united we stand, together we fall

Dr Farrell threw us a very big spanner yesterday. (must be because Canada didn't make it to the final of Winter Olympics Men's Hockey) For our final assignment the 26 of us are supposed to work together to tackle one question on the Indian Mutiny of 1915. In his words, this is controlled chaos! (reminds me of the climbing term organized mess)

He literally left us to the chaos by leaving us on our own 30 minutes into the tutorial lesson. There are lots of brains in our class, which means lots of ideas. Some suggested mock trial, some suggested blog, some suggested reenactment(which includes the execution of the mutineers. Everyone is keen to shoot Dr Farrell)... glad to say someone took the plunge and went upfront, taking charge of everything. So the end result is, we will be dumping everything into the indian pot for a really massive project.

On the way home Yihao raised something about involvment. If this is a 26 ppl effort, then do all 26 of us get the same grade? He was telling me some tutorial mates had that sian look on their faces... Don't worry, there are always S/U freaks like me around. =)

  • it won't be wasted even if I don't use it... I still have 3 years to go, pretty lots of modules.. I don't mind having more S/U options!

    ouch, wrong mentality

  • how many s/u options do u have?

    For NTU, I'm only allowed to S/U 4 Electives, and I have to take a total of 1 Biz, 1 Science, 3 Arts n Humanities and 3 Unrestricted.

    I won't S/U my unresticted, because I'm planning to take languages with it. But I think the remaining 2 Arts and Sci I will confirm S/U. The Biz one, well Management and Accounts are all numbers, and whatever with numbers, as long as you mug, will score.

  • we have 12 modular credits (MC) worth of S/U. On average a module cost 4 MCs. So pretty much like 3 modules...

    Life in NTU seems much more straight forward than us (that doesn't denote life in either school is easier than the other one), we need to take 1 Singapore Studies, 6 x (General Education Mod + Breadth Mod, ie jam and bread), and 12 MCs of Unrestricted...

    Mugging is tough enough...
