demanding pace, different education system

HL started classes on Monday 25 Sept. He is doing 14 units this Fall Quarter.

Found the pace of studies here to be fast and demanding. Students are expected to read up before certain classes and complete assignments before lectures. There is actually this particular class where the professor requires students registering for his class to do a 2.4km run in the morning together to drive home the importance of discipline!

There are no tutorials, only lectures for subjects. Grading is determined by your combined performance and scores for assignments, projects and final exam.

HL is the only Singaporean in his School (CEM). Truly different experience from our NTU days...
