2019 JC1 Dec Holiday Homework

General Tips!

Before you launch into the holidays/ doing your homework, take some time to take
stock of your learning for the year:

 Which subjects do you need to put more effort in? Which specific topics?

 How do you plan to address it during the holidays?

 How do you plan to address it in 2020?

To help with your time management, please note that the estimated time taken for
each assignment has been indicated. If you are spending a disproportionate amount of
time on one assignment/ subject, you might want to:

 Review the lecture notes for the topic and identify areas where you need clarification. Make these areas a
priority for consultation in 2020.
 Seek help from your peers! 
 Move on to other questions/ assignments, then revisit the “problematic” assignment/ subject.
