If input validation fails or no +matching command is found, it returns an `Invalid` command instance. + +**Overview:** + +Below is a class diagram that shows the associations between `Parser` and `CommandMetadata` + +![ParserClassDiagram.png](diagrams/ParserClassDiagram.png) + +The`CommandMetadata` class is an abstract class that manages regular expressions (regex) and validation +for command arguments, allowing subclasses to generate specific **`Command` instances** based on **command keywords +and parsed arguments.** For every `Command` class, there would be a corresponding `CommandMetadata` class (with the +exception of `Invalid` command) that overrides the method `createCommandInstance` to generate the `Command` instance of +the specific `Command`. + +The `Parser` class maintains a list of these `CommandMetadata` subclasses instances and iterates through them to +identify a given user command. + +Further implementation details are available at "Parsing User Inputs" section under Implementation. + +**How it works (Sequence):** + +Below is a sequence diagram that shows how the `FAP` main method calls `Parser` to parse a `userInput` +for a `Command` to return: + +![ParserSequenceDiagram.png](diagrams/ParserSequenceDiagram.png) + +The method to parse and validate user inputs is handled in the `Parser` method `getCommand(String userInput)`: +1. `userInput` is first checked to see if it is null or empty.

If there is no match, return an `Invalid` command instance (on loop end) +4. If there is a match, the corresponding `CommandMetadata` class for the `keyword` is called upon, + and there will be a further attempt to match the `userInput` string with the command `regex` expression +5. If it does not match, the `CommandMetadata` class will validate the error in user string syntax, print out + an error message, and return an `Invalid` command instance +6. If it matches, the command `arguments` will be extracted out and the respective command class instance will be + created based on the overwritten method `createCommandInstance` in the respective `CommandMetadata` class + +--- +### Storage + +![Storage diagram](diagrams/Storage.png) + +**Code** : +[`Storage.java`](https://github.com/AY2324S2-CS2113-W14-3/tp/blob/master/src/main/java/seedu/duke/storage/Storage.java) + +The `Storage` class in the Future Academic Planner (FAP) application is essential for handling the persistence +of user and module data. It allows the application to maintain state between sessions by reading from and writing +to files. + +As of `v2.1`, the `Storage` class is capable of handling several critical functionalities: +1. **Saving Data**: It serializes the `User` and `ModuleList` objects into a text format and writes this information + to a specified file path. +2. **Loading Data**: It deserializes text data from a specified file path back into `User` and `ModuleList` objects. + +#### Key Functionalities + +1. **Saving User and Module Data** +- **Method**: `saveModulesToFile(String filePath)` +- **Description**: This method saves serialized user information and a list of taken modules to a specified file. + It first checks and, if necessary, creates the directory path provided in the filePath. It then initializes a + `BufferedWriter` to write the data efficiently. + +2. **Loading User and Module Data** +- **Method**: `loadDataFromFile(String filePath)` +- **Description**: This method loads user information and module data from the specified file. If the file does not + exist, it creates a new one and returns early to avoid errors. It reads the file line by line, updating the user and + module data within the application. + +3. **File and Directory Management** +- **Methods**: `createFile(String filePath)`, `ensureDirectoryExists(String filePath)` +- **Description**: These methods manage the file system interactions necessary for reading from and writing to files, + such as verifying directory existence and creating files as needed to prevent errors during the data load and + save processes. + +#### Usage in Commands + +- **SetCommand and ViewCommand**: These commands utilize the `Storage` class to persist changes to the user and + modules immediately after modifications, ensuring data integrity and continuity. +- **Startup and Shutdown**: On startup, `loadDataFromFile` is invoked to initialize the application state, and + on shutdown, `saveModulesToFile` is called to save the current state. + +#### Purpose + +The main purpose of the `Storage` class is to abstract the complexities of file management and data serialization away +from the core application logic. This simplification allows other parts of the application, such as commands and +controllers, to interact with user and module data more efficiently and reliably. + +Additionally, by handling data persistence, the `Storage` class ensures that user progress and configurations are not +lost between application sessions, thereby enhancing user experience and application reliability. + +#### Interaction with Other Classes + +- **Interacts With**: + - `User`: To save and load user-specific data like name and current semester. + - `ModuleList`: To save and load the list of modules the user has taken. + - `FileWriter`/`BufferedWriter`: Used within `saveModulesToFile` to write data to files. + - `Scanner`/`FileReader`: Used within `loadDataFromFile` to read data from files. + +--- +### Module Class and Module List Class +**Code**: +- [`Module.java`](https://github.com/AY2324S2-CS2113-W14-3/tp/blob/master/src/main/java/seedu/duke/modules/Module.java) +- [`ModuleList.java`](https://github.com/AY2324S2-CS2113-W14-3/tp/blob/master/src/main/java/seedu/duke/modules/ModuleList.java) + +The `Module` class and `ModuleList` class work together to store the data of the modules added by the user + +The `Module` class is responsible for containing the main attributes of a module such as moduleCode, moduleGrade, moduleMC, moduleTaken, moduleDate, gradedGradingBasis, and moduleDescription. These are relevant attributes that other classes use for certain actions done by the user. + +The `ModuleList` class is responsible for managing the attributes contained in the `Module` class. They are mainly actions that value add to these attributes. For example, calculating the total amount of MC (module credit) the user has, calculating the GPA the user has, changing the grade of a certain mod, or adding a new module. + +Hence, these are not just simple getters and setters, instead actions that value add to the attributes of the `Module` class, letting the user use them for different purposes in real life. + +This design allows a separation of concern which separates the purpose of each of these two classes and ultimately leads to higher cohesion and lower coupling. + +Below is the class diagram of how the module and modulelist class interacts with other relevant classes + +![Module diagram](diagrams/ModuleList.png) + +--- +### Command + +Here's how the `Command` class interact with the other classes: + +![Command diagram](diagrams/Command-0.png) + +How the `Command` component works (together with other classes): + +1. When the user's input is received in `FAP.java`, it is passed into the `Parser` class which then creates an instance + of the `Command` object. +2. The object would be a specific implementation of the `Command` class (i.e. `AddCommand`, `ViewCommand`, etc.) +3. The specific `Command` subclass would then be present in `FAP.java` as a new `Command` object +4. `execute()` is then called on the object to perform its task. + +## Implementation +This section describes some noteworthy details on how certain features are implemented. + +### Parsing User Inputs + +**Use of regular expressions (Regex) in FAP:** + +The add command class requires a user input that best matches this string +``` +add c/COURSECODE w/SEMESTERTAKEN +``` +where `COURSECODE` and `SEMESTERTAKEN` have their defined restrictions: `COURSECODE` should best match an actual +course code at NUS, `SEMESTERTAKEN` should be a number value in some range. The `COURSECODE` and `SEMESTERTAKEN` +will thus have their own argument regex pattern. + +A simple regex example would be that `SEMESTERTAKEN` would be a number ranging from 1-8 to represent a normal honours +pathway for a CEG student (FAP's target user). A regex pattern for that could look like `w/(?[1-8])` (In this +case, `w/` is used as a `delimitter` but it is not **strictly** neccessary **unless** the `regex` have special +conditions such as allowing whitespaces). An **argument name capturing group** `semester` is enclosed within the +brackets so that the argument group will be **named** and thus the argument value (anywhere between `1-8`) can be +referenced/called and retrieved by using the `Matcher` method `group()` with the argument `"semester"`. +Meanwhile, the java utility classes `Pattern` and `Matcher` would handle the checks that the argument value given +is indeed between `1-8`. + +A userInput regex for FAP would thus follow this convention: +``` +keyword argument_1 argument_2 ... +``` +This full regex pattern for a command itself can be generated by having a `keyword`, as well as all the +argument `group names` (a name to use so as to _reference_ the argument) and the argument `regex` pattern +corresponding to that name reference. Typically, these arguments should be spaced out and thus a `\s+` (representing +at least one whitespace character) is placed between the gaps of the regex pattern for +`keyword, argument_1, argument_2...