking.

Sarah Mei Feng the one who possesses absolute brain beauty and sweep guys off their feet.

...

Beauty Queen 2008 is awarded to..........[CHEN YING] the legacy who always look younger than the actual age.

(claps)

I'm unsure if the next recipient for this award should be happy, cause sometimes they seemed quite irritated being called these names, but oh well it has become their identity in the class. Now to introduce these weird people.

(top left):

Valedog is the class pet. Everyone could abuse her in whatever they like, and command her to do anything. basically, she's just like a normal dog except she waste water alot by consistently bathing, hence the lack of fur.

Ngo Hiang is the powerful female martial artist and who has a sharp tongue. Never offend her for she will counter with not only verbal assaults but with physical violence too.

Oily Face who never stops eating and stealing people's food. Beware, for she will consume your entire kitchen and if she's in a foul mood, she will drown u in a sea of oil. One of the most powerful pokemon in class.

Mutt Yao is the sacred malay prince. He often masquerades as one, oops actually he doesn't. AND PLS DUN LET HIM TAP YOU ON THE SHOULDERS DURING MAHJONG!

Auntie Blackhole is the one tied with Oily as the top 2 most powerful pokemon. If you make her pissed, she will suck you into her bottomless hole. She's secretly 40years old already, judging from her auntie antics.

Freak of Nature is one of the tallest girl in the school, i think just beneath Jessica but anyway, look out for this giant. She will attack you with her bowling cannon.

...

Due to overwhelming characteristics of all these people, we have three winners for the MOST SENTIENT AWARD 2008 and they are (in no order) [MUTT YAO] & [AUNTIE BLACKHOLE] & [VALEDOG! ]

(claps)

Finally, the most coveted award which is a measure of everyone's EQ in class. As I said, Janard is the rightful award but has once again decided to sit out again. He is really nice right, so yeap lets waste no time and look at the finalists.

(left to right) : Lim Li Ling, Lee Boon Kiang, Valedog. I don't see the point of elaborating, THIS IS ALL A FELONY! I BET THEY CHEATED!!

(sulks) [Valerie] got it. (shoves her away)

So we have come to the end of the awards presentation for 2008. stay tune and work hard to grab these awards this year, see you all again in December.

2009-01-01T14:36:00.002+08:00

31st Countdown Meet-up.

alright. cya guys on the chalet from 5-7th jan. HAPPY NEW YEAR! it's 2009, A levels year. (scrambles away)

2008-12-22T17:35:00.003+08:00

*UPDATES!

Yoyo. rmb 31st December, our post x'mas + countdown party.

here's what me, oily and joanne thought of today.

1stly, meet at Katong to have lunch.
2ndly, we split into two groups. One group would be those who wna go L's house and play Guitar Hero and the second group would go to a cheaper-than-Kbox-and-most-places KTV at Katong to sing.
3rdly, singing group would return to L's house to carry out the x'mas presents exchange.
4thly, we could go ECP to have potluck picnic/eat at the hawker.
5th, after eating some can go cycling/blading/chatting.
lastly, wait for countdown.

*leave a tag for two things. do u all want potluck or eat at hawker tgether? AND ARE YOU ALL IN FAVOUR OF MY EXCHANGE GAMEEEEE(the one we bring 2-3 items we bought last time out of impulse or sth that we realise doesn't fit us, and hope to give it to some1/exchange with some1 for sth that suits you more!)

- potluck [so yea everyone try to bring something, okay not everyone. teachers day everyone brought become too much food. MOST bring can alr.]

- presents exchange [each of us buy a gift, dun buy too expensive one. den we will have a lottery to draw, and then get the present whose assigned number is the number you drew.]

- i kinda derive this idea from the presents exchange thing. it's an activity where we bring 2-3 items from home which we do not want or not suitable for us and want to exchange for sth better. so we could see what the rest has and hopefully seal a successful trade. in for this?

- go to ECP at night for countdown.

-Guitar Hero.

anymore suggestions?

2008-12-16T23:50:00.004+08:00

2008-10-29T21:13:00.003+08:00

hello. quite a number of notes/announcements.

1. chalet! still not booked yet. i really need someone whose parents have both NTUC member card and credit card. it makes the booking less complicated. i know some of you indicated 1 night would be enough and yes i think so too, but I guess more people could come if it's 2 nights. of cause it means we have to pay more, but relax. the initial payment is by credit what, slowly pay oops.

