Revolving stars

A private comment on Google+ made me thought of writing this. =P I took this module in 2011 with Dr John DiMoia as the lecturer. He is a very quirky fun guy to have as a lecturer and he showed us quite a few videos during the lectures to perk us up =D Of course, everyone wants to know how the workload is like for this module. I feel that there is not much readings compared to the other history modules (but it might still be overwhelming for people from other faculties Idk) I enjoyed going for the lectures very much and some of the tutorials are spent outside of school where we toured biopolis and TCM in AH. Maybe that's why I don't remember much about his tutorials. Haha. Unlike Peter Borschberg's lessons where answering questions is a terror in itself. Okays I admit that was not a hardworking student. The exam questions are quite cool in in my opinion. I remembered doing a question that was remotely like this, "Imagine yourself being transported to a hospit...

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

This is the time of the year when all my posts about NUS modules are flooded with visitors. I guess it's good time to do a belated review of it huh. (Pardon me if my memory is not too good) I remember this module as one of the highest ever bidded module for me. The lecture and tutorial are both held in NUH itself, and it was one of the rare times that I actually went to NUS so many times in a sem. The lecturer is an Indian gynecologist, and he told us about his life story as well as went through the lecture notes. He made a lot of adult jokes though. Lecture notes are easy to read and understand. I actually still keep some of them for reference. The mid-term assignment was an essay (something like a sociology question, if you know what I mean) Overall, I think that it's an easy module. The problem is, whether you have enough points to bid for it.

I'm perfectly happy with my GEK1545. It's hilarious and interesting, and I would grade is up there with TS1101E. Everyone should take it! And, I have finally sent the email to fas, to ask whether I can do the module conversion. If not, I probably have to take 1 more module so as to fulfil the graduation requirement.

It makes me glad that I'm not living in some trenches now. Somehow, today's lecture renewed my interest in history, and I hope it'll stay.

Kind of celebrated dss's birthday in clubrm. I guess I'm nt that good at organising stuff? HAHA. cuz we ended up sitting and chatting abt nth, and just doing some stupid stuff. I got my gek1545 mod for almost 900 points. Not too bad. So at the end of this sem, I just need to go and convert the philo mod to my arts gem and I can grad liao. Hmm.. I hope everything can go according to plan.

LAM3201 - Malay 3 HY3252 - From Tropical Medicine to Bioscience TR2201 - Entrepreneurial Marketing HY3206 - East Asian International Relations GEK2025 - Politics of Middle East HY2241 - Why history? GEK1545 - An insight into reproductive health To take my malay mod, I have to reshuffle almost all my mods. Sian. But I think it's worth it, because Cikgu Sew is teaching Malay 3 this coming sem! Yay! Just in case any of u guys want to take the modules that I'm taking, you're more than welcome to do so =) Though I seriously doubt anyone will be crazy enough to do so.

HY2253 - Christianity in World History HY3241 - Religion in the history of China and Japan LAM2201 - Malay 2 LSM1301 - General Biology NUR1113/GEM1901/SSM1206 - Active ageing in Singapore I'm quite happy to get HY2253 since it's Prof Lockhart teaching again. And apparently, there's a few pple whom I know taking this mod too, even though I don't know some of them very well. HY3241 is kinda scary about thinking about it, since I totally have no clue about China and Japan (yes, even though I have studied the language, I have not touched much on its history). And with Mark in it, I think it's a clue that it's not going to be easy... (I always score badly for the mods that I take with him. No idea why also) LAM is cool! From the class roster, it seems that there's only 12 pple taking it. Anyway, malay is something that I have always wanted to learn, so it won't be so bad, I guess. LSM1301 is going to kill me for sure. I have no experience with it at all, ...
