TS2243 Taken in: AY20/21 Semester 2 Lecturer: Prof Edna Lim Grading: 20% - Attendance and Participation Group Project Presentation - 10% (Individual Portion) Group Project Presentation - 30% (Group Grade) 20% - Midterm Test 20% - Final Test Note: Lessons were conducted online. I took this module to clear more modules from the film studies basket. I didn't really enjoy this module, honestly, even though the content was interesting. I don't know if I want to pursue film studies anymore actually LOL. This module is mainly about how genres are defined, how they are formed and built upon, and a little about stars and how they play a part in building a genre. Genres were also compared between different cinemas (such as East vs West) I'll start with my gripes: The majority of content is through pre-recorded Prezi and Sway presentations that were made YEARS ago (I think the Prof said she wanted to update them, but it didn't happen t...

GEH1040 Taken in: AY20/21 Semester 2 Lecturer: Prof Ho Chee Kong and Prof Stella Grading: Group Work 10% - Initial Presentation 5% - Progress Report 35% - Final Submission Individual Work 10% - Draft of Musical 10% - Literary Devices Assignment 10% - Musical Presentation 20% - Weekly Journal This is a module about musicals offered by YST convservatory of music, originally for (Raffles?) hall students, but opened up to external students.

NM2207 Taken in: AY20/21 Semester 2 Lecturer: Prof Lonce Wyse Grading: 15% - Tutorial Participation 15% - Midterm Quiz 20% - Final Quiz 15% - Homework Assignments 35% - Final Project Note: Classes were conducted entirely online this semester. NM2207 is an introduction to HTML, CSS, and Javascript, packaged neatly in a module that will get you familiar in 13 weeks. You will probably take this module if you're pursuing a minor in IMD, and it's generally a nice module to learn about front-end development. By the way, don't be daunted that you're learning technically three languages. These 3 go hand-in-hand so you don't normally have one without the other two. Each week, there is a tutorial session where you will gather with your classmates to tackle a coding challenge for the day, and your tutor will be there to go through with you. In place of lectures, you will be expected to watch a code-along video which teaches you the...
