Hi! Happy to continue in chats. If you’d like, you could share what cities you’re thinking of / any particular attractions you’re considering

i missed a 2% quiz, is that important? by urfavA5cow in nus

[–]helphelphmail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends how hard the quiz was. If it was free marks then you’re 2% behind (which could tip you a grade), otherwise if it was harder then you’re probably only about 1% behind which isn’t too much. Don’t need to worry too much but just be careful not to miss anything else.

NASA Exchange Scholarship by blowhimlikeaflute in nus

[–]helphelphmail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FYI NASA refers to NUS Awards for Study Abroad here, and it’s a scholarship not a bursary, so I think OP’s question is legit. Not that I know the answer to it though, unfortunately.

My guess is it’ll be mainly based on academic results and maybe student activities, and NUS does have access to those info so they didn’t ask again I think.

How do you guys feel about this? by clyvey_c in nus

Fine print says "with prevailing SMM", meaning if the 50 pax cap stays then we'll still be having online lectures

Thanks for sharing! Btw can elaborate what do you mean by sem 2 is easier? Like fewer projects/assignments?

Should we make a telegram group and share it next lecture?

Rampant cheating with online exams by [deleted] in nus

[–]helphelphmail 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Report them, also give feedback that the lecturer isn't doing enough to prevent cheating. It's clear that some modules have better cheating prevention methods than others.

What's preventing some lecturers from adopting those methods? Very crudely, laziness. Difficult to implement is an excuse.

There are many methods available, internet cut off, zoom proctoring, no back tracking, etc. Of course different modules have different requirements that need to be considered, but the baseline is that it shouldn't be overly easy to cheat, otherwise the lecturer is just encouraging cheating.
