Associate Chair (Academic)’s Message

A very warm welcome to the big family of the School of EEE. This represents one of the most

important milestones in your life. Since you are doing a coursework degree, let me share some

thoughts with you.

I believe that for most of you, your decision to embark on this journey is not an easy one, with

opportunity costs in the career and family fronts that you may have to forgo for now. Hence, it

is important to keep in mind your original intention to embark on this journey. Equally

important, you should also be mindful of the potential difficulties or obstacles that lie ahead

(time management, family commitments, uncertainty of the future employment, etc). It is

essential that you prepare and plan well for it, so that you are able to overcome the difficulties

or hurdles as they come along.

As you can see for yourselves by now, we are a big school with many opportunities. It is now

up to you to make the most out of it. We are in a time that the only constant is ‘change’.

Therefore, while you are fully immersed in your academic and research work, do pay attention

to the latest developments in science, technology, and social-economics. EEE does offer you

many opportunities so make sure that you always stay curious and hungry.

For some of you, this also means that you are away from your home country for the first time.

Therefore, it is essential that you find the support that you need. If at any time you need to

speak to someone, please do contact your supervisor, the Pastoral Care office in EEE, or the

friendly staff from the EEE Academic Programme Office. I also encourage you to participate

in the activities organized by EEE-Graduate Students Club. We are here to help make your

journey a memorable one.

With this note, let me wish you all the very best in your EEE journey.

Prof Shum Ping

7. COURSE REGISTRATION

All students are required to register courses by themselves through their GSLink. Normally,

there will be two course registration periods in Semester 1 and one course registration period

in Semester 2. In Semester 1, the first course registration period starts two weeks before the

beginning of each semester for existing students; the second course registration period starts

at the beginning of the teaching week of each semester for all students. Students are allowed

to add or drop course(s) during the two course registration periods.

It is the responsibility of each student to register courses for himself/herself. Students who

fail to register a course and yet proceed to attend classes in that course will not be allowed to

take the examination in that course, or no grade will be awarded to that course if it is one that

has no formal examination.

For new students, the specialised electives will be pre-registered in the first semester.

During the second course registration period (the first 2 weeks of each semester), students

can register additional electives or de-register any of the pre-registered specialised electives.

Page 8

For more detail information on the Graduate Course Registration System, please visit the

following Course Registration website:

http://www.ntu.edu.sg/Services/Academic/graduates/courseregistration/Pages/Default.aspx

10. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENTS (CAs)

CAs constitute part of the overall assessment for a course; the rest comes from the written

examination. CAs can be conducted in various ways as determined by the professors

teaching the course. Normally, there are based on assignments given and/or any tests

conducted. All students are urged to take all tests conducted by the professors seriously and

to submit all the given assignments on time. The weightage of CAs can be found in the

course list of each programme. Students are advised NOT to miss CAs, as this will result in

zero marks for the components if you are absent without approved Leave of Absence.

11. EXAMINATION

Students who have registered for any course must sit for the written examination in that

course. Should the student be absent from the examination, he/she would be deemed to have

sat and failed the examination.

Examinations are normally conducted from week 14 to week 17 of each semester. Two

weeks before the examination, the students will be notified through their NTU email account

to check and confirm the examination information for courses registered for that semester.

Normally, a reply is not expected unless the student wishes to contest his eligibility

described therein.

It is very important for students to update their particular through GSLink and the

Programme Lead about any changes in his/her postal address or contact number.
