Review on Nus Modules

I am still in my first year in NUS..For the first Sem,these are the modules that I have taken


1) El1101E-I find this module quite interesting especially the lecturer which is Dr Hiramoto. I think she is a very interesting lecturer. At times, she showed us video which makes her lecture more interesting. However, to me, this module is quite dry and contains a lot of technical stuff. The weightage for the mid term and final term is the same which is a bit funny because usually the final term holds a higher percentage for other modules that I take. There is also one affinity group project. Overall, I find this a quite manageable module. Moreover, exams for mid term and final term are also MCQ unlike most of the other FASS modules which requires us to write essay.
2)GEK1041-I took this module because of the university level requirement and because i had no other choice. At first, I thought this module would be easy because I took geography in Junior College and our human geography section includes globalisation. But I was wrong because this was like the most difficult module that I took among the 5. I seriously had no idea about this globalisation thing. Besides, the content does not interest me much.
Moral of the story: Choose your module properly and not because of time table clash/previous knowledge or because there is no other choice.
3)MS1102-At first, I thought that it is going to be a boring module. But I think this is one of the most interesting module that I took. The lecture is very useful and tutorial discussions are also interesting. I realised that there are many things which I do not know about my own community.
4)PL1101E-This is the most interesting module to me. But lectures are quite useless at times. I feel that it is enough if I just read the textbook. That is why SOMETIMES i skip lecture. But I think that you really need to study a lot for Psychology. Sometimes, I feel that students who do well in this module are those that can memorise well.
5)LAH1201-I took Hindi because i watch a lot of Hindi Movies. Hindi lessons are always interesting and it is the most slack module among the 5. Didn't regret taking this module..


I have yet to receive my results..4 more days.
