Lab & Quizzes

Submission of labs reports are all done online, with a given timeline. And on the upload page, instruction says:

Grades:
0 - You are failed and cannot be passed under any circumstance.
1 - You are failed, but can be passed after uploading a new version.
2 - You are passed.

You can only attain the grade 1 twice. The third time you fail, you will get grade 0.
If you get grade 0, you will have to redo the lab next year.

UH OH... I've no idea what to submit for Lab 1!!

Quizzes are also done online, with a time limit. Abt 2 quizzes every week.

During the course there will be 10 quizzes. At the end of the course, you will have to have passed 6 of the 10 quizzes in order to pass the course.

Only one attempt at the quiz is allowed.The quiz takes 10 minutes to complete, if you don’t finish in time you receive Fail as grade on the quiz.

The programme structure here is quite different. Back in Sin, we used to have labs/lectures / quizzes running concurrently. Here, its all lectures for the first few weeks, and the labs/ quizzes in a clump after. As for tutorials, they do recommend questions for you to try out, but they do not really go through unless you point it out and there are no dedicated tutorial sessions. However, after chitchatting with a fren who is from another school in Sweden, his is not the case. Maybe its only my school and this course? Personally do not really like this, as its not very structured and I prefer tutorials or assignments to help me pace through the course.

Thankfully, got into the MBA course after appealing. Starts in August, so I'd probably switch over then as MBA is more useful in the long term. For now, its just taking the technical modules that is useful in my work and which I'm interested in.

Having fun in other classes like Swedish and violin. Would love to spend more time on Swedish though, its only once a week now and with a class of 50 pax, we dun learn much. As for violin, do get worried practising at home. The walls in Sweden flats here are so thin, I can hear my neighbours watching tv or listening to music quite effortlessly. So can u imagine the screeching of violin strings, haha.

Just something light-hearted - my Bangladesh lab partner was telling me S'pore has a world-class uni ranked amongst the top 20, and that how he had applied twice but was rejected. I din wana embarass NUS by saying I was from NUS (when I din even noe how to use Unix), but ultimately, he asked me where I obtained my degree and kept 'wow wow wow!'. Uhh.. wundered what he was really thinking abt when he kept 'wowing' me, hahaha...
