TS1101E / GEK1900: Introduction to Theatre and Performance
This module will provide students with foundational knowledge of the different aspects of, approaches and discursive contexts relating to the study and praxis of theatre and performance. The module will also introduce students to the various forms of classical and contemporary performance practices and their attendant modes of analyses: combining play analysis, theatre history & theory. Using complementary content-centered lectures and practice laboratory, the module creates an environment where students simultaneously engage with module content while investigating its relations to the creation of theatre and performance.
Assessment: This is a one of the most fun and entertaining modules in FASS. Content covered on the history, theories and application of theatre and performance is interesting and easy to understand. However, lecture attendance is crucial for the understanding of the course. Lectures are not webcast. Module assessment includes a play review and acting performances, but grading is relatively lenient. The main drawback of this module is the time spent rehearsing for graded performances which varies for each group. Thus, personal time management should be a point of consideration when taking this module.

Module review for GEK1900: Public Health in Action
Taken AY2014/2015 Semester 1
GEK1900: Public Health in Action
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.
Assessment: This module covers a large range of healthcare topics that really broadens students’ perspectives. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in healthcare. It does not require any prior knowledge of medical terms or concepts. There is no final examination. The module is 100% continuous assessment. The module format consists of 3 hour sessions every week with a lecture in the first hour, group work in the second (immediately after which a written report has to be submitted on ivle) and a group discussion and debrief by the lecturer. Each week’s session is based on a different topic and is taught by different lecturers.
This module can be used to fulfill GEM requirements as it is classified as both an Art and a Science GEM.
