Which examines you the ability to solve real problem rather than recite textbooks and PYP

My supervisor once gave an example of a student who's CAP is 3.99 (4 max) and failed to complete his FYP in 4 years. He changed a few supervisors and FOE gave him a special extension of 1 year of study (normal students can only extend his study for the maximum of 2 years) and he still failed it. My supervisor said this student is good at finding "shortcuts" and reciting past year paper, but not at all good at understand complex issues, nor have the perseverance or patience to complete some relatvie simple but tidous task.

Frankly speaking it is very common that the students with the highest CAP are not the best students in the practical world. Loot at the the NUS course structure: Will Einstein get A for sth like Law and Human Resource Management?

He can decide you pass or fail. Evaluator can only "fine tune" your score.

Supervisor is the person who knows your project and performance best other than yourself. Evaluators usually will show some respect to them and grade accordingly. Moreover, if you knows that there is a big difference between the grading of your supervisor and evaluator, you can appeal, and this will cause some severe problem if the evaulator can not provide enough justification for his/her low grade. Thus usually evaulator(s) won't rish themselves to challenge supervisors decision unless they can find major flaws (e.g. major theoretical flaw, fake data or copying) in your report/presentation.

Chosing a good project and shape it to fit oneself or shape onself to fit it is a part of FYP itself. If it is a fixed-topic, fixed-supervisor project it will be a course project, not FYP.

Anyway final year students should be able to be dominate on how his/her project goes and what's he/she will achieve rather than let the supervisor tell him. Real world after he/she graduate will be full of "projects" with few "courses" no matter he/she takes academic or industrial career path. Those who can not cope with projects well have higher chances to suffer in the real life.

Thus why I agree that FYP is at least as important as CAP.
