2. They are always late in group meetings or work. Even on internships, they will still be late. Most of them are hardly contactable, a sms takes a few days for them to reply.
3. They are mainly invisible despite your meetings and discussions not being held at night. Invisible means ‘completely absent’.
4. They always make you think that they can do a lot of work but they hardly produce anything. And when you question them for their work, they will find ways to procrastinate. And finally in the end, they will brush off your queries with a universal answer of “I dunno how to do” or “I tried many many times, but the stuff just din work“.
5. They always apply for banks for their internships and also after they graduate. Because banks don’t give stringent technical interviews and assessments, these IIs always managed to bypass their interviews with ease. That explains why banks have been losing a lot of money in the past few years because their HR hasn’t been able to carefully filter off those IIs.
6. They are the champions of plagiarism. This is exceptionally common when your course syllabus hardly changed. Those IIs are the most ingenious in taking the same work from their seniors and later claiming it to be their own. It is sometimes amazing when professors in universities can be fooled by such work all the time. This is especially dangerous in group work and reports as there is a plagiarism check software used by the school. If you see your report plagiarism check reaching 30%, most likely you have such an academic poison in your group. But usually students won’t have access to such plagiarism reports until they have handed in their work.
7. They love to claim credit for things that they didn’t do (otherwise known as Smoking) and backstabbing their partners are a common sight. I saw it happening among 2 IIs who grouped together for a project. Both practically did nothing. At the day of the assessment, their final project was not completed. And 1 II was blaming the other II for not doing anything and also claiming credit for the work he done. From a technical point of view, the only thing that the II did was claiming credit.
8. Birds of the same feathers flock together. When you see an academic poisonous II with other groups of IIs, that group of IIs should be academic poisons as well. The theory behind this is that, it is potentially difficult for any academic poison to find non-academic poisonous friends.
9. They love to be leaders. Well, the reason behind this is that, most IIs know that some coursework gives extra credit to the leader. Whereas most Singaporeans understand this fact, however they would not want the job due to the responsibilities it holds. Whereas for an academic II, he/she usually put their grades above their responsibilities. They see individual grades much more important than the performance grading of the whole group. They will screw up the whole team and often pushing the responsibility to their ‘incapable’ members. Some IIs think that being a leader is equivalent to a king. A king usually doesn’t need to do anything other than ordering people around, that’s how some II students behave.
10. They usually skip tutorials, labs, lectures and usually they skip in groups. You never know if they went for a mass orgy session together. They seldom attend lab sessions since they always got their own sources of unoriginal work.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
