And another semester just flew by. By the way, I just ended my last finals on Friday so this post is quite timely.
In all honesty, this semester was a lot less enjoyable than I thought it would be. Let's just cut away the SS module as I can count with my fingers the number of hours I spent on it in the entire semester. Oh damn, EC4332 was so much less interesting than I had imagined, not to mention that killer finals. I felt that studying for it wouldn't help much. So this module isn't looking too optimistic along with the small cohort size.
Right, but nothing beats ST3239. The finals was so dumb. I do mean, dumb. Probably the dumbest finals I ever had in my 3 years of candidature. And that's because there was one question in the finals which was taken directly from the notes. So even for those who did not understand the proof (which should be the case for most people from what I heard), they could just conveniently copy it from their cheatsheet. And I was one of the unlucky ones who did not copy it onto my cheatsheet so that's an instant 20 marks gone. It also doesn't help that the bell curve for this module is going to be extremely steep which means I should very well brace myself for the result of this module.
In fact, the only two modules that I really enjoyed are ST3242 and ST3247. Unfortunately, ST3247 finals was so easy that I think everyone could obtain close to, if not, full marks. To make things worse, I did not do very well for the midterms and the differentiator will most likely be the midterms. It kinda feels a bit like my ST2137 except that I did not do as badly for the midterms though at the same time, the cohort size got reduced by more than half. And ST3242 is probably the only module that I see hope for an A.
Well, I guess it'll help to get mentally prepared before results day. And more details to come in my module review later on.
Oh right, in case you're wondering, I'm not doing an internship this summer but I do have some plans on my mind. I haven't been given the green light for those plans though so I'll not reveal them as of now. Meanwhile, it's just work from my Prof on the RA side and I'm kinda looking forward to starting a new research paper with him this holidays.
