13 weeks has passed, time really flies and a lot of things happen during this semester, good things and bad things as well, although not much of a bad thing happen during this semester.
This semester was quite an interesting semester for me because due to the modules that I took this semester are very interesting.
The modules that I have took this semester are:
1) Computer networking CS2105
2) Information Management System IS3101
3) Service Science IS3220
4) Business Communication IS2101
5) Politics and Governance in Singapore GEK2003
For computer networking, the content is a bit dry and also there are programming assignment required to be done for this module, which is socket programming, where I do not have any experience in. Although it is tough, but I did not give up and tried my best to do every single assignment without much help from the others as this is a better way for me to learn rather than asking others for help. Unique right?!
Overall this module is quite interesting cause you get to know how each protocol works and understand the high level of computer networking.
For Information Management System, this is also rather interesting as I get to know in depth stuff of Information System in the real world. Although it is quite similar to one of the previous module that I have took, IS1105, but this is more in depth. We also have a group presentation which I think we did well in handling the topic that we were given which is Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in healthcare sector. It is quite fun as we did a skit in our presentation.
For Service Science, initially I took this module just because I left with no choice but to take this to satisfy my 5 modules per semester quota. The reason is because before I took this module, I have zero interest in service science field. On top of that, due to the high bidding score for this module, I only have a some group of friends taking this module and most of them had already formed their own group.
Then I thought that "Ahhhh I have to work with people I do not know, and 100% of this module comes from group presentation and idea/concept that the group come out with". After the first lecture, my thoughts that I have came out to be untrue. I formed myself a very best team that I had and we did pretty well together as we do not have unnecessary conflict or argument during the discussion. As I conclude that this team is one of the "dream team" that I ever had in NUS.
Well I hope that my future project group teammate will be as good as the team I had for service science. Hope so....
Business communication is one of the so called "English" module for me and of course whenever English is concern, I have big headache for it. Cause I am not strong in English language. However, I take this mod to brush up my presentation skills as I understand that one of my major weakness is presentation and this module act as a platform for me to improve my presentation skills which will benefit me for my future.
Last but not least is Politics and Governance in Singapore, is the GEM that I took for this semester. I took this module is because i have interest in it but have no knowledge in it. Get what I meant? Means I am Noob in this area lol. Taking this module has really help me understand a lot about politics and slightly in depth on the history to the present with regards to the politics issue. Although I understand that I will not score well in this module probably the so called last 20% of the bell curve, however, I have no regret since I get to learn more about Singapore politics which I believe that university student should know more about the politics matters in Singapore. The lecture and the tutorial are really interesting and there is debate as well for the tutorial where we will get into group and each week there will be an opposition and a proposition team to discuss on certain matter which put up by the lecturer to be discuss in the tutorial. This is a rather interesting concept as students has to do their own research and then do a debate on the topic given.
Overall this semester is really fun and interesting well hope the same thing applies to me as well for the next semester which I doubt so since there's Math module that I need to take. Oh well.... But before this semester ends, I still have 3 exams to go for. Well best of luck to everyone who is taking exams!