` + +While regex allows the `userInput` checks to be prudent, as well as potentially offering the flexibility for string +inputs to allow a different order of arguments, there are limitations where it becomes hard to determine the exact +error of the user's input solely based on the regular expressions, because it solely returns a true/false value +if the string value itself fits the `regex` criteria given. Regardless, we think the use of regex in FAP can help provide +us **safety in the arguments** that passes through to the commands via the userInput. + +**Developer usage FAP: Parser & CommandMetadata class as of `v2.1`**: **How to create a new command** + +- First, we need a `Command` type class to return as an object. In the future, this may be expanded to any `T` type. +- Second, we need a string that would be used to create this `Command` instance. This string should follow the + format `keyword argument_1 argument_2...` where the `keyword` is mandatory, `argument_1, argument_2...` + are **optional**. +- Third, for every argument available, make a **regex pattern with name capturing** that encloses the value within the + brackets. (e.g., `n/(?[A-Za-z0-9 ]+)`, `g/(?[ab][+-]?|[cd][+]?|f|cs)`) + +**Using example `add c/COURSECODE w/SEMESTERTAKEN`** +- Create a subclass that extends `CommandMetadata`. +- Put in the `keyword` (e.g., `add`) and `groupArgumentNames` (e.g., `{"courseCode", "semester"}`) in the superclass + constructor. +- Define the argument regex pattern in the static variable `argsRegexMap` with the corresponding `groupArgumentName` and + argument `regex` pattern. + - Note: Currently `argsRegexMap` is in the superclass `CommandMetadata` + (e.g., `argRegexMap.put("semester", "w/(?[1-8])")`). +- Override the method `createCommandInstance(Map args)` to implement the method on how to create + the `Command` object you want. Return the `Command` instance. + - Note: `Map args` contains the `groupArgumentName : argumentValue` pairing. +- In the `Parser` class, add the created `CommandMetadata` subclass to `metadataList`. +- The `Parser` method `getCommand(String userInput)` will help validate the `userInput`. If the `userInput` matches + the string you wanted, then `getCommand(String userInput)` will return the Command instance you require. + +Sample `CommandMetadata` example code: +```java +public class AddCommandMetadata extends CommandMetadata { +private static final String ADD_KEYWORD = "add"; +private static final String[] ADD_ARGUMENTS = {"courseCode", "semester"}; + +public AddCommandMetadata() { + super(ADD_KEYWORD, ADD_ARGUMENTS); +} + +// Add Command Creator +@Override +protected Command createCommandInstance(Map args) { + String moduleCode = args.getOrDefault("courseCode", "COURSECODE_ERROR"); + String semester = args.getOrDefault("semester", "SEMESTER_ERROR"); + int semesterInt = Integer.parseInt(semester); + + return new AddCommand(moduleCode, semesterInt); +} +``` + +`v2.1`: **Optional** regex arguments is now supported (eg. `userInput` regex expressions `view` and `view c/COURSECODE` +can now be both valid). This feature is still under testing. + +**Here is an extended developer usage guide:** +- For every argument that can be optional, a new `String[]` has been introduced. This `String[]` should match the + length of the regular `String[]` containing the argument names. Each element in this new array should indicate whether + the corresponding argument is optional or mandatory. For instance, if `courseCode` is mandatory, and `semester` is + optional: + +```java +private static final String[] ADD_ARGUMENTS = {"courseCode", "semester"}; +private static final String[] ADD_ARG_FLAGS = {"mandatory", "optional"}; +``` + +- Put the new `String[]` inside the superclass constructor, an example is as follows: + +```java +public AddCommandMetadata() { + super(ADD_KEYWORD, ADD_ARGUMENTS, ADD_ARG_FLAGS); +} +``` + +- Otherwise, if all argument `regex` is mandatory, there is no need to include it in the superclass constructor: + +```java +public AddCommandMetadata() { + super(ADD_KEYWORD, ADD_ARGUMENTS); +} +``` +--- +### Saving modules to file + +The `Storage` class is responsible for managing the persistence of user and module data to and from files. +This document section focuses on the `saveModulesToFile` method, which saves the current user's information and their +module list to a specified file path. + +#### Method: `saveModulesToFile` + +```java +public static void saveModulesToFile(String filePath) throws StorageException { + try (BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filePath))) { + writer.write(toString(user) + System.lineSeparator()); + for (Module module : moduleList.getTakenModuleList()) { + writer.write(toString(module) + System.lineSeparator()); + } + } catch (IOException | SecurityException e) { + throw new StorageException("An error occurred while saving modules to file: " + filePath); + } +} +``` + +#### Parameters: +- `filePath` - The path of the file where the data is to be saved. + +#### Throws: +- `StorageException` - if an error occurs during the file writing process. + +#### Process Description: + +1. **File Writing Setup**: + - Initializes a `BufferedWriter` wrapped around a `FileWriter` to write text to the file efficiently. + This setup benefits from buffered writing, which minimizes the number of physical disk writes. + +2. **Writing User Data**: + - The user's data is converted to a string format and written to the file first, followed by a + newline character to separate entries clearly. + +3. **Writing Modules Data**: + - Iterates over the list of taken modules (`moduleList.getTakenModuleList()`), converting each module + to a string format and writing it to the file. Each module entry is written on a new line. + +4. **Resource Management**: + - The `BufferedWriter` is declared within a try-with-resources statement, ensuring that it is closed at + the end of the statement block, regardless of whether the operation completes successfully or fails. + +#### Error Handling: +- Catches `IOException` and `SecurityException`, throwing a `StorageException` with a message detailing the failure. + This encapsulation of exceptions provides a clear API for the method, simplifying error handling for the caller. + +#### UML Sequence Diagram Explanation + +Below is the UML sequence diagram for the `saveModulesToFile` method, illustrating the interactions +between components during the file-saving process. + +![StorageSequenceDiagram.png](diagrams/StorageSequenceDiagram.png) + +#### Steps Illustrated in the Diagram: + +1. **Main Initiates Save**: + - The `FAP` class (or the main method) calls `saveModulesToFile`, passing the file path where + data needs to be saved. + +2. **Storage Operations**: + - **Directory Check**: Verifies or creates the necessary directory. + - **File Writer Setup**: Sets up the `BufferedWriter` and `FileWriter`. + - **Data Writing**: + - Writes user data. + - Iteratively writes data for each module in the `ModuleList`. + +3. **Completion**: + - Once all data is written, the `BufferedWriter` is closed (implicitly by the try-with-resources), + which also flushes the buffer to the file, finalizing the write operation. + +--- +### View Commands + +User input is passed to `Parser.getCommand()`, which determines that the input contains the keyword `view`, which +branches out depending on whether it is followed by a `c/COURSE_CODE` (refer to the `Parser` implementation +on how it detects optional inputs). + +- #### View Schedule (without `c/COURSE_CODE`) + +1. Calls `ModuleList.getModuleMySemester()`. +2. Subsequently, calls `Ui.java`'s `printScheduleHeader()`, `printModulePlan()`, and `printScheduleDetails()`. + +- #### View Specific Course Information (with `c/COURSE_CODE`) + +1. Checks if the course exists in NUS AY23/24 by calling `JsonManager.moduleExist()`. +2. In the event the method returns `false`, else it + calls `JsonManager.queryModuleInfo()` to get the module's relevant details (i.e. course title, MCs and description). +3. It prints out a statement stating the module does not exist if point 1. returns false, else it prints out the + module information. + +The following diagram illustrates how the `ViewCommand` operates when `execute()` is called: + +![ViewCommand Sequence Diagram](diagrams/ViewCommand-0.png) + +- #### View Courses Needed to Graduate + This feature is implemented under the `ViewGraduateCommand` instead of the previous `ViewCommand` as it is invoked + under a different keyword (i.e. `graduate`). + +1. User input is passed into `Parser.getCommand()`, it returns an instance of `ViewGraduateCommand` and `FAP.java` will + call its `execute()` method. +2. It gets the modules left to complete by `ModuleList.getModulesToComplete()` which loops over all the modules in the + user's `ModuleList` and checks it against `CEGModules` to see if it is a valid CEG Module, or if its equivalent + exists (e.g. CP3880 and EG3611A). +3. If the exact module is found in `CEGModules`, the module and its equivalent will not be added to + the `modulesToComplete`. +4. `printModulesToComplete()` is called and prints out the required modules based on the `modulesToComplete`. + +The following diagram illustrates how `ViewGraduateCommand` operates when its `execute()` method is called: + +![ViewGraduateCommand Sequence Diagram](diagrams/ViewGraduateCommand-0.png) + +--- +### Adding a Module ### + +#### **Classes Involved:** +- **`Module`**: Manages the important attributes of an academic module. +- **`ModuleList`**: Manages a collection of academic modules. +- **`JsonManager`**: Handles operations related to reading from and writing to JSON files. +- **`AddCommand`**: Check for the state of module (whether it exist in NUS and already exist in ModuleList) and + handle them appropriately + +**`Module` Class:** +- Purpose + - Represents an academic module, holding information such as the module code, credits (MCs), grade, and description. +- Key Methods + - **`setModuleGrade(String moduleGrade)`** + Sets the grade for the module.

