Finally, the examinations have ended. And now, it is about time for some module evaluation.
EE2004 – Electronic Devices
This a module on semiconductor theory. Can be very complicated and confusing. I read through the notes countless times, and in the end, things just don't get registered in my head. Too confused, lots of equations. And even when supplied with formula sheet, one will also need to know what those variables mean. I don't. Not too good I guess. Good tutor, however. He explained things really clearly, and emphasized more on concepts rather than just flashing the answers.
EE2005 – Electronics
This is a module on calculations and the usage of devices rather than the physics behind them, which were covered in EE2004. Actually, this is not a hard module, but then, concepts have to be very clear. One needs to know what to do at which stage. I don't, and end up confusing myself sometimes. Can be complicated at times, but tutor made them looked so easy. Another good tutor, which gave us a quick review on topics before going into the tutorial questions.
EE2007 – Microprocessor Systems
Interesting module, but very rushed for time for projects. It's like jumping blindly into a project without knowing what I am actually trying to do. It's not that I did not plan. It's just that, we learn more things as we go along, and it will be so troublesome to change things. Actually I enjoyed this module more than the rest, because of hands-on activities. But then, towards the end of the module, things get more and more boring, because they were teaching about hardware, and we were only studying the theory. No hands-on. So dry…
EE2011 – Engineering Electromagnetics
A module that I will get really excited over it and still forget about it. Quite interesting, if not for the first lecturer and a super knowledgeable but super fast tutor. It's very satisfying once you managed to solve a question and compare your answer with the standard solution and you realise that you got it correct. Lots of waves here and there.
GEK1536 – Computation and Machine: From Ancient to Modern
A very relaxed module. Interesting! I like it! Learning about things that I have never seen before: Egyptian numbers, Babylonian number system, Roman, Greek, etc etc etc. I did all the tutorials!
LSM 1301 – General Biology
Another relaxed module. Labs were interesting but then, not really that fun, because it's only 1 hour. Interesting. Good for non-biology students, but for me, I have 'O' levels Biology background and LSM1304 background, and so, I let go of this module slightly, as the final exam is open-book. The exam teaches one regarding textbooks: glossary and index sections are very helpful.
After my last paper, I took 963 from the AYE bus stop, supposedly with a plan to go to Causeway Point. In the end, I alighted at Bukit Panjang Plaza. Suddenly off-mood, don't know why. Walked around the shopping mall, and went to take LRT to Chua Chu Kang. Thought of finding Jianliang for lunch, but then, decided against it. Went to take 188 to IMM, and bought some stuffs from Giant and DIY shop.
Upon reaching home, I began to cut the wood that I have bought, and made measurements here and there, and there's the end product:
See my keyboard and mouse? I made the extension. I freed up one large area on my desk!
And now, my hands were really tired from all the sawing… ouch… I still have my shelf to build.
Here's the oven that I have bought from NTUC. What's cooking? Don't know. Some flour I think. Oven toasters are slightly harder to use as they make things chaota faster… Hmm… but better than nothing. Oh well.
