I realised my poly life in Singapore Polytechnic is not great at all. After all these three years (I'm a 3rd Year student),
by looking at the future prospects of holding my diploma, it doesn't look good.
Yes, Singapore Polytechnic (SP) have lots of fun. But the course I joined, Diploma in Multimedia Technology, it kind of sucks. That's why there's always a phrase my friends and I always call, "SP is lie! SP sucks! SP sucks!". Especially for my course, I realised the course lacked alot of resources. Software or hardware, it lacked a lot. The course even lacked time I say. This conclusion was after what I communicated with students of similar courses from other polytechnics and I also seen their works.
Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) courses have a lot less holidays, because they spent alot of time doing their work. And the results and products they produced were really good as I've seen. SP's DMMT students spend time to scratch the surfaces of the things in their courses. The course hours are too short, too rush and so our resulting assignment products are full of scratches. Not something to be really proud of, really.
Most of the resources are old and obsolete from the old course of Diploma in Software Engineering, revamped to Diploma in Multimedia Technology (DMMT). These cause limitations to develop more advance skills and create better work. Of course in design aspects wise, I agree that SP's DMMT course sucks absolutely throughout Singapore's polytechnics.
Singapore Polytechnic has a long history and it only maintain that for its reputation. SP only develops courses it is famous for and ignored others, like my course of DMMT. Sad case, because something has to be done. SP rather spend so much money on building a not so awesome in architectural design convention centre. Rather than putting money to improve the quality of the courses. I suggest they take off the emblems of whatever ISO certified craps, Singapore Quality Class craps and others relating to terms of quality. SP's vision is lost in space.