2. we have 2 birthday babies next month. Jasmine and Charlene. so yea, try to keep 25th November free (sorry jas i know urs is on 21st, treat it as belated heh). shld be having lunch + perhaps walking round town or we could go ice-skating or anyone has any ideas? but the main pt is, try to keep that day free + save up(like maybe 15bucks? meal + activity)!

3. could those people whose birthday i forgot to include on the class blog pls tag ur bdae dates again. really sorry, i dun rmb where i put the paper with all the birthday dates. good news is, i'm desperately trying to get the belated gifts for those people whom i missed out.

4. charlene suggested a countdown party. haha. more as the date come closer.

5. we should have a x'mas party! every1 shld bring a gift and then we have a draw to exchange presents. each person's gift will be numbered and then we will draw lots. haha of cause, try not to get sth less than 5bucks. I BET LIONEL'S GIFT IS DAMN EXPENSIVE, so i'm gna conduct the session to ensure i get his. wooo.

6. Jolene says we could go her house to have steamboat. she has 2 of the steamboat cooker or dno what u call it. anyone in?

Lastly, I wna say that it's been great knowing everyone in 08A14. I don't regret coming to VJC, and I think Arts is really cool even though we dun do as well as the sci stream. school has been enjoyable because of you people. though i don't really interact much with some of u in class, but i guess there's still 1 more year to go. so yeap, lets buck up next year and ace the As.

2008-10-24T23:35:00.002+08:00

2008-10-20T23:36:00.001+08:00

hello. jasmine here, as usual to 'extort' money. well, please bring $4.50 for gatsby reader by thurs. i'll be getting them on fri.. and if you're dropping to h1, tell me by like tmr, tues, so i can go to the photocopy shop to change the order.
THANKS!

2008-10-17T19:03:00.004+08:00

NEWEST UPDATE(19/10/08)
1) SAFRA is FULLY BOOKED!
2) I've sent sms to all of you, pls reply which period during holidays you all are free so can pick a date for chalet. it's almost impossible to get dates when everyone are free, so will just choose dates when majority can make it. yup yup.

NEW UPDATE!
1) Charlene may get SAFRA card, so we gotta check the availability now.
2) Evil found a sentosa chalet which is 3D2N from 17th-19th nov(i think) at $165 bucks

for now, hold on okay! will confirm these 2 asap.

HELOOOOOO A14! it seems most of you are in favour or okay about having a class chalet. Basically, my plan is that i wish to keep it short. 2D 1N. i know most chalets are 3D 2N, but i guess the fun is really on the 1st night; BBQ + over-the-night-chat yada. it's kinda late to get those really good chalets, so i guess we're settling for Coastal Sand Resorts [Pasir Ris].

The tenative dates are 10Nov-11Nov. it's right after our PW! i guess it's a good time to relax. oh and one reason is because the dates after these days seem to require us to book for at least 2nights. basically, there are 2 rooms for us to choose from: Duplex and Premier.

PREMIER ROOM($135)

Single-storey
2 Single beds with 2 pull-out beds
Fully air-conditioned
Towels
Television Set
Electric jug
Refrigerator
Attached bathroom

DUPLEX ROOM($165)

Double-storey
Hall, ground floor with ceiling fan
1 bedroom, upper floor, air-conditioned
Towels
2 single beds (upper floor)
2 mattresses (ground floor)
Television Set (ground floor)
Electric jug
Refrigerator
Attached bathroom

so which one are you guys more for? anyway, to me i feel they are about the same because it's just 30bucks more for duplex which would be about 1-2bucks more each person pays. assuming we have at least 18people for chalet, each person pays $7.5 or $9 for premier and duplex respectively. if we include the food cost for bbq, i would be about $15 or $17 bucks altogether.

but of course, the above plan is only if we rent Coastal Sands Resorts. If any of u could help get us a better chalet with membership[Aranda, SAFRA etc] which will be much cheaper, it would help greatly. so pls tag on the board if you're in for chalet, and if yes, is coastal sands okay or if u have got a better one in mind.

