Course Review
Well, I’ve got another idea for posting… something?
I thought, why not write a review or comment about the course I took? So here I am with this post. Details like the grading scheme might not be entirely accurate since they can change over time, but I think giving you a glimpse of what the course looks like could be fun.
Before you start
Thanks to CUHK, we have quite a lot of courses to take, especially in general education. It depends on how you see it, but I think they are quite educational (at least for the courses I’ve taken so far, though it might be better if they weren’t credit-bearing).
With that said, I’ve categorized the following just for your information, in case you’re not familiar with what I’m talking about.
- Major Required
- Faculty Package (9)
- Foundation Course (16)
- Major Required (27)
- Major Elective (17)
- Major Final Year Project (6)
- Free Elective (9)
- University Core
- Language (8 + 5)
- Foundation GE * (6 + 7)
- College GE (6)
- Understanding China/Hong Kong (1 + 1)
- Digital Literacy and Computational Thinking (3)
- Physical Education
(*) depending on the faculty, the requirements may vary. For me, I need to take courses from UGEA, UGEC, and UGED.
Year 1 Semester 1
My memories of the courses I’ve taken this term are a bit vague, so I’m not able to provide detailed reviews. However, overall, the courses were quite manageable—mostly serving as a recap of math concepts, I suppose.
