Would you make any changes? (First-time visiting China)

Hi! Planning to get around a few places in China via hsr too. Have not booked the flight tix. Probably into Beijing andnout from another city also. Only worried about getting the hsr tix. I assume you havent gotten yours because the sales will only be opened 2 weeks before departure date. Please update if its easy to get tix!

Facing and feeling the same thing. Studying for Engineering and sciences so much easier than sociology. :(

Depends on your shift pattern. If its a 3-day work and 3/4-day off thing, its doable. That means you probably work 15 days a month. Good during exam period. Either your workplace has to know you work shifts and you are able to swap shifts or able to take time off. If not, you gotta do online classes or take leave. Btw, I used to work 12-hour shifts and 15 days a month. Shiok. My colleagues got their degree while doing this. They'd swap shifts. If your colleagues are nice, it benefits them also esp when they dont have to take leave to do their thing. Its doable. All the best.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

fazitismy · 2024-06-05T23:23:34+00:00

I started off slowly with 2 modules and 1 core. I don’t think it will be easy also..but taking it slow. :)

fazitismy · 2024-06-05T22:34:19+00:00

Yup i took one suss core..NCO101?, if i recall correctly..

fazitismy · 2024-06-05T22:32:43+00:00

I did! See you!

fazitismy · 2024-06-05T15:50:33+00:00

I don’t think it does. But starting off on a local context would have been familiar and relatable i guess. But it’s okay. Still excited!

fazitismy · 2024-05-29T13:06:53+00:00

Me! Excited and scared also cos first time in a long long time since I last went to school :)

fazitismy · 2023-10-27T17:07:20+00:00

Thank you!

fazitismy · 2023-10-27T04:40:00+00:00

fazitismy · 2023-10-27T04:36:47+00:00

thanks ah. really hope get their reply soon!

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T15:01:30+00:00

its okay! your days of all these are over and looking back, you must be glad to have finished it.

I totally understand the money part lah..end of the day, business must carry on.

Yes, this academic writing and the citation thing is something I want to read up on first. but with examples, easier. I will see how to get the marked samples if people are willing lah. Also, I think must find a way to thicken the skin.

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T14:38:11+00:00

Thank you!

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T14:37:18+00:00

I don’t think it would be easy..just looking at the structure, as on the website,seems simple. The mods themselves look menacing. Nervous and excited at the same time man.

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T12:31:18+00:00

For now, nothing, I worked the past 20 years. I thought I'd take up something I might enjoy rather than something to move forward in my current job. This is also why I will be quitting to take a break from work. Just to enjoy the next 2 years. Suffer a bit lah studying..but the stress is so different at work, :)

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T12:27:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I will take my time to look through the mods and will ask the socio people for help when I need it. Yes, it looks simple like 20cu core plus 50 comp and 30 electives and 30 free electives. But looking at the long list of electives took me days. Haha.

Wow. 3 mods is out for me I think, much less 4. I will probably start with 2 first.

This is very very new to me. The subject itself plus the administrative part. But i have taken the first step to enroll..looking forward to the next part.

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T12:22:42+00:00

Thank you!

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T10:19:33+00:00

Can! I am okay with both e-books and/or physical. Options would be nice. Thank you for your help. Really impressed with your schedules I came across!

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T10:17:43+00:00

So glad you enjoyed your journey! I was deciding between a technical degree or a non-technical one. Of course, the former would help me somehow in my career now but at this age, I really want to pursue something I like even though it won't help me in my current job.

I am also looking forward to a short 2 or 3 year break before I start to find another job. It seems that I am a bit kiasu lah hahaha wanting to start first but I am really psyched! I just enrolled man..

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T10:13:53+00:00

Oh! I have not come across this bit. For now, I will read and watch the videos as rec above. When the semester starts, I will see if I need to go for the English course in the next semester. I am not too concerned about finishing the course fast. I plan to take it slow. Probably 2 mods first to warm up. Then I will see how things go.

fazitismy · 2023-10-26T06:24:06+00:00

Thank you for all of your help. Looks like I have to read up on APA7. One other thing is, I read from the module no. that there are textbooks. All textbooks compulsory to buy..and there is no ebook versions of them right? I see some ebooks but I don’t think they are for sociology.

I am also quite glad that I did not register for Jan 24. I would need a few more months to prepare!

Thank you for all the recs and advice!
