University Town Writing Programme (UTWP) Pilot

UNIVERSITY TOWN WRITING PROGRAMME PILOT

OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS FROM:
FACULTY OF ARTS & SOCIAL SCIENCES (FASS), SCHOOL OF BUSINESS (BIZ), SCHOOL OF COMPUTING (SoC), SCHOOL OF DESIGN & ENVIRONMENT (SDE), FACULTY OF ENGINEERING (FoE), & FACULTY SCIENCE (FoS)

Dear Students,

We are pleased to announce that all students (freshmen and seniors) from the above Faculties/Schools may apply for a place in the new University Town Writing Programme (UTWP) pilot for Semester 1 of Academic Year 2009-10.

NUS is pioneering an innovative model of learning and teaching integrated into residential colleges at the new University Town. Part of this effort is the creation of a writing programme designed to bring undergraduates from various academic disciplines together so that they can discover and develop composition strategies common to all disciplines for producing writing that alters their own, their classmates’, and their professors’ knowledge of a given topic.

Two types of UTWP modules will be offered – namely Analytical Modules and Expository Modules. These modules are driven by a topic and readings accessible to first- and second-year undergraduates. Although each topic will reflect the concerns of a particular discipline, the writing skills students will develop are designed to be applicable to other disciplines and tasks throughout their academic life.

The following UTWP modules will be offered:
WP2210A Analytic Writing: Language Death
WP2210B Analytic Writing: Models of Press Freedom
WP2201A Expository Writing: Language Death
WP2201B Expository Writing: Models of Press Freedom

How and When to Apply

Please bid for these modules via CORS.

You will bid from your Programme Account

Places are limited - each module has only 15 places. As an incentive to encourage participation in these pilot modules, upon successful bidding, the module will be allocated at 1 bid point. You will be refunded the rest of your bid points.

Missing module information in IVLE even after allocation. How can I rectify this?

To Science Students Bidding for Elective Modules:

Science students who are able to see non-Science elective modules of their interest (e.g. EC1301) available for bidding in the early bidding rounds under the ‘Regular modules category’ should proceed to bid for it. The account type, module type code (e.g. 05, 07, 27, etc), modules category and bidding round will not affect how it will be used towards fulfilling your graduation requirements.

 

However, please note that the module code (different from the module type code) will affect how a module can be used to satisfy graduation requirements. For example, for cross-listed modules such as PC1322/GEK1520, if you bid under the PC code, it cannot be used to fulfill your GEM requirements. Thus, do ensure that when bidding for a module, you choose the code based on the requirements you intend to satisfy.

Registration of Level 5000 FASS Modules

Dear Undergraduates

Some of you have expressed interest in reading level-5000 modules to fulfil major requirements. You are allowed to read a maximum of 2 level-5000 modules, in lieu of your level-4000 module requirements. You will need to obtain the department’s approval and fulfil the module pre-requisites, if any.

Starting from AY2009-10, level-5000 FASS modules offered to undergraduates will be worth 5MC each and will have the suffix ‘R’ (for example: EC5555R).

As the registration for level-5000R modules will be done manually, you are advised to take the following steps:

(1) Check the timetable of the level-5000 modules that you intend to read. Look for the level-5000 modules without the ‘R’ suffix, for example: EC5322. EC5322R will share the same timetable as EC5322.

(2) Approach your major Department for approval.

(3) If your request to read a level-5000R module is approved, it will be pre-allocated to you at 1 bid point, from your programme account.

For further clarification, please send an email to FASHELP.
