Setting my sights..
ARRRRGHH!!! Finally i remembered how to write an essay!!
Ms Anita Pillai once said that..
"You could sell ice to eskimos with your essays you noe Faizal!"
Well..after NS and a long break from study..i simply FOURGOT.. The key ingredient to an essay is the argument and the conclusion. Everything else in between just had to flow from paragraph to paragraph.. Its that simple. I loved writing essays when i was in JC, especially the argumentative ones. But to tell you the truth, i tink my younger sis can write well. (Maybe she loves to read thats why..the nerd of the family! Hehehe...) I dun have a vast armament of vocabulary like her...
Well, i am spending this D-4 days to my first exam paper to brush up on my writing skills. Its all about convincing the marker that your argument WERKS!! Content wise..u HAVE to show u learnt something from the lectures lahh..and plus points if you show that you CAN APPLY through uses of examples..(ones not given by the lecturers)!!
As for now..i tink im 60% ready in terms of content..i just need real-life examples to show that i know how to apply. I'm not crazy to revise thru ALL of the freakin' chapters though..spotted around a 1.5 ratio of qns to be answered (to have a sort of buffer). But that said...im skimming at least thru all of the module chapters. As said...
"THIS IS A MAKE OR BREAK SEM.."
I did not choose to take 6 modules this sem for fun. In terms of mid-term results, its been quite promising.
Scored full marks for my assignments in Game Theory.
A+ scores for both our essays in Development Econs.
Respectable scores lah in Geog, International Econs and Soci..
OK grades in my GEM..(I figure out that this wld be the worst!)
Well, shall state my aims before the exams...A realistic one la..
EC3371 - Development Econs - A+
EC3312 - Game Theory - A
EC3341 - International Econs - B+
GEM2900 - Intro to Probability and Stats - B+
SC1101E - Sociology - A-
GE1101E - Geography - A-
That roughly works out to me being able to bring up my CAP to 3.3-3.4 ?? PLS ARHH PLS ARRHH...
