Dear Vice Dean of NUS Law,
I am writing on behalf of the class to petition for LL4493 NUS Law and Technology to be a 5MC mod, instead of the current 4MC.
Reasons for change
1. Workload
- The course workload involves us learning a completely different subject field - computer programming.
- We have expended a significant amount of time in reading beyond the prescribed material because of how unfamiliar it is.
2. Subject Content
- The depth/amount of subject matter covered in the course thus far is comparable, or even more than a 5MC module.
3. Weekly assignments
- Due to the module's weekly graded assignments, we have dedicated significant time and effort consistently for this module.
4. Brand new course
- As this is a new module and we are the first batch of students, we believe we are the best audience to provide any forms of feedback and improvements.
- It is understandable that the workload is high since this is the first iteration, but 5 MCs would better reflect the realities of this course.
We hope that you consider our petition and hopefully approve it.
Signed,
Students of LL4493 NUS Law and Technology
The amount of coding we have to do for this is way too much for 4MCs. Really hope they adjust it to reflect the actual time put in.
