For those who are too lazy to read my NTU Journey in another tab, here's a summary and a quick view on what electives to take to get your A.
1. Cyber Security (EE8084)
Grading
Group report (50%)
Final exam - ALL MCQ (50%)
Important
Choose the right group mates. NBS students write great reports, or rather, professional ones (I'm sorry, my fellow science mates and engineering friends). The group report is critical to your overall grade (because the MCQs during the final exam is so easy, albeit tricky). After submitting the report, you can email the prof to ask about your grade and decide if you need to S/U this. The course content is manageable for people without any technology background. Note that many people score for the final exam because this module is one of the requirement of the minor in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) so there are many tech geeks around. Download the EE8084 summary in the NTU Journey tab.
2. Innovation and Technology Management (EE8061)
Grading
CA - ALL MCQ (40%)
Final exam - structured questions (60%)
Important
The CA (40%) consisted of MCQs only and its really easy, but very hard to score. One mistake and you drop a grade I guess because the average was very high, about 85% or higher. This course is more "practical" in the sense that you learn from real-life examples. Get the course description and brief summary from the NTU Journey tab.
3. Introduction to Energy (MA9001)
Grading
CA1: 30% + CA2: 40% + CA3: 30% = 100%
Important
This is the standard favourite elective for everyone. Its all about energy and the MCQs make it easier to study.
4. Digital Lifestyle (EE8092)
Grading
CA - ALL MCQ (2 x 25% = 50%)
Final exam - ALL MCQ (50%)
Important
This is an EEE mod and its ALL ABOUT digital equipments, from computers to camcorders. MY EEE senior told me that its extremely easy for EEE students so those who are not from EEE, you NEED to really study in order to score.
5. Astronomy (EE8086)
Grading
CA - ALL MCQ (2 x 15% = 30%)
Final exam - ALL MCQ (70%)
Important
Some LOVE this mod, some HATE this mod. Basically, if you're curious and are very interested in the birth of the universe, the origin of galaxies, the evolution of stars and the formation of planets etc., you'll very likely find this mod manageable.
