MA1506 - Mathematics II

Type: Core Module
Difficulty: Normal
Workload: Normal
Lecturer(s): Prof Chew Tuan Seng
Assessment: Midterms and Finals

This module is a continuation of MA1505. This time, I got another prof which used handwritten notes and notes copied directly from the department syllabus. Im a person who gets confused easily when you bombard me with complex looking mathematical symbols and greek letters in equations. When I looked at Prof Chew Tuan Seng's notes again, it was much much simpler and again, I recommend crashing his lectures. I had a timetable clash with Prof Chew's lectures, hence sadly I wasn't able to crash his lectures. This took a bad toll on me.

This semester, I was lagging behind the lectures so much that I stopped attending lectures completely. During the 1 week recess break, I ended up having to webcast all lectures given from midterms onwards. As expected, I performed badly.

Midterms was 10 MCQ questions, and again I scored 9/10 for midterms. However, midterms has a very low weightage so these marks mean nothing to the final results.

Hence a takeaway message for this module, constant practise is very important for this module. Do not lag behind! It's very bad for your health and your cap.

Again for finals, we were allowed to bring in 1 A4 cheatsheet just like MA1505.

* A Hint: Same hints as MA1505

Expected Grade: B
Achieved Grade: C+ (SU Used)

Module review for my Year 1 Semester 2 modules

Year 1 Semester 2

It's the end of my 1st year in NUS, and I must admit that it wasn't an easy journey (because my brain was a little rusty from my 2 year break from studying while serving NS). I realised the importance of module reviews are to freshies (having been scouring through them myself when bidding for modules). Thus I've decided to create this blog, for you!

I'll try as best to give an in-depth review, as well as throw in everything I think you'll need at hand to aid you in scoring for the module. After all, we're on different bell-curves *sniggers
