Mr. David Chew really is creative. Happened in ST2131 last year when he's course coordinator, and he came up with tutorial assignments, and lowered down the finals to 60% I think.

Come to think of it, group projects are meant to help us, Singaporeans especially, since the ATs only knows how just to mug. But 15% is just too little for the efforts put in. I thought he might put 25% project and 50% finals instead.

I did it for the whole of 4years.. i duno swap how many times riao

i scared moi final year they clash then i gg riao cos no more mods to take

Last year could always appeal one la. Heard alot of cases where you can do papers back-to-back. Wells, if you're in your final year already hopefully your CAP is stablised .

Been waiting to take DSC2006 since Year 2, but it's neither here clash or there clash, and I'm on SEP now - die die would have to take in Yr 3 Sem 2 instead then. Oh wells, **** does happen, really, but it's better for me than to do some UE mods which are practically useless for me in the future.

Hey guys,

Balloting Iteration 1 is not for us right?

Hey guys,

Balloting Iteration 1 is not for us right?

From NUS - Centralised Online Registration System (CORS)

Iteration 1 is conducted for ECE, Career Centre, and selected Physics Level-1000 modules.

Hi seniors! I would like to seek some advices from you guys!

Is it advisable to take ST2132, ST2137, ST3131 and ST3234 all together? Am i going to kill myself?
My other 2 modules are einstein(PC) and UTU(gem). Thinking of overloading.

Hope for awesome advices!!!! Thanks!

Lol you are also quite senior le. i am only taking st2132 and st3131 this sem.

Hmm i think statistic major dont really have alot of cores mod to fulfill if not counting yr4. i left only 9 cores for 4 sems. kinda fierce to chiong so many core in one sem.

UTU is understanding universe? If so, den both Einstein and UTU will have project whcih can be quite time consuming, few thousand words report for Einstein (and u might need to read quite abit for ideas/knowledge/facts) and 1 group report and 1 individual report for UTU. not forgetting ST2137 have projects also.. altho i dunno wat the project is about.

And u sld have heard today.. the lecturer said ST2132 is goin to be a killer mod and need to spend some time on practicing also.. so i think it will be quite shag to take ur combination esp for second part of the sem when u need to start handing up ur reports..

Er just attended st3131 lecture ytd. haha its AT lecturer whose pronounication is abit powderful. not too bad la. i think he did not mention if it is webcasted not.

I also taking st2132 and st3131... but lazy to go
dun think the st3131 webcasted ba... only st2132, but take so long to upload. :x
if tiong accent, sibei sian dunno whether can understand.

Yea man 8am lecture is rather xiong. Haha I think st2132 de webcast up liao. Saw it jus now. He said wil normally take around 3 working days to upload. 2132 not tiong. Lol but st3131 de lecturer accent tiong gao gao sia. Can understand la. Jus need abit of imagination lo

Think I drop ST3131 and take next sem ba... Tiongs always like theory, no application stuff de. Why Sci so crowded and so many tiongz de?!

 

[mgx-alander]

sai fac full of tiongs in maths, stats and phy..

less in chem and life sai

 

[Rusty89]

Yarloz. 2132 and 3131 like abit fast. need to refer to old notes and textbook liao sia. sigh. bo bian leh. maths and sci tiong gao gao sia. everytime go tutorial feel like minority.

 

[mgx-alander]

LCH always very fast 1, st2334 he also lidat.. got ppl kp then he slow down abit

 

[Darkzi0n]

yea loh.. sometimes beo-ing xmm halfway den suddenly chingway finish tokin about something liao... need to checkout the second webcast once it is out liao

 

[Rusty89]

Hey sorry think this is a rather noob question. but is textbook needed for st2132 and st3131? did u guys buy them?

To all my fellow stats juniors, I am a Year 4 student now. I think there is a need to clarify some misconceptions.

1) Yes there are a lot of PRCs in stats/maths/phys, but at level 1 and 2 modules, the proportion is still manageable. When you reach level 3 and 4 modules, you will realise the true meaning of minority, when you only see locals filling up the fringes (back) of the lecture theatre. Especially in stats mods, a lot of locals graduate without honours, and hence the concentration of PRCs in 4k modules is really daunting.

2) IMO, their edge expires when you progress up the modules. They only possess a comparative advantage over locals in lower level modules as they have the discipline to mug hard for them. When you reach 3/4k modules, suddenly the amount of content is much less but the difficulty can be placed much higher depending on the lecturer. More often than not, the field will equalize here since at this stage hardwork no longer translate to results.

3) Plan your modules carefully, if you are more interested in modeling and simulation take modules there are plenty of such regression and model analysis modules. On the other hand, modules like mathematical stat, stochastic processes are really more probabilistic in nature than statistic but you cannot really venture deep into applied probability without studying probability and measure theory till you attain proficiency.

Just my two cents of thoughts.
