This module was pretty manageable too, especially if you had taken JC H2 Physics. In my opinion, the syllabus was pretty much similar to that back in high school, with just a little extra topics. For example we learnt the same momentum and angular momentum, just that now we had an extra topic which delved deeper - Angular momentum and rotational momentum, which are pretty much similar in one way or another.
There were 2 labs in total, and the lab reports are graded. I suggest that you put in some effort for these lab reports. Try to make it look aesthetically pleasing, and throw in sources of errors and possible solutions to mitigate these errors to further beef up your report.
Tutorial wise, I got Ms Qiu Leiju as my tutor. I would say she was a pretty awesome tutor. Her explanations were very clear and I easily understood concepts. She also provides handwritten solutions to the tutorial problems which can be found on her website here.
* A Hint: This module was really really manageable, so just keep up with the tutorial pace and understand every single concept taught and you should be fine.
