Thinking if i shld collect tmr also. Bcos i think the queue on OD will be crazy with all the jan 2019 part timers collecting their stuff together lol

Got things to collect meh?????

Can go to student portal -> course materials content checklist -> respective faculty and see if there is any textbook or reading to be collected. SUSS is shifting toward e-textbook from 2019, so alot of the modules no longer give out physical textbook.

If wanna buy phyiscal textbook, can go Canvas -> iBookstore to order your physical textbook. Have to wait till your module load onto Canvas first before you can do so.

E-Textbook is also located at iBookstore, can create a VitalSource Bookshelf account and sync e-textbook to VitalSource Bookshelf desktop apps or mobile apps.

Knn engrish beri impt meh chao suss

Students in NUS/SMU/NTU need to take a Qualifying English Test too if they don't have a B4 in English for O levels. They have to take an additional language course if they fail the test too. So yes, English is very important and such a test requirement is not unique to SUSS.

In fact I find it interesting.

Like for myself as an example, I’ve completed a local part time dip but because I ain’t got O Level English (N level grad here) and have to go through the entire process.

Kinda find it like “going through process” kind of procedure.

All the best man. Took me some time too

The quizzes are easy, albeit can be quite tricky if not carefully read... The essay, on the other hand, requires more critical thinking. Should you agree or disagree or both? Explain your thesis: who, why, what and how... Then have to be careful for grammar, vocabulary... Does the sentence make sense? Is it active or passive? And that's like small percentage of Academic Writing...

At least you have the etextbook. My friends at NUS/NTU have been buying all the textbooks themselves because no textbooks are provided regardless of electronic or physical. The textbooks you find online are different from the etextbooks we get. Those are just pdf files but the etextbook have a variety of links and activities in the textbook that are useful for learning. You don't have to be vulgar for being more entitled than others.

LOL! Distracted by the girls... BLK D Is sports Hall. Level 1 theatre, level 2, basketball court, level 3 place where students chill out and study in peace (but not comfortable), level 4 tennis court. BLK C, I haven't totally explore but there's a garden rooftop there. Now must use access card. But very nice for photography... Can see Army Camp. Hmm... What else... Gym at block A. Not sure it's still there.... And if school is too packed, we go to Blk E(Extra aka Ngee Ann Poly and hijack one of that tutorial classrooms.... What else...
