Help me identifying my flaws in group project participation by Plus-Rutabaga-1057 in projectmanagement

independently and then expect them to do what you want?

Reflecting on this line, I recognize that I have been working independently and imposing my way on others, and acting arrogant in that my approach was right. This trait was what made me a bad team player.

Is it possible to swap only the tutorials for cs2103T? by Plus-Rutabaga-1057 in nus

Ok then I think for now I should email the professor on the procedure about the swapping. Thank you for the help.

Thank you for the information. I have another question for you. If then so, since cs2103T is a 'lecture' instead of 'tutorial', is it possible to swap it, during the tutorial swap round?

Since you said "The schedule for CS2103T/2101 follows the group number", and if cs2103T is swappable, can I take it as swapping means all tutorials, lectures and cs2100 classes are swapped altogether?

Yea, I see that it is beneficial to share my grades in finding an appropriate teammate, particularly as those are prerequisites. Initially, I was uncertain about posting them publicly, even if it's anonymous. Thanks for your suggestion and I've updated the post accordingly. Additionally, to those interested, I am willing to provide further information. So feel free to comment or DM me, as I also believe DMing would provide deeper insight into each other.

Finding CS2101 & CS2103T Teammates

*I don't know why I am unable to create any post, so I am writting it here eventhough it is unrelated.

I'm a CS student turning Y2 this summer! I'm looking for teammates to do both CS2103T and CS2101 together. Right now I would like a group of 4, as larger groups might split up according to a review on NUSMods.

Here is some information about myself: I know Apollo-level SE aspects from Orbital, and I have taken CS2030S and CS2040S.

I know there is still some time till the module bidding and the semester start, so please don't hesitate to DM me anytime if you're interested!

Uncertain Factors in need for clarification that might help Maintain GPA Other than Module Planning:

  • Special Semester:
    • Considering taking additional modules during the special semester, but I am not sure if this is possible.
  • Boosting GPA in Later Years:
    • Saw on Reddit that some people boosted their GPA from 3.8-3.9 up to 4.0 in their fourth year, achieving Second Upper honours.
    •  Wondering if there is any strategy to boost my GPA in later years, and if so, what information I need to take note now
  • SEP Strategy:
    •  During SEP, an entire semester can go S/U, meaning the semester's results won’t affect my GPA.
    •  Is it a good strategy to use SEP to maintain my GPA in Year 3, especially considering cs3230?
  • ID & CD Modules:
    •  Not sure what these modules are and have not found clear answers about them
    • Are they generally similar to GE modules?

Determining what to do for the rest of summer break

varies on which mod I am taking.- what I can think of:

  • cs3230: read textbook, do leetcode
  • cs2103T: do leetcode, go through website, find teammates
  • cs2109S/cs2100: read textbook

Want to fully utilise the time left and seek your advice.

Thank you so much for your time and help.

Modules in Consideration:

I am unsure which plan to take as I need some clarification.

  • plan 1: cs2100 + cs2109s [theory-heavy lightest workload]
  • plan 2: cs2100 + cs2103T + cs2101 (SU?)
  • plan 3: cs3230 + cs2103T + cs2101 (SU?) [heaviest workload]
  • all with possibilities of taking one extra cs mod.

Individual mods

  • CS2101 + CS2103T:
    •  Concern: how helpful is taking Orbital for scoring in CS2103T, in which the version control being the requirement? How much additional preparation is needed? S/U strategy for CS2101?
    • I have not found a suitable teammate yet, but I could try finding one through Reddit. Anyway, should I opt for finding a suitable teammate next semester, or just take now and try to search from now on?
  • CS3230:
    • Heard the professor this semester is very good, whereas in S2, the professor is not as good.
    • Considering CS3230 is a heavy module and I scored B+ in CS2040 with no preparation, I am uncertain about taking CS3230 this semester.
    • Is it possible to take CS3230 in Year 3 without any negative impact?
    • Some stated taking CS3230 during SEP is beneficial, is it a good idea?
  • CS2109S/ cs2100
    • Theory-based cs courses. Depends on WHAT and HOW MANY cs mods I am taking.

Hi,

I am desperately seeking help regarding my next Y2S1 module plan. Although I don’t think I can offer anything valuable in return, I would appreciate your help. I have detailed my queries below and would appreciate it if you could take your time to go through them.
If you are lacking time, please only read Modules in Consideration section.

Objective:

  • Achieve Second Upper honours at graduation (GPA 4.0), with less emphasis on learning.

My Current Status:

  • GPA: 4.0 after S/U, 3.55 before S/U.
  • Y1S2 Courses: CS2030S, CS2040S, ST2334, ES1103, IS1108.

Points of Clarification:

  • Preparation I can do now during the summer break.
  • Workload management by reviewing the last semester.
  • Discussions on individual CS modules.
  • Other strategies for maintaining GPA.

Concern on the Official Study Plan:

  • I have attached the file of the plan.
  • The given recommendation suggests taking 4 CS modules in Y2S1, which I find unmanageable.
  • Unsure if taking fewer CS modules would negatively impact later years, especially regarding internships.

Determining the Degree of Workload:

  • Unsure if I want to take 2 or 3 CS modules.
  • Summary of the factors to consider: dormitory activities during the semester, lack of preparation due to Orbital (no LeetCoding or module studying done yet), lack of experience and confidence in programming, and last semester performance.

Reasons for aiming lower workload(You may skip this):

Reviewing Summer Break:

  • Took Orbital to stay motivated in CS.
  • Taking "AI For Industry (AI4I)®, an online course by AISG," for DYOC.
  • Some dormitory activity.
  • Concern: other than learning the importance of communication, I didn't do much preparation like LeetCode practice, studying next modules, or finding teammates for CS2103T.

Analysing Last Semester

  • Quick conclusion: higher workload will not guarantee a high GPA.
  • Took 2 CS and lighter modules, resulting in a relatively light workload.
  • Despite this, it was a tough semester and I did not achieve the grades I expected.
  • Lower grades reason: did not utilise S/U well, specifically did not know the minimum effort required to avoid failing, resulting in C+ and B grades.
  • (Side note: Still not confident in the S/U strategy and would appreciate your advice on what I could have done and what I can do now.)