It facilitates operations such as adding, removing, retrieving modules, + calculating GPA, and grouping modules by semester. + +- Key Methods + - **`addModule(Module module)`** + Adds a new module to the list. Throws `IllegalArgumentException` if the module is `null`. + - **`getModule(String courseCode)`** + Retrieves a module by its course code. Throws `ModuleNotFoundException` if the module is not found. + - **`removeModule(Module module)`** + Removes a specified module from the list. + - **`changeModuleGrade(String moduleCode, String grade)`** + Changes the grade of a module identified by its course code. + - **`tallyGPA()`** + Calculates and returns the GPA based on the modules in the list. + Throws `GpaNullException` if there are no modules + with countable grades + - **`groupModulesBySemester()`** + Groups modules by their semester and returns a map where each key is a semester, and each value is a list of + modules in that semester. + +#### **Flow and Interactions:** +- Main point of entry is `AddCommand` class where it will check the user commands passed by the Parser class. The check is to see if the module exist in NUS and in the moduleList. +- If the module exist in NUS and is not a duplicate (does not exist in moduleList), then the `addModule` method in ModuleList is called which will instantiate a `Module` object +- If the module does not exist in NUS or is a duplicate, an exception is throw which are shown are below, + +#### Error Handling +- `ModuleAlreadyExistException`: Thrown if there are duplicate modules in ModuleList +- `ModuleNotFoundException`: Thrown if module does not exist in the NUS list of modules +- `WrongSemesterException`: Thrown if the user attempts to add a module in a semester which it is not available to be taken in + +--- +### Getting module details from Json File (JsonManager Class): + +#### Overview + +The `JsonManager` class is designed to manage and interact with module information stored in a JSON format. It +provides functionalities for checking the existence of modules, retrieving module information such as Modular +Credits (MCs), description, and title from a JSON file. + +#### Constructor: + +- `JsonManager()`: Initializes a new instance of the `JsonManager` by loading the module information from a JSON + file located at `/moduleInfo.json`. + +#### Methods: + +- Module Existence + + - **`moduleExist(String moduleCode)`**: Checks if a module with the specified code exists in the JSON data. + - **Parameters**: `String moduleCode` - The code of the module to check for existence. + - **Returns**: `boolean` - `true` if the module exists, `false` otherwise. + +- Module Information Retrieval + + - **`getModuleInfo(String moduleCode)`**: Retrieves detailed information about a module, including its Modular + Credits, description, and title, based on the module code. + - **Parameters**: `String moduleCode` - The code of the module for which information is to be retrieved. + - **Note**: This method updates the internal state of the `JsonManager` object with the retrieved module + information. -## Design & implementation +- Information Accessors -{Describe the design and implementation of the product.

This will also tabulate the current number MCs +taken based on the number of modules that have been assigned a grade in the planner. One thing to look out for will be +modules that have been assigned S or CS, as those modules will not be accounted for in GPA calculation, but will affect +the number of MCs that the user have yet to take. + +Next, the program will tabulate the GPA needed for the remaining MCs in order to achieve desired GPA when combined with +current GPA. This is based on the formula +``` +Desired GPA = (Current GPA * MCs taken) + (GPA to attain * MCs not taken) / (total MCs) +``` + +NOTE: +- Total MCs is the total number of MCs that get contributes to GPA by graduation, thus not accounting for modules that +are CS/CU. +- In this version, we assume user will only take a maximum of 160MCs. In future implementations, the user can change +that option, which will affect the GPA to attain. +- In this version, if user has already inputted more than 160MCs worth of modules, the code will throw an exception and +stop. + +If (GPA to attain) calculated is more than 5 or less than 0, it means that it is not feasible to reach the desired GPA. + +If (GPA to attain) is feasible, we will try to find the easiest way to achieve desired GPA. As there are many different +combinations, we will just work with two grades closest to (gpa to attain), the one directly above (named upperBound) +and directly below (named lowerBound). + +For example, if (GPA to attain) is 4.25, then upperBound will be "A-" (grade = 4.5), and lowerBound will be "B+" (grade += 4.0). + +Note: +- Assume the remaining modules to be taken are all 4 MCs + +Initialise a variable, mockGPA, to keep track of the future GPA. mockGPA is initialised to lowerBound grade value. + +Using a while loop: +- Checks if mockGPA is above (GPA to attain) +- If yes, we will need one more upperBound grade +- Else, the user can just take one more lowerBound grade +- Update mockGPA +- Stop the loop once total MCs is reached + +After the final iteration, mockGPA could be below (GPA to attain) as adding one more lowerBound grade can push mockGPA +to be lower than (GPA to attain). To fix this, we just need to increment number of upperBound by 1 and decrement number +of lowerBound by 1. + +With this, we can find the least number of upperBound grade the user need to attain to achieve their desired GPA. + +Below is the sequence diagram of the entire function: +![Desired GPA Sequence Diagram](diagrams/DesiredGpaSequence.png) + + + +## Appendix: Requirements + +--- +### Product scope + +#### Target user profile + +Computer Engineering (CEG) Student at NUS ++ has a lot of modules to manage ++ need to calculate the gpa fast without having to go to the school website ++ is reasonably comfortable using CLI apps ++ can type fast ++ wants to predict what grades to get to secure a certain GPA + +#### Value proposition + ++ User can plan the modules they want to take in the future ++ User can add the modules they have taken so far to keep track of them ++ User can calculate their current GPA ++ User can calculate what are the grades they need to get based on the input desired GPA ++ User can view their academic plan across all his/her semesters ++ User can save their academic plan upon quitting the program and view them later + + +### User Stories + +| Version | As a ... | I can ... | So that I can ... | +|---------|------------------------|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| +| v1.0 | Student User | Add modules | Add in modules that I have taken or plan to take | +| v1.0 | Student User | Remove modules | Remove wrong inputs | +| v1.0 | Student User | View modules that I have inputted | Track the modules I have added | +| v1.0 | Student User | Insert module grade | Track my grades | +| v1.0 | Recurrent Student User | View my GPA | Keep track of my overall performance | +| v1.0 | New Student User | Add my name | Personalise my app | +| v2.0 | Recurrent Student User | Input my current semester | Use features related to my current semester | +| v2.0 | Recurrent Student User | Store my data | Load my progress from my previous usage | +| v2.0 | Student User | View modules needed to graduate | See which modules I still need to plan for | +| v2.0 | Recurrent Student User | Check feasibility of desired GPA | Work towards my ideal GPA | +| v2.0 | New Student User | View commands for CLI | Navigate the app | +| v2.1 | Student User | View module details | Find out more about a module | + +### Use Cases + +#### Use case: Adding of Module +1.

