I didn't get any textbooks!
Remarks:
I honestly hated this module haha. But it's a core so, too bad for me. Nothing much to say about this mod, other than the fact that unless you're very IT savvy (i.e. you know what RAM ROM circuit/packet switching is), then good luck, it is memory work all the way.
You'll be lucky if you're in Group A because you'll be doing this in conjunction with the Foundational Excel course. Unfortunately, for prof Chia Chian Hong, he does not teach/go through excel in class, so you really gotta step up and learn it yourself (its 20 marks in the final paper). I left my 20m blank HAHAHA and filled in nonsense because I really had no idea how to write out all the excel functions. You literally have to memorize and write things like =SUM(A1:A5) --> btw this is like easy af so don't expect them to ask you such easy questions. They literally test functions like VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX and I don't even know what else because I can't remember.
Marc Low is the best! Funny guy, who doesn't want you to record him in class. Classes are naturally boring so bring some sweets!
ReplyDeleteThis module is really a hit and miss, it really depends on the professors you get. Some of the more experienced professors will teach better and will have slides that reflect the gist of the content required for the exams. I would be advisable to do up your own bible that reflects the content that will be tested for finals and review them frequently to ensure that you know each and every concept required for the exams.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do practice the past exams because you might need to get used to how the questions are asked and perhaps, how best to present the answers in a more comprehensive manner and in a way that answers the question.
As for the project, you have a good few weeks to complete it, but just be consistent and do it bit by bit every week, and it should turn out just fine.
