| well, there are not very many UK unis that singaporeans go to. if you're doing science you go to cambridge, if you're doing engineering you go to imperial, if you're doing econ you go to oxford/LSE/UCL. oxbridge has a unique tutorial system (although supplement with lotsa effectively optional lectures), and most of my friends in UK are doing econ, so let's just say that i'm talking about LSE and UCL. as for science courses... yeah i guess you can't skip practicals... but surely you can skip lectures? heck, i lost count of the number of physics lectures i skipped back in jc... i went to chem only because the chem lecturers are marginally better... |
