UTown writing modules and FASS writing modules can be read to fulfil either Unrestricted Electives outside major or Breadth requirements.

Dean’s Office
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

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. 

(2) Ensure that there are no timetable clashes.  If there are, we will drop the module for you.

(3) Approach your major Department for approval.

(4) 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.

So what is GEK1900 Public Health in Action about?

Public health is in the news every day, from schools closing due to hand, foot and mouth disease to the banning of trans-fats in an entire city. But what is public health? Whereas doctors treat individual patients, public health is about the health of a whole population. Despite its importance, public health seems obscure and mysterious.

This module uses a population-based perspective to understand the broad forces behind development of disease and ill-health. Employing the evidence-based framework, expert lecturers will share experiences, discuss current issues and debate ethical dilemmas from cancer to pandemics, from AIDS to diabetes, from diet to disasters.

For more information about the module and assessments, please check it out in IVLE.

For appeals in lab group change (within the same semester), the student needs to fill in the “Appeal Form for lab group mutual swop”; and submit in person during the office hours to the reception counter at the Department Administration Office (S8 Level 3) by 28 Dec 2012.

If the student cannot submit the form in person, he/she should authorize another person to submit the form on his/her behalf.

Appeals will only be considered if there is timetable clash for essential / core / major compulsory modules and is subjected to vacancy availability.

Important: Students assigned with the module in Semester 2 has been pre-allocated. Students are strongly advised to schedule their other modules (lectures, tutorials, practicals, etc) based on their assigned CM2191/CM2192 lecture and laboratory session. This is to avoid timetable clash. CM2191 and CM2192 are essential modules for Chemistry students and is required as a pre-requisite for Level 3000 practical modules.

This email is regarding CM1191 pre-allocation in Sem 2 AY 2012/2013. If you have taken CM1191 in Sem 1, please ignore this email.

For students who have NOT taken CM1191 in Sem 1, please check the result of pre-allocation on http://www.chemistry.nus.edu.sg/education/undergrads/CourseResources/Notices%20for%20AY12-13.htm

For appeal of lab group change, please refer to the instruction given on that webpage as well.

Both CM1191 and CM1121 will be pre-allocated to you.  Please proceed to ballot for the tutorials via CORS once the module is reflected in your module listing.  Do inform Chemistry Admin Office via chmbox3@nus.edu.sg if you the modules are not in your module listings.
