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...

I am hoping to maintain my GPA next sem! CM1021 - Basic Inorganic Chemistry with Laboratory | CORE | 4AU | A- Midterm CA1 (15%): 10/10 (average: 8. 27/10) Midterm CA2 (15%): 13/15 (average: 12.25/15) Lab (20%) Finals (50%) This module is basically like JC H2 Chemistry with some new content like Molecular Orbital Theory, which is easy once you get the hang of it, practice makes perfect. I did not quite understand it during lectures but going for tutorials certainly helped. For midterms, doing past year papers (PYP) will help familiarize yourself with the format of the exam, as they do not vary that much. Also, since it is a relatively easy modu...
