NUS mod review II (or III)

ok this sem was decent. but i rly expected much more.

MA3110 Mathematical Analysis II
workload/content: this is core mod for math/applied math majors. not too heavy actually. chapters only 4 or 5 i think. i don't even rly read it that much after the lecture. occasionally. i do think it's quite fun though, interesting to learn about integration. or how it actually works, a little more than i used to know. not just Riemann sums, but inf of upper limit and sup of lower limit. very interesting. also understood Taylor's theorem a little more.
lecturer: prof tang wai shing was ok. very approachable, but perhaps not the most entertaining prof *LOL*. but he's nice because he prints tutorials and homework!!!! so u no need print HAHA.
assessment: constitutes of 4 homework (1 or 2 questions), 2 tutorial presentation, 1 midterms, finals. ok i did pretty decent for midterms, top 12th in the class *LOL* the total class have 30++ ppl. BUT finals was really damn hard *LOL* i died. we all did. even the guy beside me, after finals, we just look at each other and gg alrdy. and prof tang bluff us. he said since so many ppl did badly for midterms, finals will be easy. bullshit. damn hard. but he did give a practise paper, and it was just as hard. i copied EVERYTHING for my cheatsheet, including ALL notes, ALL tutorials and ALL homework. that sick ok my cheatsheet.
expected: A-
achieved: B+ (not sure why leh. midterms ok, but finals damn hard, but damn hard for everybody...)

MA2202 Algebra
workload/content: my favourite math module so far. IT'S super fun it love it so much. and really loved learning about group theory and finally clearly understood the isomorphism theorems. REALLY FUN TAKE IT EVERYBODY.
lecture: prof Loke hung yean explains content very very clearly, through writing out what he posted on the blog. oh there's no lecture notes. there's a blog. so content is on the blog u can print out but i don't. i just copy notes in class, those stuff that's not on the blog. yeah so prof loke writes out stuff from the blog, but it's much clearer and he explains it well. he's also very lame and very weird and has weird sense of humour. he's fairly approachable (fairly because i'd say he still expects a certain proficiency in mathematics so you can't ask stupid questions.. but still approachable and friendly). AND break times are 10-15 minutes. woohoo. and he'll like come talk to us during break time *LOL* he's so good that we're planning to take a level 4000 module he's teaching next sem. OH he also kindly agreed to write my recommendation level omg super nice.
assessment: 5 homework, but very easy. 2 blog posts. midterms were very easy (i was a little unlucky i didn't copy a certain question from tutorial, coz i thought i could reproduce it but i missed out some part. i got 44/50. but many got full marks so.... midterms were fairly easy.). finals not so easy. unpredictable because there's not much pyp for this subject by prof loke. he used to teach algebra S.
expected: A-
achieved: B+

ST2131 Probability
workload/content: i took it as an ST mod to clear fac req. i hate stats, i hate probability but i'm pretty damn good at it. very boring content very stupid very pointless. btw i took sem 1 probability. there's a diff between sem 1 and sem 2; sem 1 most applied math/math so it's more proving apparently but no just more computation leh. sem 2 mostly applied math/stats, so apparently very easy. finals was mcq wth????
lecturer: prof lou jian hua lectures very well but content very boring la. he also has a lot of quotes/wisdom on life that he imparts in lectures *LOL* it's rly very *lol*. he asked if we all read some chinese poem or not **lol**. and almost made us stand up for singapore during national day period. wth. also, if he's you tutorial teacher that's good. pay attention in tutorials, because a lot of the questions he goes through will come out. or the same concept behind it like the graph drawing will come out. no breaks in lectures btw.
assessment: 40% midterm, 60% finals. i think it's good, so i don't have to bother with homework etc. but tutorials are very long, like 20 questions kind of long. he only goes through 2-4 questions in tut though.
expected/achieved: A/A

CS1010S Programming Methodology
workload/content: very heavy workload, not so easy content. i easily spent most of my time on this module, because there are deadlines each week. damn shit i hate this piece of shit i spent so much effort then get this score zzzz hate it so much. i do not recommend this, unless u planning to do a CS minor. or you are math major who can juggle very well. because a fair amount of concepts should be sound to math majors.
lecture: idk. i don't go lectures. i just read lecture notes which are useless as well.
assessment: coursemology, midterm, practical, finals, tutorials. all i put in damn a lot of effort, but i didn't study for midterms and finals. like at all i didn't touch it at all, because.. if you did coursemo, you'd understand the concepts etc and you can't rly study for it eh IMO **lol**.
expected/achieved: A/B+ (apparently there's no bellcurve but i don't believe.)

LAJ1201 Japanese I
workload/content: heavy workload, but very fun content. idk i really enjoy it??????? i love it so much. but workload.. actually i think it's decent. you just can't leave it alone for ½ weeks. every week you must touch. if not GG. like.. every week need to memorise vocab for vocab quiz. and memorise dialogue for oral test. and do homework. but i feel it's necessary to be really familiar with the language. additional tip: i use memris app, there's the minna no nihongo topic for japanese, i found it helpful.
lecture: erm compulsory because have lecture quiz. the lecture pace is very fast, and you kind of forced to pay attention because of mic-san. **LOL**.  but not a boring lecture. but i usually very angry in lecture, because the pace is SOOOOO fast, like you don't even have time to copy anything. then they will ask u to go back and revise. then i go lecture for what?! zhenyue had to convince me to stay for many lectures, coz i angry want to zao. *LOL* ( you must understand japanese lectures were my last class on my most tiring day. tuesdays 10-6pm no break. so... it pisses me off hahaha)
assessment: i'm not sure of the breakdown, they don't reveal. but it constitutes tutorial participation, tutorial quizzes, tutorial dialogue performance, homework, attendance, lecture quizzes, midterms, finals. yeah a lot of things, but just do everything you should be fine. plus i found it really fun so, the work wasn't too bad. both my tutorial senseis were approachable and fun. always talk cock with them and they love me. HAHAH. there was once zhenyue and i talk cock with sensei, like for 5 minutes straight just 3 of us talking in the class hahahah like don't care the rest omg damn bad but fun hahah. shirakawa sensei also wrote my recommendation letter very willingly and gladly. she's amazing!!
expected/achieved: A-

as u can see, i expected much higher this semester. but oh wells. i tried. current cap not too bad, 4.27. will keep working hard! but really, this semester, i have a lot of fun, and really enjoyed what i was studying. so happy to be doing math (except probability that's not math), so it was still a good semester. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAN how much joy i feel for math.
