ES2007S has
finally come to an end!! I took this module initially because I just came back
from student exchange program and need to readjust to studying in NUS. ES2007S
do not need to memorise any information unlike my Life Sciences modules so I
decided to give it a shot. A lot of my friends told me not to take this module,
but I just choose to go ahead.
This module is
quite fun initially, with all the very interesting class activities. The
workload starts to get more and more along the weeks and till recess week I had
yet to find time to revise my core modules at all. There are many drafts and
re-edits till the final product be it resume, application letter, peer teaching
lesson plan and the proposal. Really wanted to give up by week 8 but I could
not because if I want to graduate this semester, I need to have enough modular
credits.
Objectively, I
did learn a few useful skills through this module. The constant drafts and
reviews sharpen me to be careful about many details (alignment, using of
bullets, choice of words etc. ) which will make my work look more professional.
Through this module, I also have the chance to conduct interview with the Vice
Dean of Science which is really refreshing! This module got me thinking how to “brand
myself” too, which I am really bad at.
Thanks to Ms
Lim, my teacher who is very dedicated in teaching. I was quite amazed that Ms
Lim came to class before 7am every lesson to prepare for her lesson! In
addition. Ms Lim also puts in a lot of hard work, getting back to replies
sometimes even after midnight. When I was really down, Ms Lim took out time to
have a little chat with me after class. She encouraged me and advised me that I
need to learn how to manage stress better because multi tasking is the norm in
the working world.
I would not have
made it to the end if not for my wonderful classmates (: They are really
awesome people who brought so much fun and energy to class! Thanks to Malathi
as well who cheered me up when I am down.
The small class size and the close interactions with classmates which
other modules may not be able to offer is what I really enjoyed about ES2007S. THE
END!

Oh dear, I should probably plan for more 'senang' modules post SEP too uh! I must agree that ES isn't the most 'chillax' module around (way heavier than any of my core modules too...but I guess we learnt uh).
Yes, I do agree with the skills you've mentioned, alignment, using of bullets, choice of work etc. It's something very noteworthy for myself too because we have to use a lot of powerpoint slides in teaching. Haha.
Now that this module has come to a conclusion, let's gear up for the examinations and await judgement day when the results come out! (:
All the best for your SEP! It will be one of the best moment in your University days (:
Hey Jo!
Yes, ES is definitely one of the toughest modules that I've taken thus far. However, like you, I find it really rewarding as we acquire those skills from interactive and unconventional class activities. Initially, I was really plagued by stress and was really caught that moment. I guess you'll just have to keep going and brush those negativity away! You can do it!:)
Thank you for your lovely card again!! All the best for your finals! GO JO!:)
Hey breakfast club buddy!
Yeah its been an amazing experience in the module. Thanks for the cool morning breakfast times haha It's been tough but what keeps us going is friends around.
All the best for your final year. Jiayou!

Hi Jo my T-Ace partner,
totally agreed, I was as busy as my friend who has 4 no exam modules (which translates to piles of mid-sem assignments). Yet, just like you, I really enjoyed the interactions I had during class. After graduating from ES2007S, looking on the brighter side, I'm sure we will be capable enough to handle any other module to come as precision and meticulous had already sunken deep into us. That is only possible if you decide to pursue your honours though.
Thanks for everything you had done for our proposal team.
Cheers,
Chee Kian
