GL2103: Global Governance
Enjoyed this module. The lecturer was Nancy Gleason, but she’s no longer teaching this module. I heard that the previous module leader wasn’t as great, but Prof Gleason did a wonderful job here. Although I didn’t particularly enjoy the topic on environmental governance, I did enjoy learning about the UN, UNSC, genocides, IMF, WB, etc. It gives you a good idea of global governance, and a good foundation if you’d like to explore this area more in your undergrad years.
Assessment:
Report: 30% – Extensive research is needed for this! It’s like a mini-thesis I would say. For this, we were given the liberty to define our own report topics. And so, it’s really up to you! AWESOME
Project Presentation: 20% – Good group mates are necessary to score… Likewise, it’s up to us to define our own presentation topics!
Finals: 30% – Had to know all the readings, and then answer about global governance.
Participation: 10%

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.
