News: Tests over! Now ACE?!

After the recent test week, tests are now over. However, now is time to spam ACE. After the 5 day-long test week, now is a 1 day long ACE spamming. Many people found out that the ACE deadline is tomorrow only recently. There have been several feedback:
Student A---"What? I haven't even started on ACE yet!"
" B---"Woah, you must be joking..." (carries on to play halo)
Student C---"Lucky 'cheong' ace finish liao, June Holidays already do" (carries on to do some more ACE)
Teacher A---"No one hand up ACE yet... This week my inbox would be spammed." ( :( )

However after the smb message was posted:

Dear Boys,
It has come to my notice that some of you have not been able to hand in Term 3 ACE work on time for your teachers to grade. As such they will not be able to key in ACE marks for you next Monday. As this is the first year we're running the new ACE system, it has been decided that you will be allowed to submit ACE work to teachers, for subjects you've opted for this term, till next Friday (27 Aug 2010, 1330).

Your teachers will grade your work and only key in your marks in term 4.

Please do not impose on your teachers to mark what you submit after the deadlines they have set this term so as to get the marks entered next Monday.

Your submissions by next Friday will not be considered for exemption and will only be entered in Term 4. You can only submit ACE for subjects you have opted for Term 3.

Many people started to slack.

Student A: "Phew, mass halo time!"
Student B: "I told you it was a joke" (continues to play halo) "Yeah fuel rod gun"
Student C: "Zzzz... make me do all for nothing, time to relax!" (runs to do homework)
Teacher A: "Yeah, now got one more week to receive the spam mail"

Therefore, we can conclude that having the ACE deadline after tests is bad. :)

  1. Didn't really catch the humour. :/

    I believe it is our responsibility to complete the ACE by the deadline. I'm sure most of us know the deadline is approaching, if not the actual date. In fact, we already know from the start of the term that we have to work on ACE. Why wait till the last minute and then start frantically mass doing ACE? This isn't beneficial to both the student and the teacher, who might have to stay up late just to mark all the late ACE submissions, just to input them into the system before it closes.

    This is really unfair for the teacher. Instead of wasting time playing at the start of the term, we should try to finish our ACE. This way, you will be able to rest after the tests.

    Cheers!
