r/NTU

Freshie here and can my fellow freshies who had taken SC1004 TUT for this week tell me how was the prof or tutorial went? 😭

Because my TUT experience was lowkey... BAD. For 1 hr, the prof randomly chose 4 students, asked them to solve 1 question per person (4 in total) on the whiteboard in front of everyone and that was it. No explanations, no showing of solving, no nothing, just 4 questions purely solved by students. I know they don't want to spoon feed us but felt like what's the point of coming for TUT if like this?? Pls helppp

Hi as mentioned in the title , I don’t have enough major module registered for this semester. For this semester I only have one MPE module for my major which makes me wonder whether I will graduate on time because I don’t have enough modules for my major. I have been trying since course registration and add drop but I am unfortunately waitlisted for all my major MPES as they have no vacancy AT ALL. I have messaged the academic office for them to tell me to message to my respective school, which I have done so twice with no reply back from them at all. And add drop week is ending soon , anyone knows what I can do?
For context : I am year 2 this year.

Edit: for title I meant not enough registered MPES , core modules unable to take as well due to lack of vacancies🥲

Hiii guys I'm a y1 COHASS freshie!

Does anyone know how typical weekend classes are in university? I'll be renewing my contract for my part-time job for the next calendar year, and it's going to eat up my Saturdays. (I need 钱 okay don't come for me)

I'm just really worried that we might be assigned classes on Saturdays...

any seniors can share their experience on ntu business on whether you think it's good or not so good about it. and whether smu and nus is better

So I finally got a study load overload request accepted so do y'all know any good BDEs on Wednesdays in btw 11.30am to 1.30pm thats easy enough such that I study consistently I can get B+ ? Thanks

I know it might sound a bit stupid, but I hate having body hair, but I feel like if I trim/shave in the showers I might clog the drains, how do you guys do it?

I know there’s a heartland bus service but the timing doesn’t really match my schedule and I was wondering if there’s any other way I can come from Pasir Ris instead of taking the train all the way. And grab is definitely way too expensive too.

I’m a CS alumni who graduated 4 years ago, currently looking to mentor a small community of existing students.

My time in NTU wasn’t the exactly the easiest time and felt that there are a lot of things that were left for you to figure out on your own. So trying to be that person for existing juniors.

Mainly offering alternative understanding and interpretation of syllabus and/or any collaboration on projects for learning purposes

Pls reach out if interested

My background:
Started out coding towards end of primary school working on game servers and picked up some basic coding skills. Went to do a diploma in IT because I knew I wanted to do software engineering

Have had multiple exposures through internship and full time: full stack dev, cloud computing and DevOps. Got bored of software only work and decided to try more computer engineering things.

Currently a Staff Engineer at a local startup working on autonomous systems and perception( involving a mix of CV, embedded systems and AI).

I also run a homelab setup just to test random software experiments and AI agents etc

Nothing fancy at FAANG and the likes but at least I’m happy with my journey so far :)

So, I have an upcoming interview scheduled with HTX Q3 team but i am undecided if i will want to accept them if they offer. However, I am curious to hear from seniors who have interned there before about how the experience is like for their AI intern role

Would appreciate if any seniors can help out.

I’m an international ccds fresher and I wanted to approach people for clubs and hackathons but I’m struggling to talk to people and bond in general, I don’t know why.. I thought of signing up for some ccas but most of them have prerec skillsets. Does tht mean my 1st sem at uni will be pretty dormant lol :/

Hi seniors! I’m a Year 1 student in SBS doing Biological Sciences, and I had a few questions about BDEs.

The course requirements say we need to complete 27 AUs of BDEs over the four years. Since there are 8 semesters, that averages out to about 3.375 AUs per semester.

So how does this actually work? Do most people take 4 AUs of BDEs every semester, or do you usually take more/less in certain semesters and make up the difference later? How did you guys plan your BDEs across the four years?

I’ve also taken Media Effects as my BDE this semester. For those who have taken it, how is the workload and grading? Is it generally considered an easy module to score well in? I’ve heard there’s no exam, but there’s a quiz and a presentation, so I’d appreciate any insight into how difficult it is to get an A.

Basically, I’d really appreciate any advice from seniors on:

• How you managed the 27 BDE AUs across the 4 years
• Whether it’s better to consistently take 4 AUs per semester
• How important it is to choose “easy-scoring” BDEs
• Whether Media Effects is worth keeping or if I should consider dropping it

Thanks in advance!

Staying in halls

Can I get opinions on whether I should apply for hall again before sem 2 or should I just wait till next year? Kinda fomo bc most first years r staying in hall while I ain't and the experiences I might be missing out on.

HELP 😭 I chose PH1011 as a BDE and a few seniors have told me it’s a nightmare.

I took A-Levels and genuinely enjoy the subject, so I’m wondering if that makes much of a difference or if the workload and exams are still brutal.

I haven’t started classes yet and have until the 21st to drop it. Would you recommend keeping it?

I suddenly got both modules and I need help deciding again which to do. I have every other module like CA, DE, EM1 & Semicon 😭 Is DSA easier in Semester 1 or should I just play it safe and do EE2073

Hi y1 mae freshie here, for context I have a CC0007 tut until 2:20pm at EMB (collab 1) and my next tutorial, PH1012, is 2:30pm at The Hive. I ride a motorbike but looking at the time taken for parking and getting to the class i feel that there is no way I can make it there in 10 minutes, so just wanted to ask whether ill be penalised if I was late to the tut?
