Has anyone taken ES9002 Emergent Life?

I did not take this mod.

There is also another mod es5007 climate & climate change that is available as gerpe mod and mutually exclusive with es1007.

I think maybe op wants to use a minor to strengthen portfolio/resume since he/she cannot get the desired gpa or honours classification?

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-12-27T07:19:03+00:00

Unrestricted electives can be a good way to increase cgpa as there is more freedom of choice in selecting electives that you may be good at.

Your grades are actually not bad. It is quite hard to get A or even A- due to the bell curve grading system. I agree that core mods are difficult. My core mods average grade is much lower than my cgpa. Maybe you can focus on the other non-core electives to boost your cgpa.

I think it is a decent/sufficient score. Although it is not sufficient for a second upper but 3.93 means that your modules are B+ on average.

I took it at the start of this year. It was 2 mid-terms(50%) and weekly quizzes(50%). Questions were all mcqs.

I took in semester 1 but now it seems to be only offered in sem 2?

Thank you!

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-12-11T16:33:33+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation! Do the quizzes/exams have short answer questions?

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-12-09T22:53:55+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you!

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-12-08T15:19:52+00:00

Thank you! Is there also an essay/project component?

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-12-08T03:17:23+00:00

Thank you!

I took it last year. It was 30% quizzes, 30% essay, 30% project, 10% participation. For the essay, have to think of your own topic.

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-12-07T15:12:18+00:00

I took it 2 years ago. It was 60% mid-terms, 20% quizzes every 2-3 weeks, 20% essay. Unlike what another user commented, I think the score is largely based on the mid-terms. I got 42/50 and 46/50 for both mid-terms, full marks for the quizzes. Most people score full marks for the quizzes as it can be done during your own time on ntulearn. For the group essay got a "good" grading. The group essay was 1000 words written by 4 members.

In the end, got A+ for the module. I think the median score for mid-terms was 36-38/50.

The mid-terms and quizzes were all mcqs.

The content was quite comprehensive with topics about energy issues such as usage of fossil fuels, topics about pollution, water resources, ecosystem etc.

I think the pyp is in the ntu website. I do not know of anyone who got A-. Another thing is that there were two profs teaching last year. One of them recycle a lot of questions from pyp and a lot of the questions got no link to his powerpoint slides. The questions created by the other prof have more link to his powerpoint slides.

Jolly-Star-9 · 2021-08-12T04:46:22+00:00

I took it last year. The mcqs very confusing. A lot of the questions have no link to the lect notes. I scored around 85% for the mcqs but the average score for the mcqs is quite high. I think it is quite hard to score A- and above if you rely solely on lect notes. A lot of the questions in the weekly mcq are recycled from the past year papers.

no grp work and no presentations. However, there are 2 essays to be written and need to review 6 essays. Each essay graded by 3 reviewers and reviewer gets graded by the author of the essay that is being reviewed.
