GEM1036 / GEH1001 Globalisation and New Media

Taken in SEM 1 AY15/16

Professor: Gui Kai Chong
Module overview: 
Simply globalisation and new media, in relation to topics like culture, creative industries, digital economy, change, environment

Review:
Very much like GP, hence not much studying to do for finals. Concepts were not difficult.

Workload was quite a lot for a level 1000 mod - there were about 20 page readings every week. Some weeks had two. Some readings were pretty dry but most were quite insightful if you persevered through them!

Class participation: Do not need to fear if you're not really the kind who likes class participation. The teacher is quite kind and generally gives everyone a chance to speak.

Good to be very detailed with the powerpoint assignment.

Finals was 2 hours - had more than enough time. Tested 5MCQs on the readings, 10 marks on short answered question (that were very closely related to readings) and 1 essay question. Essay question was on networks. A lot of people finished quite fast and left early.

Webcast: None
Textbook: None

Grading:
Class participation + Forum: 25%
Essay assignment: 30%
Powerpoint assignment: 15%
Finals: 30%


Expected Grade: A/A-
Final Grade: B+
Did well for all the components before finals (got a 14/15 & 27/30 for each assignment + did the forum 20 times) hence felt there was a chance for getting A, however was pretty disappointed that I did not.