THANKS!

hello. here's some info for lit from ms chia:

ALL texts that you bring into the exam for your Promos must be free of your annotations. Underlining in dotted lines / dashes is fine.
Highlighting in different colours is fine too.
Some of you have asked if you can bring in a photocopy of Great Expectations or another published edition of Great Expectations if you have FOOLISHLY ANNOTATED your existing copy of Great Expectations.
The answer is YES for INTERNAL EXAMS, but only if you have no time to buy a clean published copy.
This is because ALL students will need to have a CLEAN PUBLISHED EDITION in the end for their A-levels.
Any edition is fine, so long as it is free of YOUR annotations.
This is because teachers from other schools will be invigilating your A-level and they will not allow you to bring in a photocopied book.

well all the best for promos!:)

2008-09-17T19:03:00.001+08:00

Daydream achiever

A wandering mind can do important work, scientists are learning - and may even be essential

By Jonah Lehrer August 31, 2008

ON A SUNDAY morning in 1974, Arthur Fry sat in the front pews of a Presbyterian church in north St. Paul, Minn. An engineer at 3M, Fry was also a singer in the church choir. He had gotten into the habit of inserting little scraps of paper into his choir book, so that he could quickly find the right hymns during the service. The problem, however, was that the papers would often fall out, causing Fry to lose his place.

But then, while listening to the Sunday sermon, Fry started to daydream. Instead of focusing on the pastor's words, he began to mull over his bookmark problem. "It was during the sermon," Fry remembers, "that I first thought, 'What I really need is a little bookmark that will stick to the paper but will not tear the paper when I remove it.' " That errant thought - the byproduct of a wandering mind - would later become the yellow Post-it note, one of the most successful office products of all time.

Although there are many anecdotal stories of breakthroughs resulting from daydreams - Einstein, for instance, was notorious for his wandering mind - daydreaming itself is usually cast in a negative light. Children in school are encouraged to stop daydreaming and "focus," and wandering minds are often cited as a leading cause of traffic accidents. In a culture obsessed with efficiency, daydreaming is derided as a lazy habit or a lack of discipline, the kind of thinking we rely on when we don't really want to think. It's a sign of procrastination, not productivity, something to be put away with your flip-flops and hammock as summer draws to a close.

In recent years, however, scientists have begun to see the act of daydreaming very differently. They've demonstrated that daydreaming is a fundamental feature of the human mind - so fundamental, in fact, that it's often referred to as our "default" mode of thought. Many scientists argue that daydreaming is a crucial tool for creativity, a thought process that allows the brain to make new associations and connections. Instead of focusing on our immediate surroundings - such as the message of a church sermon - the daydreaming mind is free to engage in abstract thought and imaginative ramblings. As a result, we're able to imagine things that don't actually exist, like sticky yellow bookmarks.

"If your mind didn't wander, then you'd be largely shackled to whatever you are doing right now," says Jonathan Schooler, a psychologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. "But instead you can engage in mental time travel and other kinds of simulation. During a daydream, your thoughts are really unbounded."

The ability to think abstractly that flourishes during daydreams also has important social benefits. Mostly, what we daydream about is each other, as the mind retrieves memories, contemplates "what if" scenarios, and thinks about how it should behave in the future. In this sense, the content of daydreams often resembles a soap opera, with people reflecting on social interactions both real and make-believe. We can leave behind the world as it is and start imagining the world as it might be, if only we hadn't lost our temper, or had superpowers, or were sipping a daiquiri on a Caribbean beach. It is this ability to tune out the present moment and contemplate the make-believe that separates the human mind from every other.

"Daydreaming builds on this fundamental capacity people have for being able to project themselves into imaginary situations, like the future," Malia Mason, a neuroscientist at Columbia, says. "Without that skill, we'd be pretty limited creatures."

Teresa Belton, a research associate at East Anglia University in England, first got interested in daydreaming while reading a collection of stories written by children in elementary school. Although Belton encouraged the students to write about whatever they wanted, she was startled by just how uninspired most of the stories were.

"The tales tended to be very tedious and unimaginative," Belton says, "as if the children were stuck with this very restricted way of thinking. Even when they were encouraged to think creatively, they didn't really know how."

After monitoring the daily schedule of the children for several months, Belton came to the conclusion that their lack of imagination was, at least in part, caused by the absence of "empty time," or periods without any activity or sensory stimulation. She noticed that as soon as these children got even a little bit bored, they simply turned on the television: the moving images kept their minds occupied. "It was a very automatic reaction," she says. "Television was what they did when they didn't know what else to do."

The problem with this habit, Belton says, is that it kept the kids from daydreaming. Because the children were rarely bored - at least, when a television was nearby - they never learned how to use their own imagination as a form of entertainment. "The capacity to daydream enables a person to fill empty time with an enjoyable activity that can be carried on anywhere," Belton says. "But that's a skill that requires real practice. Too many kids never get the practice."

