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.

This semester had a shift in assessment weightage. CORE modules weightage in past semesters had been 40% CA and 60% Finals, but this semester was 60% CA and 40% Finals. To me, it has its pros and cons. Pros are that studying for finals was not as stressful as the 60% CA has more or less determined your grade. Cons are that the workload during the semester increased with many graded assignments/homework which I was not used to so that definitely increased the level of stress for me. Overall, I would say this semester was okay because the CORE mods I took was not the difficult ones, I am expecting my GPA to increase slightly (results ain't out yet) so that it can cushion the potential drop in my GPA next sem. Because I have to take the difficult mods next sem which means my grades are likely to plummet 🙃 I also joined a new CCA with quite a high commitment level, so I hope I will be able to manage both my studies and CCA well 🤞 🙏💪...
