My 'A' level was horrendous.....


Alot of my days end at 6.30 as well =(

 

[tdwj91]

anyone else has their timetable up already on simconnect? im taking soci and mine is awful end at 6.30 everyday man

I'm taking soci but I end at 630 on 2 days only! How many mods are you taking this sem? I only have 3 mods.. which is abit strange :/

 

[Leenxylavender]

Yup, haha I end on 6.30pm on certain days. However, MTH131 might be waivered for me,(as I`m an A level kid who took H2 math). If so, I`ll not end at 6.30pm at all

What was ur h2 maths grade? Because below E no waiver for mth115. I got an E and mth115 didn't appeared in my timetable leh. But anyway mine end at 6.30pm for most days too. With incredibly large breaks inbetween 11 - 3.30 lol.

they work its stress..
no work full time what stress? going to school mon-fri is norm for eng students.
asian studnts going to states typically load like 18-21 credits or 6-8 classes talk about stress..

Wah 18 - 21 credits? But can cope and get good grades or not? Anyway I haven't started Uni so 5 classes sound like a lot to me! Still need time to do self study and assignments leh.

Well ppl I come across all have gpa of 3.7 or better and all moved on to grad school. Many took up summer classes too.

Such feat not uncommon among scholars most complete Bach in 3 yrs and went on to grad school. U think take relax relax 15-16 credits can finish in 3 yrs.

NUS/NTU, 10 classes ok~~~~

5 classes is very normal for engineering. but ask me take 8 classes in arts/social it is not that stress either.

I did see the timetable for the engineering and science faculty of NUS and NTU students and it is similar to ours, just a little heavier, but it would be similar to the students taking comm in our school, (ending at 6.30pm for 3/4days). Just to state a point that everyone do have their own stress levels and limits, so if you gain extreme satisfaction from comparing you and the other, do continue.

 

[CMromance]

Any ideas if we can add/drop modules/ change classes for first semester ? Feel like changing to morning classes instead of the current ones ending at 630

btw in yellow for the OG camp

Yes stress level all subjective, but aren't u comparing in a way.
Then again finishing class at 6.30pm does not mean the study ended. Comp sci major maybe found in lab on weekends or burning midnite oil at 3-4am.
15 credits typically means 15 hrs of lecture a week, finishing class at 630 doesn't mean study all the way from 9-630 with 1-2hr lunch break a day for 3-4 days

Then again is longer hours equate to higher stress? Mental or body? That's also subjective.

Well .. I corrected your misconception for your sake my dear. Talking about study methods, it is too subjective to a person`s intellectuals or habits blah. I suggest you check out those timetables before you type since it seems that there are many assumptions in what you wrote. Lab sessions are twice a month, on weekdays.

Anyway, i`m in yellow too, and yellow shirts are so difficult to find Btw, guys did your OGL say anything more about the camp, i.e the cost or updated packing list? My OGL only asked me for my shirt size.

 

[seianko]

I wasnt comparing. Engineering always hv a higher stress level due to the amount of assignments to be handed in before the class starts. Stress also comes from limited labs that can be used within a given time frame.

One do not exactly fail a paper for weak english so long u get a proof reader. But one will surely find it stress for weak maths.

Thats where i was coming from.

Lab schedules aft classes is not what u think it is.
And minus away 15 hrs from lab contact classes, man~~ its really walk in the park.

If aperson can feel stress doing 6 classes full time, then she/he may hv to consider is they r even suitable for graduate studies. Cos in real life work life, its equally as bad when comes to stress lvl if not more

 

[seianko]

Lastly i donno u n u dont hv to be that hostile to make urself look good like white knight. U r merely comparing class schedules but you forgot to comprehen the difficulty extend of completing engineering assignments.

I did both. For engine students, sleeping is a extreme luxury. I can slp in peace while being an arts student
