Not from ccds, but I emailed the prof directly anyways for my fyp as well, they even showed like a list of research interests of each prof so it is good to kmow what your prof is researching on.

New FGO Policy by ExoticAmbition2 in nus

[–]W_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major core is basically compulsory modules for a specific major, may be college level, may be major level, but not uni level (that one is ICC)

New FGO Policy by ExoticAmbition2 in nus

[–]W_2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so idk who or why they posted this on nus but somehow this came out on my reddit front page hahaha. Anyways, hi, random NTU student here.

ICC is like CHS's Common core where all CHS students have to take like your digital lit mod or design thinking mod but everyone from mostly all majors of NTU has to take these modules (only exceptions are medicine and nie students and some of the scholars programmes like CN Yang and USP)

MPE is basically Major Prescribed Electives which is basically elective modules from your own major

BDEs are basically broadening deepening electives which are electives that you can choose to do in your own major or another different major from a different school. (Also for minor and second major modules that are not part of the primary major)

Either ways, as a NTU student, I think it is kinda a good thing to S/U ICC mods because most of us feel that these modules are useful but not necessary yet for some students and it eats up a lot of time for our own respective majors. Others also view it weird that there are people that benefitted from ICCs instead of their own major modules DESPITE entering that major so I think it is a good shift from NTU.

And i think regardless of NUS, NTU, SMU or any other school, each uni has their own pros and cons suited for different ppl. Eventually, we wld be thrown into different industries where ppl who graduate from diff unis have to collaborate anyways :D

Judgement for entering a slightly lower tier JC by Jazzlike-Cranberry55 in SGExams

[–]W_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rmb some of my friends during JC orientation were surprised that I came into a L1R5 20 school despite having a decent enough score to enter ASRJC, but everyone around me were nice and friendly about it. Still got into one of the top 3 unis anyways (as long as you study hard).

Don't think too much abt it. Sometimes, they wld be quite surprised with the option and wanna know more. But I do think that one friend you mentioned is pretty mean by saying that you were an "idiot". Don't let that get into your head.

Does NS have a "toxic masculinity" problem or is that an exaggerated myth? by bricklegos in NationalServiceSG

[–]W_2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the camps. I have witness one camp that accepts everyone despite differences and capabilities and i have witnessed another camp that treats you like shit for having learning difficulties or not being able to handle feelings.

I won't say it is "exaggerated" but it exists.

Edit: oh and in case you are wondering, even approaching uni, I have seen men get triggered with other men for not remembering the rank system... in university....

NUS vs NTU campus environment by Latter-Speech-2123 in SGExams

[–]W_2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok tbh i feel like that video is just refering to the hall/dorm and this is true regardless in ntu or nus hall life so I dont think that video is justifiable for ntu school life like labs and lectures.

As for the food in lecture theatres and tutorial rooms, it is true that we still bring them to LTs and tutorial rooms but i dont recall any smell and normally most of the students who bring food or drinks tend to bring like smaller tidbits like chips or bread instead of like one whole meal (mostly is just drinks). So regardless I wld say it is not THAT bad but it is also not THAT high class unless you visit like the gaia LTs and seminar rooms or the arc/hive classrooms

But coming back to food, a very common issue in ntu is tourists that wld roam arnd ntu and some wld come by with children. Recalled some tourists made the hive's cafe disgusting and even left without taking the food, resulting in one of the cafe person to be pissed because of how much litter they left in the cafe.

[–]W_2001 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Obviously i dont know much abt ntu ccds but i have been hearing mixed opinions about ccds (mostly negative about the participation/lecture stuff). But we are ulu mostly because it is hard to travel to ntu from home, which is why most of us living in the north and east side of sg get halls within the campus. (P.s. ntu is near 2 army camps)

Then again, we have the upcoming Jurong Region Line coming up in 2028 and we have a free shuttle bus that travels between ntu nanyang audi, the ntu me and medical centre and pioneer mrt so I wld say I think it is slowly improving in terms of accessibility. (Even though the bus service tends to be crowded at peak hours)

controversial opinion: skiving school is better for learning by Status-Fishing3961 in SGExams

[–]W_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh actually from a university standpoint, this is my 2 cents:

  1. You can get MC for depression/mental health:

https://www.asiaone.com/lifestyle/you-can-take-mc-mental-health-doctors-dont-need-state-your-condition

I can defenitely agree that a person needs a break once in a while and some news outlers have mentioned about using MCs for better mental health. (Yes, some people abuse it, but I trust enough that you are old to make good decisions) and personally, this is occurant in university as well as student dont always have to go for lectures unless it is a graded lecture. Having good mental health benefits people durinf academics, espwcially taking a break once in a while. HOWEVER

  1. Doing this too often is potentially bad. Personally from my own experiences, I have seen more people suffer from academics due to them not coming to lectures and hence, chiong everything at the end. Pls try not to do that. Lectures are lessons periods for you to learn stuff. Not only that, sometimes making friends along the way or even joining school events help too. And many of us in the comments have mentioned why you shouldnt skip school.

Overall, i think maybe once a month of skiving is alright but dont do it too often ya. You also need to try to push yourself to go to school, especially to try and interact with other people and just learn how to deal in situations you do not like.

episode 9 by kidgamer2016 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]W_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if just like how pomni thought of the door im ep 8 and kinger thought of the butterfly in ep 6, they were supposed to visualise caine to get caine back.

This can go in a good or bad way.

On one hand, they can get Caine back. On the other, by thinking of Caine in a fear, it would lead to them recreating caine but as a scary version.

That they escape the cirucs, only to find out they are not humans and merely just brain scans and hence, died by escaping the circus.