While much of the evidence linking daydreaming and creativity remains anecdotal, rooted in the testimony of people like Fry and Einstein, scientists are beginning to find experimental proof of the relationship. In a forthcoming paper, Schooler's lab has shown that people who engage in more daydreaming score higher on experimental measures of creativity, which require people to make a set of unusual connections.

"Daydreams involve a more relaxed style of thinking, with people more willing to contemplate ideas that seem silly or far-fetched," says Belton. While such imaginative thoughts aren't always practical, they are often the wellspring of creative insights, as Schooler's research shows.

However, not all daydreams seem to inspire creativity. In his experiments, Schooler distinguishes between two types of daydreaming. The first type consists of people who notice they are daydreaming only when asked by the researcher. Even though they are told to press a button as soon as they realize their mind has started to wander, these people fail to press the button. The second type, in contrast, occurs when subjects catch themselves daydreaming during the experiment, without needing to be questioned. Schooler and colleagues found that individuals who are unaware of their own daydreaming while it's happening don't seem to exhibit increased creativity.

"The point is that it's not enough to just daydream," Schooler says. "Letting your mind drift off is the easy part. The hard part is maintaining enough awareness so that even when you start to daydream you can interrupt yourself and notice a creative insight."

In other words, the reason Fry is such a good inventor - he has more than twenty patents to his name, in addition to Post-it notes - isn't simply because he's a prolific daydreamer. It's because he's able to pay attention to his daydreams, and to detect those moments when his daydreams lead to a useful idea.

Every time we slip effortlessly into a daydream, a distinct pattern of brain areas is activated, which is known as the default network. Studies show that this network is most engaged when people are performing tasks that require little conscious attention, such as routine driving on the highway or reading a tedious text. Although such mental trances are often seen as a sign of lethargy - we are staring haplessly into space - the cortex is actually very active during this default state, as numerous brain regions interact. Instead of responding to the outside world, the brain starts to contemplate its internal landscape. This is when new and creative connections are made between seemingly unrelated ideas.

"When you don't use a muscle, that muscle really isn't doing much of anything," says Dr. Marcus Raichle, a neurologist and radiologist at Washington University who was one of the first scientists to locate the default network in the brain. "But when your brain is supposedly doing nothing and daydreaming, it's really doing a tremendous amount. We call it the 'resting state,' but the brain isn't resting at all."

Recent research has confirmed the importance of the default network by studying what happens when the network is disrupted. For instance, there is suggestive evidence that people with autism engage in less daydreaming than normal, with a default network that exhibits significantly reduced activity during idle moments. In addition, more abnormal default networks in autistic subjects correlated with the most severe social deficits. One leading theory is that atypical default activity interferes with the sort of meandering memories and social simulations that typically characterize daydreams, causing people with autism to instead fixate on things in their environment.

The exact opposite phenomenon seems to occur in patients with schizophrenia, who exhibit overactive default networks. This might explain the inability of schizophrenics to differentiate properly between reality and the ideas generated by the imagination.

Problems with daydreaming also seem to afflict the aging brain: Harvard researchers recently discovered that one of the main symptoms of getting older is reduced coordination in the default network, as brain areas that normally operate in sync start to fire at different times. Scientists speculate that this deficit contributes to the inability of many elderly subjects to control the duration and timing of their daydreams.

"It's very important to use the default network at the right time," says Jessica Andrews-Hanna, a researcher at Harvard who has studied the network in older subjects. "When you need to focus" - such as during stop-and-go traffic, or when engaged in a conversation - "you don't want to let your mind wander off."

What these studies all demonstrate is that proper daydreaming - the kind of thinking that occurs when the mind is thinking to itself - is a crucial feature of the healthy human brain. It might seem as though our mind is empty, but the mind is never empty: it's always bubbling over with ideas and connections.

One of the simplest ways to foster creativity, then, may be to take daydreams more seriously. Even the mundane daydreams that occur hundreds of times a day are helping us plan for the future, interact with others, and solidify our own sense of self. And when we are stuck on a particularly difficult problem, a good daydream isn't just an escape - it may be the most productive thing we can do.

HELLO A14!

the along awaited teachers' day 2008 is here! (pretends to clap and that there are whistles and cheers). basically the programme for that day is very simple and very short.

