mostly brainless stuff, tutorials are useless for finals (not tested directly) but useful for consolidation and other skills. profs are generally fun and good. MCQ midterms essay on top of finals. All were super easy > steep ass bell curve.

Year Taken: AY20/21 Sem 2
A very fun module which has content highly applicable to daily life. There are many profs teaching this mod, some from NEA and SFA. Content is very easy, so make sure to study even the nitty gritty stuff because those usually comes out in the 2 midterm MCQ quizzes. The finals was 10 short open ended questions choose 9 (5 marks each), and was relatively easy to score with an average of 38/45. For the take home essay assignment, try to do it with competent groupmates as it is a free 15% if done well. Bell curve is very competitive for this mod.
