ERPZ Stop Mugging. Start Learning.

Clutter Free

By Kevin

Clearing the Mess

It was time ERPZ did a bit of reworking of the site. Hopefully by the end of August we'll have a new theme, and with better navigation for our expanding pool of materials.

There is thoughts of compiling an eBook on Project Work. There's some rethinking about the format of writings; current affairs musings by Kevin may simply stop and be channeled back to his personal blog and ERPZ will focus on education and advice. We might be running a poll on it so check out our facebook page for more updates on that. Make sure you 'Like' us.

We really hope to start a community and we need a team to work on this. Please write to us on the contact form if you believe you can contribute in any ways!

Facebook Page?

By Kevin

Some readers might have realised, there's now a Facebook page for ERPZ.net! With so many companies and brands going on to facebook for marketing and awareness-raising, ERPZ.net can't possibly just stand by. The page serves more to micro-blog by alerting fans to interesting news and fact tidbits that might be useful for General Paper as well as other subjects.

So go ahead and 'like' us!

Pseudo Updates

By Kevin

Some updates on the website that I don't even consider worth mentioning but this is just an excuse to write something on the ERPZ blog. We've removed the clunky banners in the front page and stop being long-winded about what ERPZ has to offer. It's an obvious treasure trove. Hopefully once my examinations are over I could make a Facebook page and possibly a Twitter so we can have a 'Like' button or something - an effort to keep up with times.

One of our readers requested for history notes at A Levels and I'm scrambling to look for resources and materials to collate but sadly I'm finding it difficult to find resourceful history students (no offense!) so I'm calling out for anyone with brilliant self-compiled, digitizable materials to come forth by filling up out contact form so that your materials will be distributed over ERPZ. Rest assure that you will be credited and that putting up your materials on ERPZ ensures you benefit the greatest number of peers and juniors.

We are also looking for any budding writers who wish to do writing for ERPZ! You should hopefully:

• Enjoy writing and discussing a variety of topics and issues from multiple angles
• Have a meaningful agenda of educating peers, juniors, motivating and encouraging the spirit of learning
• Be open-minded to criticisms and very balanced in thought and arguments

Once again, fill up the contact form and we'll reach you. When we get the facebook going we'll also hope to recruit administrators and people who would help us do some promotion over their statuses and just plainly liking it so that word about our resources would get out. In June, I would hopefully be able to publish a latest edition of Singapore economic review based on latest news, policies and statistics on the economy. And it will be a material mainly for A Levels students to update their current affairs for discussion in essays.

Home Update

By Kevin

I seriously doubt anyone would notice this but I updated the text on the homepage of the website. Hopefully we'll get down to a serious overhaul of the entire website theme. It's getting a little old. Meanwhile, check out the concept of 'counterfactual history' and then that of Counterfactual reasoning. It's not only going to help you think about history, events but also how well an argument stands.

A Levels Results

By Kevin

ERPZ congratulate all A Level graduates who have done well in the A Levels this time. It's the time of the year to work on scholarship and university applications again. We hope you'd find our articles on college matters useful! Alternatively, if there are resources you wish to direct my attention to, please fill it up in the contact form so I can share with everyone!

Meanwhile, there's much news about the activism and 'uprisings' in North Africa in particular and these would serve as good materials for writing about media, democracy, masses in GP. The academic approach would be to take a position, consider the events and use them to support your arguments about the importance of freedom, or how big change arises.

GP Section!

By Kevin

In an effort to increase the relevance of ERPZ to A Levels students, you now have a 'General Paper' Section under Resource to catalogue entries in the blog that is relevant to GP so that you can find the stuff you need faster. There is also the 'GP Arguments' series coming up, but it'll not be consistent in its release so just stay around ERPZ often to make sure you don't miss out any.

Following the survey of ERPZ, there might be some changes on the main page. The current layout emphasizes a lot on functionality and access rather than aesthetics. I hope to be able to change that a little.

Maths Stuff

By Kevin

Mathematics resources are finally here at ERPZ.net. Maths is a subject where you really have to practice a lot so we're providing only some aid with your typical practices and also notes that summarizes the concepts in the H2 Mathematics syllabus in A Levels.

ERPZ.net Survey

By Kevin

Thanks for everyone's support of ERPZ.net so far. Our visits have risen substantially in the past couple of months. We're hoping to improve the site experience and the materials on ERPZ.net. We've prepared a survey to gather feedback on what needs to be improved and hope visitors could just spend some time completing this short survey for us.

Your responses would contribute to the future development of ERPZ.net.

Essays Expanded!

By Kevin

ERPZ is committed to being a top A Levels Resource site for students but so far our niche have always been with the Social Sciences. The main reason is that materials for the sciences are always available through Wikipedia and science knowledge are largely fixed, duplicated across guidebooks and textbooks. We welcome students who would be interested to contribute notes for sciences and other areas still not covered by ERPZ. We'll continue to expand and provide more aids to our readers.

On the other hand, the social sciences exhibit higher variability in terms of specific knowledge and students often struggle because there is no 'standard answers' to follow.

ERPZ do not attempt to give you standard answers but offers suggestions on how you might be able to do your writing so that you will be able to achieve better scores. It would be good if students can master the essay organization, structure and style that will help to present depth of knowledge and sophistication in thinking. Therefore, we've expanded the essay section, adding another 10 Economics essays. We've renamed the page and also reformatted the presentation of the essays; the essays are all by ERPZ editor, Kevin. If you've found the essays useful, please tell your friends about ERPZ and let more people benefit from these writings.
