Taken in SEM 2 AY15/16
Module overview:
Basically, how to be an entrepreneur + the schemes in Singapore
Very project based, very little content.
Review: A lot of uncertainty all the way. Had pretty bad project group mates, so I did a lot of work - You get to choose your group mates, so I'll suggest you take the module with people you already know (bid for same tutorial slot). If not, you should really map this module on exchange - there's so much uncertainty. Wasted a lot of time on the reports and posters which were around 10% each???
Hated this module so badly, and even more so with the bad grade

Taken in SEM 2 AY15/16
Module overview:
First half of the syllabus contains stuff learnt in JC geography - such as rivers, slopes etc. 2 of the practical assessments were on slopes, 1 was on alluvial plains, 1 was on rivers. (2/4 used google maps). Some of the practicals were rather time consuming (all were 1000 word reports - which was not enough), some required field trips out, some required intensive use of google maps, but all were take home assignments. Got A-/A for all.
Tips for assignments: Make sure to write the word limit for on the cover page, the teacher gives marks for it. Good formatting is also required.
Noted for this module weren't very good (especially when compared to JC notes). You might want to read up on some - can be tested during exams. PM me if you want the textbook, I have the soft copy.
For the exams - key terms are essential. For eg. When talking about river energy its important to mention equilibrium. Again, PM me if you want the feedback from the prof for the exam.

Review: If you have a background in geography from JC, take it!!
Studied for it for 3 days, only attended 2 lectures, and felt pretty unsure going into the exams (because i didnt know what they'll test since the notes were so brief) but got A-!!
Webcast: None
Textbook: For better elaboration, suggested
Grading:
Break down:
4 x 15 = 60% (4 practical assignments, 15 marks each)
Final exams: 40%
Expected Grade: Very unsure what I would get/ A-
