Blogpost 7: Reflections

To be honest, the “no exam” which appeared under the description for ES2007 was the deciding factor. My only other module apart from my FYP is non examinable as well. I did not have any expectations for this class at all. Nil. 4 Modular Credits. Nevertheless, after 12 weeks of lessons, I do somehow feel a little sense of belonging to our wonderful group 11. I hereby thank Shauna and Linling for the fun we had throughout our survey report. Gals, you have to agree with me that when we first saw the obscene grade, it was pretty funny eh.

I would prefer the resume and interview topics to be covered right at the start. As a graduating student, the final semester is a period of cover letter writings and interviews. Thus, acquiring interview skills as early as possible would be more beneficial. As a matter of fact, this course should be taken as early as your bid points allow. An interesting point to highlight, a friend of mine bid for the same time slot for this module, but at a different location, somewhere high up a certain slope in science instead of the new chic S16. What a great difference in the bid points!

  1. Hi Ji Qing,

    Sharing same sentiments as you, I think I will recommend this module to my peers but would advise them to take this 1 semester before they graduate. I think that is certainty a better timing as they can reflect, remember and practice what they have learned and put into use, regardless for preparing resumes or attending interview.

  2. Hi Ji Qing

    I have to agree that the non-examinable nature of this useful course was one of the reasons why I decided to take it up. More time can be allocated for job letters and interviews too.

    Like May, I would recommend my peers to take 1 semester before they enter the job market, so that they can apply the updated skills that are still fresh in their minds.

    I like how your group members interact with one another. Serious work peppered with jokes and the light mood.

    All the best in everything!

  3. Hi Ji Qing,

    I have to agree that one of the reasons that encourage me to take up this module is its non-examinable nature. I have plenty of friends who have taken up this module before and they have all commented that the workload is heavy. At first, I did not believe it but it turns out that they have been speaking the truth.

    As Sok Huang has said that our group members interact well with one another, I could not agree any less with her. Thanks Shauna and Ji Qing for making our group so much interesting and enjoyable.

    Since most of you are graduating this semester, I wish everybody the best!!
