Module review for GL2101: Origins of the Modern World

Taken AY2014/2015 Semester 2


GL2101: Origins of the Modern World

I hate history. But this history module is an exception because it’s so interesting. It touches on new imperialism, world war II, the cold war period, slavery, etc. As the name of the module suggests, this module teaches the areas of history which point towards the origins of our modern world! Unfortunately, the lecturer, Akiko, only puts up key words in her powerpoint slides. Hence, if you’re a fast typer, I would suggest that you whip out your laptop and type down what she says during lecture, and piece them all together afterwards. The powerpoint slides alone is insufficient to score. Her words are therefore golden.

Assessment:

Tutorial participation: 10%

Mid-term Test: 20% – exams are super analytical, so you cant just regurgitate your facts like how you would do in school prior to university. So, be prepared to be flexible and always answer your question, preferably in an argumentative manner.

Writing project: 30% – I think it’s best to consult your tutor about your report because even as the lecturer states the specifics for this project, it can differ from what the tutor (who is your marker) expects from you.

Final Exam: 40% – look at what is written for the mid-term test.
