fresh updates: talk, advice and feedback

1. Sharing Session on Conservation of Historic Districts / Buildings
FRI. 10 July / LT 2.
3.30-5pm

I travelled to HK recently and took away some interesting pictures and reflections on conservation methods invested there. Do attend if you are keen.


2. Basic Expectations in Vetting and Consultation
Pls do not send anything to me (esp drafts to organisations) for vetting until you've done your part to revise the standard, format and protocol as listed in pw Raffles Connect. I am receiving bad drafts of very poor quality. Some even got the name of the college wrong! Please do not subject your tutor to these needless tasks.

3. Working with External Organisations
A complaint has been lodged by an external organisation about students' poor etiquette in making interview requests. Please be polite and learn to accept NO for an answer. Be gracious. Say thank you and look for an alternative source. This is real-world learning in the flesh. Safeguard the reputation of the college at all times. 'Thank-you...sorry...excuse me' are words with eternal value. Intellectual aggression and poor EQ get you nowhere.
