with industry partners? If not, the author is merely using frivolous embellishments and sensationalisations to substantiate what was a lazy claim to begin with.

3. The author tried to add qualitative evidence by bringing up anecdotes - 'I know of personal contacts within SIT faculty... networking with industry partners'. Has the author also reached out to NUS/NTU/SMU faculty to check whether there is similar levels of interaction

that NUS and NTU have started using AI in their teachings. Even more strikingly, SMU has a 100% seminar-style approach as well as group discussions and projects - how is this 'chalk-and-talk'?

2. The author supposed that 'the three older and more established universities tend to take a more traditional and academic approach', and alludes to many lecturers from NUS, NTU and SMU using the 'chalk-and-talk' approach. Yet another simple web search reveals

SMU graduates' employment stands at 93.9% - higher than that of SIT and SUTD (touted by the author). SMU had approximately 1,800 graduates, or less than one-sixth of the combined number for NUS and NTU. I'm surprised a researcher used an aggregated number without due care.

What a very lazy piece of commentary. 1. The comparison is not equitable. QUICK search on google: Employment rates for NUS and NTU, based on GES 2018, stand at 'close to 90%'. These two universities have around 6,000 graduating students each.
