depends what kind of lecturers you get. like in my case, unfortunately i got 2 of the worst lecturer for math1 and stats 2. thankfully the rest was good. very detailed and patient with their teaching. lesson that i learn, do your research well on which lecturers to pick i.e their style of teaching. And when the timetable registering window opens (like 10am), pls be ready by your computer and spam the log in. i logged in like 1hr later and all the good lecturers / good timings all got booked....

How do you know which lecturers' teaching style are good and are patient with their students? Once being accepted by SIM, there's an orientation before normal classes begin right? During orientation, what is it like? Have to bring anything?

Timetable have to register yourself? As in... Monday to Saturday you choose what day, time and teacher for each module? And I thought the school does that and gives it to each student lol. I think before the timetable registering window open, most students already at home standby!

 

[Zeusor]

which application method is better? online / sent hard copy? i know there's price different but will prefer to know asap that it have been received.

and if submitting hardcopy, can do so on a sat ?

Lecturers? Go dig the other thread abit and you will know which are the goodbetter lecturers. N it depends too. For example Intro got Mr Ting, Mark Harris and Lee Chin Choo teaching, I have friend who like Mr Ting and some who prefer Lee Chin Choo

Orientation? I pon mine...I dun really see the point of going, but since you are international student, I think u might have a different one.

For normal local student yes, we pick our own timetable. But since you foreigner, got some ICA regulation to follow so better check with sim. And foreigner students always get to pick the timetable earlier than local student which is so unfair! U no need to camp with us commoners...

How come we pick timetable earlier than local students? At least local students have friends they know going to SIM together, most international students all solo, go Singapore alone. By the way, you're taking UOL which degree? Got friends in UOL business or management? Any comments from them about their program?

 

[walsly]

i tink we can also create one maths/stats/econs thread hahahaha. everyone can go there n discuss

oh dont worry. if you go to the orientation or student/sport clubs you'll definitely make new friends along the way. and from what i see... they have this foreign student group thingy so dont worry about it

I have no idea why foreign students get to pick 1st...must ask sim.

U will be surprise that there are local students who are loner...like me...

They might have some bonding session for foreigners ba, cuz i always see the indo and vietnam students in groups. Sometimes they are quite noisy

I am from AnF, i do have friend in Biz but not close one.
