Thoughts on AY18/19 Sem 2

My CAP fell hard this semester. I chose the wrong GEM and paid a heavy price for it. The GEM wasn't difficult but I'm a casualty of the steep bell curve. I got shitty grades for ES1531 as well. Not that it's unexpected but I'm slightly pissed that the amount of time I spent on both module and to get back such crappy results. If I were to describe my sem 1 results: not great but not bad either; but sem 2 is just plain bad... 

Thankfully my core modules helped cushioned the impact. For some reason, despite failing my midterms for MA1508E, I got a satisfactory final grade for it. My guess is the cohort tanked the final paper? I left a few questions blank as well so I'm not very sure.. The current plan now is to S/U both the ES and GEM modules. I'm also considering taking CS1010 during special term to hopefully push my crappy CAP up :(

Let's see how it goes. I'm starting to realise that maintaining my CAP at a certain level is not as easy as I initially thought, and I will probably have to let go. 

Cheers.
