I love reading module information.
"GEM1008: Evaluating Academic Arguments
Preclusion: Students who have taken any Philosophy modules" (Bloody hell.)
"GEK2503: Images of the earth are not only beautiful to look at but also useful for learning about the earth and its state of health... This module is for students who enjoy viewing images of the earth" [Someone: is this course sponsored by google earth?]
"GEK1537: The Search for Life on Other Worlds
Pre-requisite: High school education and interest in Science" (If you don't have a high school education and are in NUS, you're definitely smart enough to take this. then again maybe you'll be too smart and spoil the market, so they'll ban you) [Someone else: i think sci lecturers are weid (sic)]
"GEK2501: Understanding your Medications
Pre-requisite: Open only to 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students" (First years can't handle it? And it's too simple for those who do funky combinations and need an extra year/semester [or too hard for those who fail so many courses they can't graduate in time])
"CS2305S: Problem Solving in Computing
Topics in thinking and problem solving include logical and deductive reasoning, doing proofs, inductive reasoning and statistical analysis, fallacies and psychological traps, survey skills, abstraction and modelling, problem solving heuristics, creative thinking, and decision making."
Me: why got fallacies ah
Someone: computing has a lot of fallacies what
Me: ad hominem argument: "M$ sucks"
I still remember the time when I said that for the Medicine module about Women's health, the pre-requisite was to be female, and people believed me *facepalm*
Then again:
"GEK1541: Reproductive Health: What One Must Know
Pre-requisite: Both male & female students are eligible for the module."
Maybe someone believed me about Women's health and NUS found out about it. But then this discriminates against hermaphrodites... [Someone else: see, sci again]
