A Semester of Average Proportions

by Kah Hong

So the results were released at the start of the week, and for this semester there wasn’t really any suspense or apprehension preceding it. Having done pretty amazingly for one semester and immediately following up with a flop of results the next, I didn’t know what to expect this time round, although I did have an inkling post-examinations that I wouldn’t be doing too badly.

CS2103 Software Engineering: A+
CS3216 Software Development on Evolving Platforms: B
CS3240 Human-Computer Interaction: B+
MA1101R Linear Algebra: B
NM3215 Advertising Strategies: B+

CAP: 4.03

I think my results for the semester were only average, and in fact I would say I underperformed given that the aim I’ve set for my CAP score is 4.2. A shame is that I’m unable to exercise the S/U option for CS3216 Software Development on Evolving Platforms, because it’s not a core module and it’s pulling my CAP score down. I have two of these options left and only one General Elective module to take, so it seems like one of them will end up being wasted. That said, a positive thing I’ve taken from this semester’s result is that I managed to pass the Mathematics module, and so that’s a psychological victory of sorts. I haven’t looked ahead to what modules I’ll be taking next semester, but I know I’ll have to work harder then.
