Intro to Computing
I so want to blog about this module.
Another IT1001 presentation ended today, and for the first time ever, I totally played no part in a 15% presentation. Well this was because our group had two 15% presentations, and so we split the work up. Guessed it worked out quite ok. Considering that I wouldn't have the time to have prepared for today's presentation if we didn't split the work up, it was good.
Something nice happened. Our group couldnt really finish our presentation on time, so we were kinda stopped right at our last slide, which was conclusion. And guess what? During the Q & A session, this guy from another group popped the question of "so what is the conclusion?" That actually allowed my friend to finish up the conclusion, without having to worry about going over time. I was really thankful to that guy, eventhough that may not guarantee saving us any marks. Haha the thing was that, his group also got stopped halfway, so I did the exact same thing, and popped a question to allow him to finish his last slide. To be honest, I have seen how the competitiveness in NUS can be so cruel and ugly. But today, a small gesture of mutual help and kindness to save each other's group during presentation was just a great to see. If only it were always like that.
Well when I took this module at the start of the semester, I was kinda hoping to actually score, hearing how relatively easy it was. Although right in the back of my mind I knew that easy to score modules were always going to much harder to score, I somehow knew that getting decent grades was definitely still possible. Furthermore, I heard that this module was pretty slack, so I was thinking even if I didn't score, I would still be able to use this module to lighten my semester load, and perhaps S/U the module (like how I used it for sem 2). One good reason for why I wanted to save my S/Us.
However, it turned out that the module had more work than I thought. Eventhough I missed a bulk of lectures, which gave me a free day, the assignments were more than I hoped for. And it didn't help that all assignments were group projects and presentations, meaning the hassle of meeting up again and again and again. We had one project website, project presentation, two other group presentations, and now before the final exam, we actually have to attend some second life discussion, and another ivle forum discussion, so as to get the necessary marks. Not to mention, forum participation also holds some marks. And yes, there is still a final paper! So much for this module lightening my semester work load.
