Pre-allocation

The Faculty will randomly pre-allocate FAS1101 to all first-year FASS students.  Due to resource constraints, approximately half of you will read FAS1101 in Semester 1; with the remaining half reading FAS1101 in Semester 2. By the end of your first two semesters of study, all of you would have read and passed FAS1101.

Because of the large enrolment and the need to manage teaching resources, we regret that requests to swap FAS1101 between semesters will not be accepted. Students are required to read FAS1101 in the semester in which they have been pre-allocated.

Lecture and Tutorial Groups

WEC courses are taught in flipped classrooms, where students are required to access lecture videos on LumiNUS on their own, as well as attend 2-hour weekly tutorial classes.

Hence, there will be no lecture meetings.

You are required to register for tutorial groups for FAS1101.

Tutorial Registration (FAS1101)

1. Select Tutorials Round 1 and Round 2
   You have to indicate your preferred tutorial classes from Select Tutorials Round 1 during the Course Registration (ModReg) period. Please refer to the online ModReg schedule for the exact duration. You will rank up to 20 choices for your preferred tutorial slots and ModReg will allocate you a tutorial slot. At the end of Round 1, you should have secured a tutorial slot. Should you still not be able to secure a preferred tutorial slot, you will proceed to participate in Select Tutorials Round 2 or in the ‘Add/Swap Tutorials’ event.
2. ‘Add/Swap Tutorials’ operates on first-come-first-served basis
   For students who have yet to secure any tutorial slot after Round 2, you will have to manually add an available tutorial slot during the add/swap round (see below for procedures). If you have secured a tutorial slot during Round 1 or 2 you may swap your tutorial slot with another student should both of you indicate interest in the other party’s secured slot.
3. Manual tutorial registration period
   Should the remaining slots not be available if:
   (i) there are timetable clashes*
   (ii) you are unable to secure a timeslot after all the tutorial registration rounds or after ModReg appeals, you will have to manually register for a tutorial timeslot. Please submit your request via ModReg. Students who did not secure any tutorial class after Add/Swap exercise may be asked to discontinue reading the course with the appropriate penalty as decided by the faculty.

*You will have to provide documentary proof of timetable clashes with the remaining tutorial slots at the end of the add/drop/swap period before the Dean’s Office can look into your request. Otherwise, you will be allocated a tutorial slot which still has vacancies and does not clash with your timetable. Please refer to the Course Registration schedule for the latest dates.
