Took 4 MPEs this semester, with a total of 12 AUs only, which should be very manageable right, considering the fact that I took 21 AUs back in year 1, but omg, I don't know why it didn't feel any easier 🙃 Maybe it's because I'm getting older and my brain isn't as competent anymore or something HAHAH Side note: ended up writing quite a long review again this sem hahah & I can't seem to find good reviews for the mods I've taken this sem, so really hope my review helps! :) CM4012 - Structural Determination | CORE | 3AU | B+ Part 1 (50%): 4 Homeworks (5 marks each, 20%): 20/20 Quiz 1 (10%): 8/10 Quiz 2 (20%): 16/20 Part 2 (50%): 5 Online Quizzes (5%) 5 Pre-tutorials (10%) 5 Reflections (10%) Midterm (25%): 39/60 [Average: ~36/60] Part 1 was conducted via recorded PowerPoint slides which was quite annoying as you cannot speed it up.

Midterms are easy and most of the cohort did really well. Finals was a mixture of easy and tricky questions. Just try not to be careless. some questions required knowledge taught in JC that was not taught in uni, so that threw some of us off guard. The lab is still pairwork. There are 5 experiments in total, conducted once every 2 weeks. We were split in 5 groups per lab session and each group does a different experiment. Meaning even if you get into the same lab session as your friends, you may still end up not doing the same experiment as them. Overall, I would say th...
