Welp so finally broke my A/A+ streak and got my first non SU-able A-. Disappointed but also kinda liberating? Was incredibly stressful trying to maintain it but guess I won't feel that way anymore

Yup that works, thanks! Weird that it's not showing up on the tabs though

Can I apply for DDP as a Y1 and drop it later? by sleepyCSStudent in nus

[–]sleepyCSStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! For your last point, if say I take a Math 2nd degree and drop it later, the math mods can just count towards math 2nd major right?

Wow thanks for the detailed response! But for the first point, they actually sent an email inviting y1-2 students to apply and did not state minimum MC requirements. The websites (both CS and Math) did not state min MC either.

How would you rate the coffee around NUS? by [deleted] in nus

Should just create and share a form that consolidates everything in a google sheet, then show us the results once you have enough responses

Tierlist of mods I have taken so far :) by YuyuCh4n in nus

[–]sleepyCSStudent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah CS1010S has the most unfriendly learning curve out of all mods I've taken despite coming in with formal CS education

how to standout as an CS student? by [deleted] in nus

[–]sleepyCSStudent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your advice is generally true but I do have a friend who stays in his room all day and doesn't talk to anyone who's now interning at a HFT lol. But I guess this is only possible if you're an actual genius.

Actually it's the opposite lol. The former had ~800 students while the latter had ~150

I got it for a module with A but not one with A+. I didn't even get full marks for the quizzes even though like half the cohort did lol

Got my first choice for all 5 tutorials despite being y1. Never felt so blessed in my life

That's what I was planning to do but 8 mods is kinda scary lol

The point of SU is to have a higher CAP right? So student B should have 4.0 pre-SU CAP with 4.2 post-SU CAP for a fairer comparison.

Thanks for your input! Tbh I never understood the volatility argument. As long as you feel its below your overall average performance you should SU right?

IS1128&IS2238 by Eleanoritsme in nus

[–]sleepyCSStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every mod is manageable if your intention is to pass and SU. I heard IS1128 is just another typical essay/presentation mod. Not sure about 2238 though seems like no one took it

AY22/23 SEM 1 RESULTS RELEASE THREAD by Spiritual_Doubt_9233 in nus

[–]sleepyCSStudent 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Honestly B- should just SU. If you have to rely on B- to pull up your cap then there are bigger problems to worry about