Innovation means that a new product, a new service or a new process is developed and pushed into the market. The range, scope, and complexity of the\nissues related to the creating and implementing something new is discussed. At the end of the course, the students will have learnt how to innovate.\n\nThe second objective of this course is to provide students with an opportunity for “hands-on” knowledge on starting an entrepreneurial firm. This objective will be accomplished by developing new ideas and asking the question on how one can implement them in the market and by doing\nhands-on interviews with entrepreneurs who have gone through the experience of founding a new venture.\n\nThe course utilizes class discussions of weekly assignments, brief lectures and case discussion. The course is based on an evidence-based management perspective in which there is careful discussion of what is known, what is conjecture, what is (useful) gut feeling and where does new knowledge come from and how it can be used. Discussion of assigned readings and cases and the completion of a field project are integral to meeting the course objectives.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"gradingBasisDescription":"New Grading Basis","semesterData":[{"semester":1,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"BMA5405","title":"Managing Change","description":"","moduleCredit":"4","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","gradingBasisDescription":"New Grading Basis","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"BMA5405A","title":"Topics in Managing Change","description":"This 2 unit course will focus on the imperatives for organizational change as well as some key ideas for bringing about organizational changes—including developing a vision and cross-cultural implementation of change.

On the social front, there is a rising interest among employees to create something meaningful on their own. Increasingly, employees have a strong need for individual autonomy and expression in their workplace. In the absence of such freedom, talented employees may leave out of frustration to search for an institution that can provide the meaning and the environment to achieve their self-actualization. Corporate entrepreneurship is one method of stimulating and capitalizing on employees’ need to think of new ideas and do things better for their organisation. On a business level, an organization needs self-renewal, which involves transformation through redefinition of its business concepts, reorganization of its business relationships and reengineering of its business processes. Creating a new venture from scratch is challenging, but developing it within an existing organization is a totally different ball game. This course focuses on corporate entrepreneurship with four key elements: new business venturing, innovativeness, selfrenewal and proactiveness. It has two primary objectives. First, the course aims to enable the students to apply corporate entrepreneurship-related concepts in practice. Second, it seeks to broaden the students’ education by helping them to appreciate the application of corporate entrepreneurship knowledge to companies.

In Channel Management, not much attention is usually paid to understanding marketing channels in detail. In fact people used to call channels the `dark continent of marketing, that is best left to `truckers?. But, is this true? One can make at least four observations: long term commitment of channel related decisions, existence of channel power play, market dynamics caused by channel changes, and the impact of internet on channel intermediaries. All these issues are very difficult to comprehend and solve if we do not understand what channels are for. Channel management is not just managing the retailers and the trucks and delivery personnel, but it is much larger than that. In Pricing, the one element of marketing strategy that is least understood and hence constantly feared by many managers is pricing. This is because pricing is a very complex issue. On one hand, it is supposed to reflect all the strategic steps the company has taken to bring the product to the consumer and convince him/her to buy it as well. On the other hand, it is supposed to reflect what the consumer would get out of the product by paying that price to acquire it. Will there be a match between the two? Perhaps and perhaps not. This dilemma makes it imperative for a manager needs to understand and analyze various factors in arriving at an appropriate pricing strategy. And, pricing does not operate in vacuum. It has to be married with other elements of the marketing strategy, including the channel management we discuss in this course. Thus, understanding the broader picture of the various elements of pricing, and building a scientific framework on pricing will always be reliable and better in the long run.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"gradingBasisDescription":"New Grading Basis","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"BMA5511A","title":"Special Topics in Channels & Pricing Strategy","description":"This is a course meant for two important marketing mix variables, Channel Management and Pricing.

Yet most MNCs are currently doing a poor job exploiting these opportunities. Why is this? What obstacles are preventing MNCs from growing their business in emerging markets and what can be done to convert these challenges into opportunities? All companies operating in emerging markets face two major hurdles: low purchasing power and a high number of institutional voids. Succeeding in such an environment requires addressing both issues simultaneously. While a local company might be familiar with this, it is a new and inconvenient reality for large foreign MNCs. These organizations have to learn how to serve customers with very different purchasing power and needs. From mobile money to eye surgery, frugal innovations that characterize the art of offering 80% value at 10% of the price have been the hall mark of success of many local firms in emerging economies. Offering high value at a low price requires the difficult task of combining product innovations with innovative ways of reconfiguring the delivery system. Given the importance of governments and regulators in many of these economies, an understanding of how to navigate through regulatory minefields is also critical for sustaining competitive advantage in these markets. The objective of this session is to illustrate how success in emerging Asia requires an ability to combine “value innovation” with “business system innovation” to reconfigure the way value is delivered.","moduleCredit":"2","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","gradingBasisDescription":"New Grading Basis","semesterData":[{"semester":2,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"BMC5125","title":"International business and internationalisation","description":"This topic covers major issues related to the internationalization of businesses in South East, East and South Asia, alongside the management issues endemic to multinational enterprises operating in the same region.

It is where growth is going to come from and where some of the most important innovations and competitors will emerge. Yet most MNCs are currently doing a poor job exploiting these opportunities and earn just 17% of their total revenue from these markets. Why is this? What obstacles are preventing MNCs from growing their business in emerging markets and what can be done to convert these challenges into opportunities? All companies operating in emerging markets face two major hurdles: low purchasing power and a high number of institutional voids (e.g. poor infrastructure, limited access to health and education, pollution, lack of transparency and a weak regulatory framework). Succeeding in such an environment requires addressing both issues simultaneously. These organizations have to learn how to serve customers with very different purchasing power and needs. Offering high value at a low price requires the difficult task of combining product innovations with innovative ways of reconfiguring the delivery system. Given the importance of governments and regulators in many of these economies, an understanding of how to navigate through regulatory minefields is also critical for sustaining competitive advantage in these markets.","moduleCredit":"2","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[1,0,0,2,2],"gradingBasisDescription":"New Grading Basis","semesterData":[{"semester":3,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"BME5103","title":"Asian Family Business","description":"Family firms play an important role in all economies, but especially so in Asia, where family firms not just dominate the small firm category but also constitute the majority of companies listed on most Asian stock exchanges.

It will examine a variety of business-related networks. These include entrepreneurial networks of resource providers and alliance partners; networks of communication and coordination within established organizations; supply chain and marketing channel networks; informal networks in and outside organizations that confer influence and advance careers; cross-border networks for doing business globally.\nManaging in the contemporary global economy is much more about managing networks than hierarchical organizations through fixed chains of command. Both within organizations and between them, the paths to productivity, innovation, and success lie in astute networking. Network management and leadership demand different capabilities from those necessary to run a single firm or division within it. Communication, persuasion, collaboration, negotiation, emotional intelligence, flexibility, trust-building, reciprocity, and responsiveness are all essential. However, good network management requires more than “soft” or interpersonal skills. Given the complexity of business networks today, familiarity with the technical tools of network analysis can be very helpful as well. A highly technical science of networks now exists. Managers should learn how to use that science in analyzing and engineering their networks for superior performance.\nWe will approach the problem of managing networks from two perspectives, “up” and “down.” “Up” refers to your vantage point as an individual actor, crafting your personal network, positioning yourself within it, and leveraging it for professional advantage and success. “Down” is your vantage point as an executive charged with responsibility for the functioning and success of the network as a whole; for example, within a division or functional area or a supply chain or distribution system.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"BIZ Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,4,3],"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"BMS5801","title":"Communication and Influencing Skills for Managers","description":"The course aims to develop students, as future managers, in the core competencies to communicate with influence in order to build trust, gain cooperation and support, secure loyalty and commitment, and motivate and inspire positive change in the 21st century workplace that is characterised by constant change and cultural diversity.

In seeking answers to these questions, the seminar touches on broad themes of interdependence, innovation, and readiness.

Large Asian family firms - the focus of this course - are often organized into corporate groups, and this type of economic organization has lost its attractiveness in many other parts of the developed world, but continues to be important in most emerging economies. In many ways, the Asian family firm defies the wisdom of strategic management. Its demise continues to be predicted, but does not appear imminent. This course provides students the opportunity to develop deep skills and understanding of the strategy and governance of family firms, and focuses in particular on strategic issues faced by family firms in Asia. Topics include characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of family ownership and management, succession of ownership and leadership, governance of family businesses, and how to grow and sustain the legacy of family business.

