AY 21/22 Y4S1 Review

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.  Also, the prof only uploaded the slides without annotations (after a few weeks) as some students feedbacked to him, but I h...

About Me

I write blog reviews of the modules I take in NTU CBC after each semester in an attempt to let my juniors be more prepared and know more about the courses they will be taking. May start posting about other content in future as well!

AY20/21 Y3S1 Review

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  🤞 🙏💪...

So, I underloaded the last sem due to a rather unsuccessful course registration that messed up my plans lol so I ended up taking only 15AUs.  BUT, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because the mods I took this sem were quite content-heavy/heavy workload.  Will underloading manage to pull up my GPA?  I don't think so, but at least it won't drop significantly (I hope) hahah 😂 Oh and because my friends and I took different combinations of yr3 mods last sem, so we went into this sem with tips from the last sem.  Thus, in a way, we are better prepared to tackle the content which is awesome 😉 Oh, & I'm playing around with the blog themes so don't be surprised that the blog will look different from time to time lol Side note: I somehow ended up writing a super long review this sem idk why hahah CM3021 - Organometallic Chemistry | CORE | 3AU | A 5 Online Quizzes, 5 MCQs each (5%): 5% 6 Pre-Tutorial & Tutorial (10%) 5 Reflections (10%) Midterm 1 (25%): 40/...
