Financial Markets

Greetings once again,

Today's sharing will shift to something more related to my specialization: Financial Markets (Fin3103B)

If you were following my earlier posts, you would have known that I paid an exorbitant price this module and had earlier said that I sincerely hope that I can get an A for it. I... blotched it. But on to that later.

In general, I really enjoyed the module (you would be hearing that pretty often for my posts this Sem). Aside from the early morning class, the content was thoroughly enjoyable. Easy to understand, but difficult enough that it would require some cracking of brains during the exams. Since there was barely any homework, week after week was a simple task of attending and absorbing as much as I could during class time. Much of the content was simple facts, with one or two calculations per major topic.

The group project was to undertake a study on an assigned topic, and my group mates were very pleasant and enjoyable to work with. Sometimes I might complain about group mates, but really, this group (and this semester's groups in particular) leaves me with nothing but praise.

Prof Yeo made lessons engaging and I honestly have no bones to pick. I voted him best prof haha.

And so, on to exams. What is very peculiar about this module is that the mid terms take up 40% of the total weightage - something whose magnitude I failed to grasp until after I realized my grades were only average. Finals, on the other hand, is only 20%. What I should have done is put in 1394710839473x more effort during the mid terms and not slap my head at the end wishing I had done better. What's done is done. No sulking and crying over spilled milk.

What do I think I'll get? Probably a B+. How shameful! Meh

Happy Studying (if you're still studying) or Chilling (if you're having holidays now)
