My advice is sit back and chill...Sun Jul 26, 2009 07:22 AM Guess all the issues will be covered during the induction week and You're not obliged to choose modules first day - You'll have few weeks where You can attend all classes just to see each one - and then You're making Your final curriculum. |

It might be of interest to you to look through what the university site has to say about each module up for offer. That way you could take a peek at what you might be interested in. Mon Jul 27, 2009 07:12 AM You'll be able to get an idea of the curricular structure thats available to you to make up the 120 credits. i.e. you can see how many credits each module is worth and whether they run for the full year or just in either the 1st or 2nd semester. The full year modules are worth 30 credits and the single semester ones are worth 15 credits. If you identify which ones are in which semester, you'll at least know the pool of subjects that'll be available in each semester. I agree with Zathanel as regards chilling about it though. You'll only have to make your choices after you actually get some first hand experience. The University of Nottingham's website's descriptions and details of the modules are more than enough to help you structure a plan though. The rest need only be considered once you're there. |

Actually, the module choice is quite decisive, as it is important to find the right balance between courses being assessed by essays and those being assessed by exams.Sat Aug 08, 2009 03:22 PM I would not recommend choosing only essay-based courses, because you have to do quite an amount of research to get a good grade, so that you will have little time to do the reading lists for the classes. I had a mixture of two 3 hour exams and four essays, which is manageable. And in case of full year options, a three hour exam is way easier than a two hour exam and a 15 page essay. However, in case of doubt you should go for your interests. I did not abide by this rule and excluded a course merely on the grounds that it had a two hour exam and an essay, which meant that I would have had 3 exams and 5 essays. Later, however, I regretted that choice because I got really good grades but failed to attend an excellent course. So, good luck with your choices, and all the best! |
