Comments for Module:

NM1101E is an exposure module, so it introduces the 3 areas of interest in CNM – communication management, interactive media design and media studies. Our 3 assignments were split accordingly:  design a PR proposal (goals, objectives, strategies, evaluation), website design and citizen science project proposal (interview + transcript). For many students who chose to specialise in a certain track in CNM, it is not a fair depiction of what CNM is really like. But it does serve to show the possible options you could possibly specialise in afterwards. Like many other exposure modules, it’s mostly breadth over depth, and there’s many things/names/events to remember, so be prepared to memorise.

Comments for Lecturer:

I remember Dr Lonce for his coffee and newspaper – he will take some time to introduce relevant events that appeared on the news. It can get boring, and it is not heavily tested (to the extent that I can’t remember what he shared with us oops). I sometimes find it hard to follow his lectures as I am unfamiliar with his accent, but I heard he’s a lot more engaging in tutorials.

NM1101; LONCE WYSE

Module: NM1101

Year Taken: 2014 Y1S1

Difficulty Level: 1/5

Comments for Module: I am aware the syllabus kept changing but during my term we had 3 assignments (1 individual, 2 group), 1 mid terms, and 1 final, and I nearly died. As all seniors have said, and I will say it again, NM1101 is not the best NM modules out there. It tries to cover too much and is of too little depth. Half the time I don’t know what’s the point of learning it, and other half I cannot see the link. It covers PR and design and media studies, which because yknow, it’s an exposure mod. The content are there, but the depth is lacking. Exams were all in MCQs, so it’s some kind of comfort. 

Rating for Module: 2/5

Comments for Lecturer: I feel like he doesn’t really care about this mod. He has a very carefree vibe that extends to lecture, where he reads the newspaper to us in lecture and drinks his coffee. I am very ???? Confused ???? 

To each his own but it’s just a bit disconcerting to me. Maybe it’s my first NM mod, or first sem of uni, or the dry content, but I am 24/7 clueless during lectures and cannot follow his lecture.