Tropical coastlines support some of the highest densities of human population worldwide. The high biodiversity in unique habitat also provide rich fisheries and mineral resources. Prudent management of such a complex ecosystem requires a good knowledge and understanding of not only its physical, chemical and biological components, but also the interactions between these components. The nature of these interactions is often unique to the tropics, and most of these are poorly understood. The course provides a systematic approach to understanding the nature of the tropical environment, drawing from local, regional and international examples. Impacts of human activities, and the tools and techniques needed for management, will be discussed. The course is directed at students at the post-graduate level from the M.Sc.

These policies are demonstrated at both microeconomic and macroeconomic levels. The distinguishing feature of this demonstration is the recognition of the laws of thermodynamics and ecological resilience. The microeconomic analysis will begin with a critical review of basic concepts pertaining to consumption, preferences, demand, production, costs and markets. The standard approaches to natural resource management would be then considered in the light of this critical review. The internalization of thermodynamic principles and other scientific paradigms into the analytic frameworks of microeconomics can prompt deviations from the standard approaches to resource management. The macroeconomic analysis begins with methods of environmental accounting, which recognizes nature as capital besides labour and manufactured capital. The validity of this perception will be tested by recourse to a simple macroeconomic framework, which explicitly regards all natural resources as an aggregate item of capital. The class will be guided towards the formulation and application of this macroeconomic framework for the analysis of sustainable development. The final section of the course concerns the assembly of various management policies that strive for sustainable development.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"CDE Dean's Office","faculty":"College of Design and Engineering","workload":[3,0,0,4,3],"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"DEP5101","title":"Urban Analysis Workshop","description":"Not Available","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Architecture","faculty":"College of Design and Engineering","workload":[1,4,0,1,4],"attributes":{"fyp":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":1,"covidZones":["Unknown"]}]},{"moduleCode":"DEP5101A","title":"Qualitative Methods for Urban Planning","description":"Planners deal with a myriad of issues and have to work with various planning processes to deal with them.

At the micro‐level, communicative practices include talk (face‐to‐face encounters) and text (e‐mail, memos). At the macrolevel, they include institutional narratives that specify the organizational culture and identity, with implications for how management and staff are expected to fit into the organization. This course introduces students to advanced concepts in pragmatics and sociolinguistics, and how these can help us better understand the social dynamics of work‐related settings. Possible topics (i) the construction of professional identities, (ii) intercultural communication, and (iii) the management of service encounters.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"English,Ling.andTheatre Studies","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,4,3],"prerequisite":"If undertaking an Undergraduate Degree THEN ( must have completed EL1101E at a grade of at least D)","attributes":{"mpes1":true,"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"EL3258","title":"The Sociolinguistics of Humour: Jokes and Comedies","description":"This course is about understanding language through the vehicle of humour.

This course will highlight the various means of fund raising for new or young ventures, with special emphasis on the analyses and requirements of the professional venture capital funds, which have made significant contributions in nurturing many promising young companies into multi-billion dollar listed corporations in the past decades.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Finance","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[3,0,0,5,2],"prerequisite":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree then ( ( ( ( must be undertaking 1 of 0200ACCHON/0200BBAHON Bachelor of Business Admin and must be Year 4 ) ) or ( ( must be undertaking 1 of 0200ACCHON/0200BBAHON Bachelor of Business Admin and must be Year 3 ) and the student has achieved a GPA of 3.2 or greater ) ) and must have completed 1 of any Courses beginning with FIN2704 at a grade of at least D and must have completed RE3807/any Courses beginning with FIN3701 at a grade of at least D and must be in one of the cohorts from 2017 inclusive )","preclusion":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree then ( must not have completed FIN4122 at a grade of at least D )","attributes":{"mpes1":true,"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":1,"covidZones":["B"]},{"semester":2,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"FIN4718","title":"FinTech Management","description":"An overview of major technological trends reshaping the financial industry, including but not limited to payment systems, asset management, financial intermediation, etc.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Finance","faculty":"NUS Business School","workload":[0,3,0,3,4],"prerequisite":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree\nthen\n(\n\t(\n\t\t(\n\t\t\t(\n\t\t\t\tmust be undertaking 1 of 0200ACCHON/0200BBAHON Bachelor of Business Admin\n\t\t\t\tand\n\t\t\t\tmust be Year 4\n\t\t\t)\n\t\t)\n\t\tor\n\t\t(\n\t\t\t(\n\t\t\t\tmust be undertaking 1 of 0200ACCHON/0200BBAHON Bachelor of Business Admin\n\t\t\t\tand\n\t\t\t\tmust be Year 3\n\t\t\t)\n\t\t\tand\n\t\t\tthe student has achieved a GPA of 3.2 or greater\n\t\t)\n\t)\n\tand\n\tmust have completed 1 of any Courses beginning with FIN3701 at a grade of at least D\n\tand\n\tmust have completed 1 of any Courses beginning with FIN3702 at a grade of at least D\n\tand\n\tmust have completed 1 of any Courses beginning with FIN3703 at a grade of at least D\n\tand\n\tmust be in one of the cohorts from 2017 inclusive\n)","preclusion":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed FIN4123 at a grade of at least D\n)","attributes":{"mpes1":true,"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":1,"covidZones":["B"]},{"semester":2,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"FIN4719","title":"FinTech and Financial Data Analytics","description":"Technologies are transforming and disrupting the financial services industry.

Placing conversation as the primordial site of human society, CA uses naturalistic conversational data as empirical evidence to discover how people negotiate, construct and perpetuate societal norms through everyday conversation, and how even routine interaction is meaningful and achieved collaboratively with others.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Japanese Studies","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,4,3],"preclusion":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree then ( must not have completed GET1045 at a grade of at least D )","attributes":{"su":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"GEX1026","title":"I Do Not Think Therefore I Am","description":"This course aims to call attention to the fundamental importance of thinking not only in learning per se but also in shaping who we are.

The goal of the seminar is to adopt a critical stance towards “work,” in order to better understand contemporary globalization as a cultural phenomenon.","moduleCredit":"5","department":"Political Science","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[0,3,0,5,4.5],"prerequisite":"If undertaking an Undergraduate Degree THEN must be in one of the cohorts prior to 2020 inclusive AND must be Year 4 OR ( the student must have achieved at least 80 units prior to enrolment AND must have completed 7 of any Courses beginning with GL at a grade of at least D AND the student must have achieved a GPA of 3.2 or greater)","preclusion":"If undertaking an Undergraduate Degree THEN must not have completed GL4880B at a grade of at least D","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"GL4880HM","title":"Topics in Business and Transnational Cultures","description":"This course will offer special topics in Business and Transnational Cultures.

Having data collections statically available for querying by interested parties on demand is increasingly becoming the way of the past. Instead, a new paradigm, called Data Streaming, has emerged recently. In this paradigm, data is bundled into high-throughput “streams'' that are sharded efficiently across a large number of network nodes. Consumers, sometimes counted in hundreds of thousands, or millions, “subscribe” to data subsets and are notified when new data becomes available, being under the obligation to process it immediately, or lose it. Consequently, data storage is no longer centralized, but rather distributed into many smaller-sized abstract collections. This new approach to “Big Data” requires a new set of tools, platforms, and solution patterns. In this course we propose to explore several facets of this new paradigm: • The Stream paradigm introduced in Java 8. • Platforms that implement Data Streaming, such as Kafka, and the Java bindings in the library KafkaConnect. • Computing paradigms for stream processing, such as Reactive Programming, and the library RxJava. • High-performance stream computing platforms, such as Flink.

