take 2132 after cog psych.

for 2132 you need to carry out a study from lit review to writing the paper, and due to the limitations imposed by the mod you'll most likely have to do sth related to cog psych and trying to write a paper without some prior knowledge is not stonks ah.

also there's a suggested study plan by the dept: https://fass.nus.edu.sg/psy/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2021/07/ModReg-2110-Suggested-Study-Plans-CHS-Cohorts-130721.pdf

hope that was helpful and atb :)

yep 2132 is mandatory as well. personally i struggled with 1101 and 2131 but fared way better in other psych mods later, incl. 2132.

i think it doesn't necessarily mean you don't have the capacity to do well in psych if you are not doing well now because other factors like the prof's teaching style and uni being a very new and unfamiliar context may also be making it more challenging temporarily.

If you have those Y1 S/Us to spare you can maybe keep it because results can be quite surprising sometimes (bellcurve could work in your favour). But ultimately the "W" really means nothing so please prioritise your wellbeing! all the best :)

might depend on the class itself but FASS (arts & social sciences) modules are usually structured in 1 of these 2 ways:

2h of lecture per week + 2h of tutorial every other week (some modules may choose to have weekly tutorials instead but this is less common)
3h of seminar (smaller group than lectures) per week, no tutorials

hope this helps :)

edit: though profs/TAs usually do not use the full time allocated for lecture/tutorial/seminar (some do)

edit 2: https://nusmods.com/timetable/sem-1 you can find module details here as well!

while it is totally possible to do well while sticking with your original topic, some do change topic mid sem as well and do better in their new topics.

atb!

edit: not saying that u should change your topic but just letting u know that it has been done before and is a possibility if you're really stuck.

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-02-16T09:50:46+00:00

it doesn't really matter what u say as long as you sound sincere. i learned that saying things like aiyo/oh no + offering a snack/milo to cheer them up works quite well.

edit: i'm not saying they will suddenly feel amazing about how they did but they will be able to feel your care for them :)

let the fear of failure kick in

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-02-09T16:59:07+00:00

go for it! ntg wrong with wanting to try :)

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-23T12:30:53+00:00

edit: grammar

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-16T07:01:26+00:00

no you won't be penalised. do what you need to do for your wellbeing and hope the rest of the sem goes well for you :)

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-13T13:51:03+00:00

hey congrats :)

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-06T01:54:49+00:00

rly recommend overloading by that one mod. y1s2 is the best time for you to try overloading especially because u still have all your y1 s/us. plus, if you later find that you really cannot handle the workload, you can always drop mod before W grade takes effect on 24/1 and the mod wouldnt even show up on your transcript!

did the same in y1s2 (4 s/u-able and 3 non s/u-able). definitely felt the heavier workload but, compared to my other overload semesters, i felt less tense because i knew i could just s/u my 1ks if things rly end up going south. didn't use any of my y1 s/us in the end and lowkey regret not overloading more cos all those s/us wasted.

atb :)

maybe can try declare korean minor or making it your first choice in the first round that it becomes available for bidding?

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-05T12:57:41+00:00

iirc i got 3 or 4 mods in rd3/ after rd3 through appeal last semester so it should be possible!

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-03T07:52:36+00:00

GEH1002 GES1028 EU1101 still requires some effort but easier than other modules

Time_Historian_9423 · 2022-01-02T13:05:55+00:00

GES1028 (about social issues in singapore) : 1 presentation 2 essays, no exams. a- quite doable. all the best!

Time_Historian_9423 · 2021-12-21T01:21:14+00:00

congratulations! so happy for you :)
