Review for NUS modules sem 2 first year

Hi so these are the modules that I took for the 2nd semester and they are
LAC1201, MS2211, MS2212, SE1101E, EL2201

Alrite so now I am going to do a brief review of these modules. these are only my opinion and some may be bias because I have no interest on the module and just take it for the sake of fulfilling my university requirements..hehe..

LAC1201- Chinese 1
Last Semester I took Hindi 1 and I got a B+ for both my LAC1201 and LAH1201. but if i were to compare learning mandarin and Hindi, I will have to say that it is much tougher to learn Mandarin. I can safely say that learning to speak Mandarin is not as tough as learning how to write because I need to memorise the characters and it can be very difficult to memorise these characters. for my own mother tongue which is Malay, we only use letter just like English and Malay is like a phonetics language which is spelt exactly the same way as it is being pronounced. and this module can be quite time consuming. i will have to say all language modules are since a lot of effort needs to be put in grasping a new language. nevertheless, i will have to say that this module is very beneficial since i live a community which is dominantly Chinese.

MS2211- Criticism in Modern Malay Literature
This module is in Malay so I am going to write this review in Malay. hahah.. baiklah. modul ini adalah mengenai kritikan sastera khususnya sastera melayu singapura. saya harus akur bahawa dalam modul ini saya telah banyak belajar tentang dunia sastera melayu.dan yang lebih penting adalah saya telah mempelajari sastera melayu setempat kita sendiri. saya memang meminati sastera jadi saya rasa kalau saya rajin dan score untuk modul ini pun adalah kerana minat saya dan saya lebih berusaha untuk modul ini especially mid term essay yang saya betul-betul perah otak. tapi saya juga harus memaklumkan bahawa modul ini ada berat sedikit. sastera yang dipelajari juga adalah berbeza daripada sastera yang kita pelajari di sekolah menengah dan maktab. modul ini jauh berlainan dan lebih sukar jadi kalau nak ambil modul ini haruslah rajin dan ada minat dalam sastera :) keseluruhannya saya telah mendapat gred A- untuk sastera. macam saya, minat saya sememangnya dalam bidang sastera dan saya sudah mengambil sastera sewaktu di sekolah menengah lagi. tugasan ini dan peperiksaannya juga dalam bahasa Melayu dan ini lebih memudahkan lagi kerja saya kerana saya lebih fasih bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu. saya boleh tulis apa yang saya nak. kalau bahasa Inggeris ni ada payah sedikit. :) sekian.

MS2212-
This module is in English. In fact, there are 2 chinese students taking this module. basically, we learnt about Muslim Law. I will have to say, out of the 5 modules. this is one of interesting modules. the content is very interesting and taking this module changed a lot of my perception on Islam. (and it makes me confuse too) but still this module makes me think and ponder a lot about Muslim Law. It is interesting for both Muslims and non Muslims to take this module. I got a B+ for this module. Before the exam, the professor will give you hints and here you will have to dig and open your ears big enough because what the teacher hint will definitely be tested.