The carriage of goods by sea forms an important component of a wider body of law which is called maritime (or shipping) law. The subject matter of this course also forms a part of the (private) law of international trade and will assist those students studying international sales of goods and bank payment mechanisms in international trade, and insurance\nand marine insurance. All these subjects are invaluable to anyone who aspires eventually to work in shipping or international trade, whether as a lawyer in a law firm, as a legal adviser in-house, in insurance in a P & I Club, or for a\nmarine insurer.\n\nCarriage of Goods by Sea is a core area of shipping law. The principal purpose which underlines this course is the carriage of cargo from one destination to another for profit. The seller/owner of goods who wishes to export them will\nhire a ship (particularly in the case of bulk commodities, such as oil) or space on a ship, depending on the quantity and type of goods to be transported. This course is therefore concerned with examining the legal relationships which arise between the shipper (or owner of the goods), the carrier (the shipowner), the charterer, and the receiver/consignee of the goods. The particular emphasis\nwill be the principal documents of carriage, such as bills of lading, sea waybills and ship’s delivery orders, and the domestic legislation which governs these documents and also gives effect to international conventions. The coverage of international conventions will include the Rotterdam Rules, even though these Rules are not yet in force.

From a legal point of view, an important aspect is the strong public policy undercurrents in the applicable law.\n\nThat is obvious in regulation but may also impact on private law. Another important issuer is that the law applicable to financial products and their regulation is ever more transnationalised and expressed at the international level, especially in terms of transactional and payment finality, financial stability, and even banking resolution facilities or international safety nets. In these circumstances, choice of national laws in the older private international law approach often mean little and it will be discussed how they may fall seriously short especially in in matters of regulatory oversight and bankruptcy situations.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"preclusion":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed 1 of \"LL4298V\"/LL4298 at a grade of at least D\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LL4299","title":"Advanced Issues in the Law & Practice of Int’l Arbitration","description":"This intensive course is designed for students and practitioners already acquainted with the fundamentals of international arbitration, and may be particularly useful for those who may have an inclination to specialize in the practice or study of international dispute resolution.

These questions will be explored by reference to the laws of multiple jurisdictions, most significantly Australia, the EU, Singapore and the USA.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"preclusion":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed 1 of \"LL4324V\"/LL4096/LL4096V/LL4324 at a grade of at least D\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LL4325","title":"The Int'l Litigation & Procedure of State Disputes","description":"Taught by two public international law practitioners, this course invites participants to develop a more practical and strategic understanding of how a State deals with the various types of disputes it may face.

Not only have judicial opinions about fair used cohered into a “unified field theory” of the doctrine, but awareness of its potential applications has increased dramatically among members of relevant communities.

The module aims to develop a distinctive understanding of the legal institution of money, seen as a subject in itself, from private law and public law perspectives. Although the course may be of interest to those with a background in financial or banking regulation, it deliberately avoids considering the subject of money from those perspectives. It is primarily concerned with the common law of money, as it would apply in Singapore. It does however draw on the comparative perspectives from mixed and civil law jurisdictions, and from legal history. Together these demonstrate the broad functional commonalities that any legal system must develop if is construct a legal notion of money and main purposes its serves in the economy.\n\nThe module explains the role of law in the creation of money and in the ordering of a monetary system.

It is primarily concerned with the common law of money, as it would apply in Singapore. It does however draw on the comparative perspectives from mixed and civil law jurisdictions, and from legal history. Together these demonstrate the broad functional commonalities that any legal system must develop if is construct a legal notion of money and main purposes its serves in the economy.\n\nThe module explains the role of law in the creation of money and in the ordering of a monetary system.

Though not exclusively, the focus will be on common law jurisdictions in the British tradition, but independent research will allow students to explore more widely for themselves.","moduleCredit":"5","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LL4436","title":"Family Law and Practice","description":"Family Law covers a very broad field that involves familial relationships wider than just spousal relationships, children and money matters.

The course will focus on selected global conventions administered by the IMO, including those governing safety of life at sea (SOLAS), the prevention of pollution from ships (MARPOL) and the training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers (STCW). It will also examine the liability and compensation schemes that have been developed for pollution damage caused by the carriage of oil and noxious substances by ships, as well as the conventions designed to ensure that States undertake contingency planning in order to combat spills of oil and other noxious and hazardous substances in their waters. In addition, the course will examine the schemes that have been developed to enhance the security of ships and ports in light of the threat of maritime terrorism. It will also examine the role of the IMO in the prevention of pollution of the marine environment from dumping waste at sea and from seabed activities subject to national jurisdiction. One of the themes of the course will be to consider how the IMO is responding to increased concern about the protection and preservation of the marine environment, including threats such as invasive species and climate change. Another theme will be to consider how the responsibility to enforce IMO Conventions is divided between flag States, coastal States, port States and the IMO. This course will be useful to persons who intend to practice shipping law or work in the private or public maritime sector.","moduleCredit":"5","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[3,0,0,0,10],"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":2,"examDate":"2024-05-07T05:00:00.000Z","examDuration":120,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"LL5035","title":"Taxation Issues in Cross-Border Transactions","description":"This is an introduction to the major income tax issues faced by businesses operating in a global economy.

The seminar will discuss key issues of law and legal approaches in Asia, such as sovereignty, as well as provide for presentations bt students on research subjects.","moduleCredit":"5","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[3,0,0,0,10],"prerequisite":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework THEN ( must have completed 1 of LC5050/LC5050V/LL4050/LL4050V/LL5050/LL5050V/LL6050/LL6050V at a grade of at least D)","preclusion":"If undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework THEN ( must not have completed 1 of LL5109/LL5109V/LL6109/LL6109V at a grade of at least D)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":2,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"LL5111V","title":"International Copyright Law and Policy","description":"","moduleCredit":"5","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[3,0,0,0,10],"preclusion":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed 1 of \"LL4111\"/\"LL4192V\"/\"LL4300V\"/\"LL5111\"/\"LL5192V\"/\"LL5300V\"/\"LL6111\"/\"LL6192V\"/\"LL6300V\"/LL4111V/LL4192/LL4300/LL5111V/LL5192/LL5300/LL6111V/LL6192/LL6300 at a grade of at least D\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LL5122","title":"The Contemporary Indian Legal System","description":"","moduleCredit":"4","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LL5122V","title":"The Contemporary Indian Legal System","description":"While serving as an introductory course to the Indian legal system, this discussion-based Seminar seeks to focus on topical, contemporary legal issues in India.

These questions will be explored by reference to the laws of multiple jurisdictions, most significantly Australia, the EU, Singapore and the USA.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"preclusion":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed 1 of \"LL4324V\"/\"LL5324V\"/\"LL6324V\"/LL4096/LL4096V/LL4324/LL5096/LL5096V/LL5324/LL6096/LL6096V/LL6324 at a grade of at least D\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LL5325","title":"The Int'l Litigation & Procedure of State Disputes","description":"Taught by two public international law practitioners, this course invites participants to develop a more practical and strategic understanding of how a State deals with the various types of disputes it may face.

Often, we negotiate by acting instinctively (and often randomly), or emulating others. And through this process of trial and error, we develop our own styles of negotiating. However, sometimes, these styles that we develop can lead to difficulties. First, the styles that we develop do not necessarily sit well with our personality or conflict resolution styles. Secondly, the styles we adopt are not necessarily guided by a coherent paradigm or strategic thinking and action. Finally, these styles are often adversarial and zero-sum, leading to unsustainable business and personal relationships. This workshop does not seek to replace the existing effective negotiation skills that students already have. However, it seeks to enhance the range of tools they have available to negotiate effectively. This workshop will focus on giving students a working knowledge of the Interests-Based Model of Negotiation created by Roger Fisher and as taught at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.

Although the course may be of interest to those with a background in financial or banking regulation, it deliberately avoids considering the subject of money from those perspectives. It is primarily concerned with the common law of money, as it would apply in Singapore. It does however draw on the comparative perspectives from mixed and civil law jurisdictions, and from legal history. Together these demonstrate the broad functional commonalities that any legal system must develop if is construct a legal notion of money and main purposes its serves in the economy.\n\nThe module explains the role of law in the creation of money and in the ordering of a monetary system.

The module aims to develop a distinctive understanding of the legal institution of money, seen as a subject in itself, from private law and public law perspectives.

