Course Review NTU SPMS - Electives

This portion is for the electives! ======== PE / UE ======== BU8301 - Fundamentals of Business Law (Y2S1/3AU/BM) [S/U] Lecturer/Tutor: Mr Ram A Ganapathy Class Participation, Presentation (20%) - Grade: A- Finals (80%) Overall Grade:  S A 1.5hr lecture and a 1.5hr seminar weekly. Seminar attendance taken. The 20% CA consists of a tutorial presentation, and that's about it! The rest is just class participation. The finals is a 2.5h, open-book exam. If you are a person who dislike maths, don't wanna take BU8201 like the others, wanna clear Business PE or just want to have an open book exam, then this mod is for you! This module doesn't require memorising, since the exam is open book, but you will have to know how to apply the case laws and application. I find them rather applicable in real life, such as laws in purchasing items, and signing contracts which most of us will encounter in the future. Some basic knowledge is not bad. :) The difficult part comes when

Future job scopes will include data analyst / trend forecasters / model evaluators / etc. If your answer is YES: and you don't really mind which school is it, then you can consider both NUS stats / NTU stats.  If your answer is NO: Then don't bother with stats. If stats is the only reason in why you choose NUS, then the answer is straightaway NTU, and you can skip the rest of the post. If your answer is DUNNO: If you feel that you need some time to explore a math / stats route in detail, then perhaps it will be good to consider NTU MAS, as the track selection is do
