Modules
Phew!
After Round 2B, I have finally gotten all my modules!
It was always gonna be the case, as Malay 2, as a language module, will only be available for bidding in Round 2B.
Bidding this time round has been smooth relatively, especially when compared to last semester, when I still had to appeal for the last module during the SECOND WEEK of school.
The only regret is not getting Developmental Economics, so I can study under the nice Dr Lee Soo Ann again, but well, I'm glad that the module went to 700+ during open bidding, and removing any hope of me getting it right at the start (I only had 649 P points), so I can change to Public Finance immediately.
With me wanting to work in the Civil Service, perhaps (but with heavy doubts) this module will be helpful in some ways. It also looks like another maths kind of module, which suits me well also.
These are the modules I'm taking this semester:
EC3102 - Macroeconomic Analysis II (With Zhimin + Econs gang)
EC3333 - Financial Economics I (With Xiong and Kaiwei)
EC3351 - Public Finance (With Zhimin and Cindy)
SSS120 - Natural Heritage of Singapore (With Cindy, Shimin, Zhimin, Dingyan)
LAM2201 - Malay 2 (With Cecilia and Patrick)
Well, one interesting thing I've noted is that in Round 2B, for both Malay 1 and Malay 2, the vacancies exceed the number of bidders.
This is different from last year, when I got Malay 1 for around 100+ points.
Interestingly, this comes after PM Lee encouraged Singaporeans to take a 2nd Mother-Tongue.
Well well, it's good that bidding comes easy at 1 point, but having only 13 people taking the module (for now) is scary.
Hope that the remaining 27 places will be snapped up!
Still can't imagine a lecture with only 40 people though =X
Here's to a great sem ahead!