It is primarily concerned with the common law of money, as it would apply in Singapore. It does however draw on the comparative perspectives from mixed and civil law jurisdictions, and from legal history. Together these demonstrate the broad functional commonalities that any legal system must develop if is construct a legal notion of money and main purposes its serves in the economy.\n\nThe module explains the role of law in the creation of money and in the ordering of a monetary system.

The course will draw on a wide range of case studies from around the world, with a particular emphasis on Asia.","moduleCredit":"5","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"preclusion":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed 1 of \"LL4046\"/\"LL4046V\"/\"LL5046\"/\"LL5046V\"/\"LL6046\"/\"LL6046V\"/\"LLD5046\"/\"LLD5046V\"/\"LLJ5046\"/\"LLJ5046V\"/\"LLJ5140\"/LL4140/LL4140V/LL5140/LL5140V/LL6140/LL6140V/LLD5140/LLD5140V/LLJ5140V at a grade of at least D\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":2,"covidZones":["Unknown"]}]},{"moduleCode":"LLJ5146","title":"Law & Society","description":"This course is primarily concerned with the age-old dichotomy between law in the law books and law in action. Through the examination of the origin, function and pattern of law in primitive and modern societies from a historical, anthropological and sociological perspective, we will try to understand better, the constraints under which ‘law’ in modern society operates, and the limits on the use of law as an instrument of social change. \n\nIn the first part of the course, the student will be introduced to basic ideas in classical anthropology and the sociology of law. Questions such as - Are there any ‘universal’ patterns of human behaviour? To what extent is a society’s perception of law influenced or controlled by environmental and econological factors? How are disputes resolved? Is aggression and warfare inherent in the human condition? - will be dealt with. In the second part of the course, these anthropological methods will be applied to a study of the concept of law in diverse societies from a sociological perspective, and to the actual function of law in \nsociety. Do patterns of human behaviour discernable in primitive societies hold true in more complex ‘modern’ societies? What are the attributes of a ‘modern’ legal system? Is the concept of ‘law’ in the western sense inevitable and universal in all kinds of societies. What happens to the concept of law in plural societies? \n\nTeaching will be by seminars which will include lectures and discussion of assigned readings. No previous knowledge of law anthropology or sociology is required or will be assumed of students.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"FoL Dean's Office","faculty":"Law","workload":[0,3,0,0,7],"preclusion":"if undertaking a Graduate Degree Coursework\nthen\n(\n\tmust not have completed 1 of \"LLJ5146V\"/LL4146/LL4146V/LL5146/LL5146V/LL6146/LL6146V/LLJ5146 at a grade of at least D\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"LLJ5148","title":"Secured Transactions Law","description":"This course provides a comparative study of the law of secured transactions across the common law world.

Throughout the course an attempt will be made to understand the way students think, the biases they hold when making decisions and interpreting environmental stimuli in the context of organisations, and the ways in which their emotions influence their decisions and judgments.

To do this, students will learn important engineering fundamentals such as fluid mechanics and chemical and heat transport. The overall goals are to assemble a conceptual toolkit to analyse physical and chemical technologies, and to also highlight how nature can inspire new man-made technologies.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"NUS College Dean's Office","faculty":"NUS College","workload":"0-0-4-0-2-4","attributes":{"su":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"NST2025","title":"Molecular Courtship","description":"How does an understanding of molecular interactions help us to make sense of everyday chemical phenomena to important chemical technologies?

People select which details to include and exclude in order to fashion narratives and interpretations. Often those interpretations have implications not only about the topic itself, the genocide, but about the people who are remembering, and their relations to the past and to other groups. This leads to the second question. Many have suggested that genocide, as we understand it, is a relatively recent phenomenon, and indeed, belongs to modernity.

Along the way, we’ll see how issues in the philosophy of probability bear on issues in the philosophy of science, metaphysics, and epistemology.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Philosophy","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[0,0,0,3,7],"prerequisite":"If undertaking an Undergraduate Degree THEN ( must have completed 1 of GEM2006/GEM2025/GET1028/PH2110/PH2201/PH2243/PH3211 at a grade of at least D)","attributes":{"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"PH3244","title":"Appearance and Reality","description":"Plato holds that the world of sensible objects is a mere shadow of an ideal realm that transcends experience.

Examples of topics that may be discussed are: the ethical problem of future generations, intrinsic values in nature, varieties of eco-feminism, and ecology in Neo-Confucian thought.","moduleCredit":"5","department":"Philosophy","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[0,0,0,3,9.5],"prerequisite":"If undertaking an Undergraduate Degree THEN ( the student must have achieved at least 80 units prior to enrolment AND must be in one of the cohorts prior to 2020 inclusive AND must have completed 7 of any Courses (Modules) beginning with PH1 at a grade of at least D, any Courses (Modules) beginning with PH2 at a grade of at least D, any Courses (Modules) beginning with PH3 at a grade of at least D, any Courses (Modules) beginning with PH4 at a grade of at least D, GET1029/GEX1015 at a grade of at least D AND ( the student must have achieved a GPA of 3.2 or greater OR must be Year 4))","preclusion":"If undertaking an Undergraduate Degree THEN must not have completed PH4216 at a grade of at least D","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"PH4217","title":"History of Philosophy","description":"This course aims to examine specific philosophical topics or issues (e.g. causation, the nature of mind, moral motivation) from a historical perspective.

The theoretical basis of social capital is that resources embedded in social relations affect the life chances of individuals and collectivities. It has also been argued that social capital has a significant impact on occupational mobility, civic engagement, social movement, and economic development. The course will explore (1) the theories of social capital, (2) the empirical work on social capital, (3) linkages between social capital and instrumental and expressive actions, (4) new directions for research extension of the theory of social capital.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Sociology and Anthropology","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,2,5],"attributes":{"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":2,"examDate":"2024-05-02T05:00:00.000Z","examDuration":120,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"SC3226","title":"Markets and Society","description":"This course offers a survey of economic life from a macro-sociological and historical viewpoint, with a focus on industrialization, the rise of market society, employment systems, property rights, and the role of the state in economic development.

How are race, gender, and class identities related to sensory perceptions? How do the senses shape power relations and knowledge production? In order to address these queries, the course interrogates how sensory experience lies beyond the realm of individual, physiological responses by analysing a range of sensory faculties through cross‐cultural comparative approaches. Students are introduced to key ideas in sensory scholarship and will be equipped with analytical tools to examine the senses in relation to selfhood and identity, urbanity, politics, religion, and heritage.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Sociology and Anthropology","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,4,3],"attributes":{"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":1,"examDate":"2023-12-04T05:00:00.000Z","examDuration":120,"covidZones":["B"]},{"semester":2,"examDate":"2024-05-02T01:00:00.000Z","examDuration":120,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"SC3229","title":"Comparing Deviance: Perverts & Scandalous Improprieties","description":"While norm violations occur everywhere, the responses to them vary.

Analyzing the range of underdog and elite forms of deviance in terms of disparities in their social constructions, criminal processing and dispensing of justice would enhance our understanding of structures of inequality and power.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Sociology and Anthropology","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,0,7],"attributes":{"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"SC3230","title":"Civil Society and Civic Engagement","description":"Civil society is impossible without voluntarily engaging citizens. And the culture of civic engagement in the form of volunteerism is hard to grow in a milieu that lacks a tradition of civil society. Because civic engagement and volunteerism are crucial indicators of a livable society, many countries, including Singapore, have been concerned about increasing volunteers and voluntary associations. The course pursues three main themes: (1) the relationship between civil society and civic engagement, (2) the precursors of volunteering (i.e., what makes people volunteer?), and (3) the outcomes of volunteerism (e.g., status attainment, physical and mental health, and well-being).","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Sociology and Anthropology","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,0,7],"attributes":{"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":2,"examDate":"2024-04-29T09:00:00.000Z","examDuration":120,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"SC3231","title":"Facing the Climate Crisis of the Anthropocene","description":"We live an era in which humans have altered the atmospheric, oceanic, geological conditions of the planet.