8am-8.40am: BREAKFAST with Civics Tutors + other tutors if we invite them =)
8.40am-8.55am: clean -up
8.55am-9am: proceed to hall for concert
9am-9.45am: CONCERT!
-dismissal-

whoo, what a short day. as u can see, the main highlight is the breakfast. so yea, i've asked some of you to bring some food on that day but of cuz the best would be for everyone to attempt to bring a little and share and pass around? so yea, pls do bring some light food if you can on friday. thanks.

helloo there. the lit rep's here to collect moolah again:)
well, please bring $12 BY TUESDAY, it's for Great Gatsby:)

Distribution of the $12: $9.50 is the cost of the book. The remaining $2.50 is to pay for the printouts Mr Harris has been paying for you.

and well, we can only collect the books for the class when EVERYONE in the class has paid $12. so please, remember to bring $12, or the whole class can't get the book. (omg i sound so naggy)

Note:
As you can only bring in a CLEAN (no annotations or comments on the margin) copy of The Great Gatsby, some of you may want to buy a second copy of The Great Gatsby.
there are 5 extra books that students can buy for their CLEAN copy, on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS.
so, for people who want to get a second copy so you can scribble on it, please tell me asap.

and remember, $12 BY TUESDAY!

hey! its me again.
this is the criteria for ur project.

Critique of an Economics Articles Project

Instructions
1. Working in groups of 4 (or 3) H2 students,
· Select 2 articles from the newspapers, weekly periodicals (like The Economist, Newsweek, Times) or the internet news providers.
The articles
a) should not be dated earlier than 1 Jan 2007.
b) should be about a microeconomic problem and measures to solve it.
c) need not necessarily be about Singapore.

If there is only 1 H1 student in the class, then he/she can choose to work with H1 students from other classes. If not the H1 student is allowed to work alone and he/she is required to critique only 1 article.

· Write a critique on each of the 2 articles where you
o Identify the economic issue(s) featured in the article
o Apply relevant economic concepts / theories to explain and analyze the view(s) articulated in the article
o Evaluate the view(s) that were made in the article i.e. make a reasoned judgment about the writer’s analysis and assessment of the issue(s)

2. Each critique is to be type written and should be about 2 A4 pages in length (double line spacing, 1 inch margin all round). This will include any relevant diagrams that aid the analysis.

Your portfolio of 2 critiques should be arranged in the following sequence –
a) Cover page – which includes your Statutory Names, CT group, title, date and source of your 2 articles
b) Each article followed by the critique

3. The deadline for submission is Fri, 12 noon, 15 Aug 2008. Late submissions will not be graded.

4. There will be a Question and Answer session on your critiques during one of your tutorials in term 3 week 10. Your tutor will confirm with you the date, nearer to the Q and A session.

A guide for students - Questions to ask yourself when reading an article about economic issues
1. What particular economic problem and/or policy recommendation(s) is/are being considered in the article?
2. What assumptions, if any, did the writer make implicitly in his analysis? Are these assumptions valid?
3. Are there any limitations in the data that was used to support the analysis and conclusions made by the writer? [As the data sufficient? Is the data reliable? – consider the source of the data that was used by the writer; consider whether the data that was presented in the article really measure what it is suppose to measure. Is the data used in the article from a reputable source?]
4. Is the writer’s explanation or argument economically sound? I.e. can it be supported by economic analysis?
5. Has the writer analyzed the issue from various angles e.g. from the view points of different interest groups (consumers vs. businesses, employers vs. employees, residents vs. foreigners, private sector vs. public sector, internal vs external, short-term vs long term). Is there any biasness in the writer’s views?

HEY YOU SEXY BANANAS.

the inter house soccer is coming up this tuesday and Phoenix so far has only two teams that joined. only one girls and one guys team. and only one or two more teams coming in.

so, I HEREBY IMPLORE YOUR GRACIOUSNESS TO JOIN INTER HOUSE SOCCER.

it doesn't matter if you suck at soccer, don't have legs, allergic to synthetic turf, or have econs tutorial during that time (heh heh). WE NEED PARTICIPATION, we win points like that. it doesn't matter if we win the whole tournament, because houses like pegasus who send in 8 teams will still win us in terms of points.

so grab your friends! form a team of 6. if you can't find people, IT'S OKAY. just express your interest and i can hook you up with other phoenix people from other classes and we can make a team, and also make friends.

phoenix is trailing behind, but there is still half a year for us to catch up. so please do your part! and i will do my part by using the house funds for the good of all of us. thank you.

also please encourage your friends from other classes too okay!

2008-07-04T12:06:00.002+08:00
