    • Hi. I am 19 going 20. I am currently studying in RP and a 1st year student now. Can anyone give advice as to which management schools except local uni are reputable and recongised in Singapore for diploma? I was thinking of switching schools because I can't adapt to the PBL system in RP. Or should I go national service 1st before continue studying in RP? I am really confused and uncertain. I need damn good advice. Thanks. :D

    • Hmm, I am also a RP student, currently in Year 3.

      Actually, most impt is to enjoy the process of PBL. True enough that some people can get used to PBL, some not.

      Nevertheless, think of in future when you have to work with a team of people. Actually PBL is good in a way that it prepares you for the future. In this way, you will be mentally prepared.

    • I studied in ite for 2 years then came to RP. I was thinking of deferring my studies to go national service. Is SIM the best private school than the rest? Because I was thinking if it come to a point where I really cannot adapt to the PBL learning process, I may pursue another course in other private school. My grades are getting from bad to worse. You can say I even regretted continuing my studies after ite, I should have gone national service 1st. I am like so damn confused and dont know my vision of my future anymore. More good advice are welcomed. Thanks :D

      Problem-Based Learning.

       

      RP is the first institution of higher learning which adopts full PBL system. Everyday students in RP are given a set of problems to solves. Students will have to research on materials available(internet, library, given resource etc) to tackle for that day's problem.

      At the end of the day, students(in groups of 5) will have to do a presentation on that given problem. For the presentation part, there is no right or wrong solution. They're looking at your ability to reason.
