Taken in YR 1 SEM 1 (2014)
Very interesting module, and the final examinations are MCQ.
Lectures were very interesting, and speakers were brought in as well as
performances put up, to help us understand Japanese culture more. The module
was very enjoyable, but there was really a lot of content to memorise, since it
was not an open-book examination. Some MCQ questions also required us to
roughly memorise the map of Japan. It is very important to know your stuff
because the bell curve is really steep, and it was only after I took the module
that I learnt from seniors that it had a bad rep because of the bell curve. You
really have to be damn 'siao on' and passionate about the Japanese culture.
That does not only mean anime or the language nor Jdramas, that is only a small
portion of everything. This mod is largely on Japan's history aka the Meiji era
the shoguns, samurai era and stuff. I scored a C in the end, and S/Ued it, I
was so lucky I took it in my first sem when I had 5 'free' SUs.
