Module Review

One of the more boring post that I will be doing:

A module review of the classes that I am taking in University of Aberdeen

PX2512 : Quantum Physics and Special Relativity
We had 2 teachers for this module and the first one, Prof Ross is simply hilarious, and the most vulgar and insulting teaching I have ever seen. Everybody loves him. See the email that he send for instance:

"Since the dawn of time, for the dinosaurs until their civilization fell, now for humans, in the brief period we have left before the penguins rise to conquer us for the hubris of naming a fairly poor biscuit after the most natty animal, all life has striven toward one goal. It has brought madness to many, riches to none, destroyed cities and continents, broken hearts and soured the most pure of love, annealed the souls of the truly great and left broken those too fearful to crest the highest peaks of knowledge and gaze upon the epiphany there waiting. I refer, of course, to delivering a perfect set of lectures on Special Relativity. (Like the vengeful ghost of that coward Einstein never could.) I've unquestionably done that now, and it's time to admit that there is nothing left for me here in Aberdeen. Finally I am free to pursue more financially rewarding employment (by selling my origami outside bus and train stations, vaccuuming money out drains and sewers, and setting fire to actual money and selling the ash to ash-collectors) and return to my true calling - my detective work. I assure you: from now on in this world, no matter how dark the night there will be no hiding place for evil.

I.e. There is no class this Friday. Ekke will be taking over PX2510 to teach you Quantum Mechanics. Lectures will start on Monday and be given by a man that my own mum described as "quite literally better than you in every possible way, Ross. Why did I even bother giving birth to you? You're rubbish."

Ross"

Having said that, I think he is great teacher and someone I would aspire to be like if I'm a teacher haha.

With 3 one hours lesson a week, and 3 CAs where the questions are given out one week in advance to prepare, its quite a relaxing module.

EG3593: Reservoir Engineering 1: Fundamentals
Taught by a really boring teacher. Overlap 2 hours of lecture with physics so I just went for physics instead. :P

There is also a lab and tutorial lesson in addition to the 3 hr lecture weekly. Bummer.

GL3524: Petroleum Geology and Reservoir Characterization
One of the more interesting course with 2 days of field trips!
Stuff taught was also more interesting!

GL4524: Petroleum Systems
6 Lectures + 1 3000word essay + 2 one day courses
So much for a lvl 4000 module. Seem quite easy to wing it. Even if I don't know a lot of the course materials.

EG3537: Dynamics 1A
Another Engineering module which gives a lot of problem. 6hr of lab! with assignments that is required to submit online fortnightly and notes that you have to copy in! sianxxx

Overall its pretty slack compared to NUS. But I'm on exchange after all. What do you expect haha!