The overall aim is to generate amongst students sophisticated and nuanced sociological understandings of how gender is understood in contemporary society, and how it intersects and interacts with race, class, political ideologies and sexuality.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"Sociology and Anthropology","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[0,3,0,4,3],"attributes":{"mpes2":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"SC6215","title":"Religion in the Contemporary World","description":"This course investigates the importance of religion in the contemporary world, cross-culturally, relying on the most recent conceptual and methodological frameworks.

However, as recent studies show, the notions of love, marriage and sex intersect with political, and legal structures, on the one hand, and notions of gender, morality, and modernity on the other. Through this course, we critically analyse such regnant claims and examine how love and sex are shaped politically, culturally, legally and ideologically. Moreover, by studying the intersecting fields of ‘marriage, love, and sex,’ we unpack such dualities as ‘private/public,’ ‘individual/community, and ‘modern/ traditional’ in South Asia.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"South Asian Studies","faculty":"Arts and Social Science","workload":[2,1,0,2,5],"attributes":{"mpes2":true,"su":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[{"semester":1,"examDate":"2023-12-04T01:00:00.000Z","examDuration":120,"covidZones":["B"]}]},{"moduleCode":"SN2281","title":"Nations at Play: History of Sport in South Asia","description":"This course looks broadly at the evolution of sport and play, especially those that enjoy mass popularity in South Asia, and what it says about the region’s society, economy and politics.

The module will revisit many of these objections and reveal that they are based on reasoning that is incompatible with the principles of science. We will investigate, why it is \"Neo-Darwinism\" and not \"Intelligent Design\" that is currently the best supported paradigm for explaining \"adaptation.\" We will then challenge the power of the neo-Darwinian paradigm by asking how seemingly incompatible phenomena like altruism and excessive male ornamentation can possibly be explained by natural selection. We will also study several key events in evolution such as the origin of sex and its numerous consequences and the origin of the human species.

This course will introduce you to the recently developed field of biosemiotics the interdisciplinary study of sign processes as they occur variously across the biological spectrum. Looking at the close relation between living systems and their sign systems (hence the term: bio-semiotics), this still-emerging discipline seeks to traces the evolutionary development of sign-mediated ways of being in the world from its beginnings in the transmission of information across single cells to its most complicated realisation in the abstract forms of human thought.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":[2,2,0,0,6],"attributes":{"su":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"ULS2206","title":"The Doors of Perception: Biology, Technology & Culture","description":"When we open our eyes, we feel that we are seeing the world as it is in front of us.

To escape tautology, we need to understand pain independent of any stimulus; we need to understand pain subjectively. A subjective focus, however, causes \nproblems. The need for subjectivity might deny pain to the unborn and to animals, and seemingly leads to the conclusion that we can “think” ourselves into, and out of, pain. Consequently, many argue that pain should be understood objectively as the expression of biological changes (hormonal increases, brain activity) that are mobilised to defend the organism from injury.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":[0,4,0,1,5],"attributes":{"su":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"ULS2208","title":"Biodiversity and Natural History in Singapore","description":"Situated within a megadiverse biodiversity-hotspot, Singapore has drastically-reduced natural areas yet remains surprisingly species-rich.

It is often directed with negative effect towards figures and structures of authority, and is sometimes an integral part of a world-view. Students will engage closely with a variety of texts of\ndifferent types, including poems, tracts, short stories, speeches, plays, sketches, songs and pictures. In doing so, they will reach a better understanding of the roles irony can play not only in literature, but also in society more generally.

Specifically,\n- The philosophical strand will expose students to some of the early conceptions of space, time and matter. Principally ideas of Descartes and Leibniz with emphasis on Kant’s concept of space and time. The mathematization of science in the 17th Century - from Descartes use of coordinate geometry to Galileo’s Principle of Inertia and the mathematics of motion will serve to showcase how the early concepts took shape.\n- The mathematical strand will serve to showcase how Euclid’s axiomatic approach to geometry formed the basis of subsequent generalizations that led to the characterization of space and time. Here students will be introduced to structures such as topological spaces, manifolds and Riemannian spaces that form the basis of the space-time fabric.\n- The physical strand will touch on the notion of physical symmetries and its relation to geometry. In particular, Galilean and Special relativity will serve to elucidate how the motion of particles in the space-time fabric reveals its geometrical structure. This will culminate in Einstein’s Equivalence Principle and its implications leading up to the General theory of Relativity.\n\nThe aim here is to provide a coherent exposition of how the three disciplines come together in providing insights into the nature of space, time and matter. The questions raised will force students to examine and reflect on the extent to which our commonsensical views of the physical space accurately describes the way nature really is; and to what degree this view is tenable on the basis of detailed quantitative reasons and empirical evidence. Hopefully, through this analysis, students will appreciate the subtle interplay between the realm of ideas and mental constructs and that of experiments and scientific facts.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":[0,4,0,2,4],"attributes":{"su":true},"gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"UNL2205","title":"Waves in Nature","description":"Although diverse in scale and nature, the dynamics of tsunamis, the formation and breaking of chemical bonds, the development of stripes on a zebra, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the precession of binary pulsars are natural phenomena that can be described and understood in terms of waves.

At once celebrated and contested, Singapore’s multiculturalism is imbued with various themes and meanings, and poses many important issues and challenges central to personal, group and national cultural identities as well as to political, economic and social life. How did it come to be a core principle in nation-building? What are state imperatives and social processes and state imperatives in its historical making and constant remaking? Why are race, language and religion its core constitutive elements and how have their saliency evolved over time? What are its main controversial features and areas of tensions, and how do these affect identities, social relations between individuals, groups and communities, and impact social cohesion, citizenship and belonging? How is it further impacted by massive immigration? Is its present official form still valid in light of immigration, changing demographics and competing claims of rights and responsibilities?

How has the state attempted to convey Asia as a natural and unproblematic an entity? How is knowledge about it influenced and conditioned by changing social, political, and economic forces? Why did Singapore at its earliest historical phase seek to dissociate itself with the region, only to openly embrace it a few decades later? This module, therefore, introduces students to critical ways of challenging and contesting what is understood by the term Asia.

By enhancing awareness of domesticity’s “constructed nature,” this module deepens understanding of home sweet home.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":[0,4,0,3,3],"prerequisite":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree\nthen\n(\n\tmust have completed EP ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST at a grade of at least N\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"UWC2101V","title":"Writing & Critical Thinking: Language, Culture and 'Natives' People","description":"Depictions of ‘natives’, ‘primitives’ and ‘savages’ abound in the popular cultures of developed countries worldwide. In this module we will examine common stereotypes of native people and primitive cultures to uncover the underlying ideologies driving them, and analyze what cultural purpose such stereotypes serve in modern day life. We will seek to discern what palpable differences exist between primitive and modern people, and to confront the cultural and ethical conundrums entailed by those differences. Finally, we will explore how primitive people view modern society, and assess what the future may hold for native cultures in our fast globalizing world.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":"0-0-4-6","prerequisite":"if undertaking an Undergraduate Degree\nthen\n(\n\tmust have completed EP ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST at a grade of at least N\n)","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"UWC2101W","title":"Writing & Critical Thinking: Genocide and Memory","description":"The various twentieth-century genocides raise profound questions for individuals and societies. Why did they happen? How could they happen? Who did the killing and what motivated them? How should we remember? What do the events mean today? \n\nThe last two questions are particularly pertinent to us. The history and memory of genocide are seldom simple. People select which details to include and exclude in order to fashion narratives and interpretations. Often those interpretations have implications not only about the topic itself, the genocide, but about the people who are remembering, and their relations to the past and to other groups. This leads to the second question. Many have suggested that genocide, as we understand it, is a relatively recent phenomenon, and indeed, belongs to modernity. It is important to consider whether and in what ways this might be true.","moduleCredit":"4","department":"University Scholars Programme","faculty":"University Scholars Programme","workload":"0-4-0-6","gradingBasisDescription":"Graded","semesterData":[]},{"moduleCode":"UWC2101X","title":"Writing and Critical Thinking Module: The Idea of the University","description":"This module teaches writing and critical thinking through a critical exploration of the nature of the university as an institution.
