Me Time!

Interesting read. Mentions interdisciplinary learning. I didn’t know the history behind the founding of Coursera! Am taking a few courses thru it myself for fun, and I find the whole website & course structure/curriculum quite professionally put together. Doing at my own pace also suits my schedule.

When I first collected the mask I thought the kid size mask may be too small for dd2… but actually it is good enough.

I can only pray hard she will do well for this exam...my migraine or tension headaches have been bugging me of late.

@MP. ️ if smu offers those courses, I'd prefer smu (though I'd still need to scrutinise their core curriculum more closely). BUT, they're specialised (as the admissions personnel explained to us during virtual tea), so well... 🥰[/quote]

Yup! 'd spoken with 1 of the heads, AP LimHK (via zoom). Their interdisciplinary Acc/Law/Comp courses look attractive, especially Comp+Law. I made some notes+ screengrabs; & was also told that curriculum details can be found online. Then there's a very nice Mr Chua as well, who had kindly asked for feedback; so I'm reading up+ digesting the details first, collate questions, then shall email him later in the year. ;-)[/quote]

Your kids have interests in Acct/ Fin/ law related study, or I thought they are strong in bio chem fields ...

@MP. Just matching strengths, interests & marketability. 😅

SMU offers Economics as Bachelor of Science while NUS offers Economics as Bachelor of Social Sciences. Is there any significant difference between the 2, given a difference in name of degree?

[phtthp]

Did you check the difference in syllabus covered & taught, between


Bachelor of Science (Economics)

vs.

Bachelor of Social Sciences (Economics) ?

Any major component or topics, missing, not taught inside one of them ?

In those industry that employ Econs graduates, which one more recognized ?
