BA/BSc Freshmen Orientation Camp 2010

Every year, the two most happening clubs in NIE (BA club and BSc club) come together to form the Orientation Planning Main Committee (also affectionately known as OPMC)

In conjunction with YOG 2010, the committee has come together to brainstorm for the most exciting Orientation Camp in NIE, just for you, BA and BSc freshmen.

11 July 2010

FOC 2010

Hey everyone! Your seniors are in schools doing their practicum/observations this week. Though I think, at this time, you're more interested in the upcoming FOC.

So, just a reminder, for those of you who missed the deadline to mail the form, you will still be able to submit the form personally to us on 21st July. Do remember to come on 21st July as you have programme briefing! Besides that, do make the necessary payment as well. Those who have submitted the forms to the address stated in the letter, kindly make payment on 21st July as well.

Answering some of your queries, no, there won't be any high elements. Since meeting point is at Vivocity, I would think you guys can probably guess where we'll be heading to next? Anyway, we're so sorry the camp can't be held at NIE this year to familiarise yourselves with the NIE campus. This is really because of YOG that the campus is out of bounds. However, going for FOC would mean that you would have made friends and won't feel so alien when you go to school.

Anyway, for those who keep on asking for the details of camp, you will actually receive a camp programme once you register for the camp. You may also want to direct your questions on 21st July to the lovely people manning the booth. With that, we sincerely hope to see you guys at camp!

#OPMC : 9:16 AM

tips for you!

Most tutorial rooms and lecture theatres are on ground level. They are located along the smaller corridors from the major corridor. Only big tutorial rooms are located along the major corridor. So beware...

Special rooms (eg: laboratories and teaching facilities) are located either on basement and 2nd levels.

Reading NIE venues:

Most importantly, do not mix up the NIE LTs with NTU LTs!

Announcements are being delivered in 5 ways:

Snail mail (Very important, usually concerns money)

Email (Equally important)

Teachers' Portal Dashboard * (once you're logged in)

Teachers' Portal Announcements (before you log in)

GeNIEus Announcements ** (lecturers use this to submit updates on lecture notes; some nice lecturers will email you the announcements, but NOT all... So remember to check regularly)

* Announcements under Dashboard are different from the Announcements before you log in.
** GeNIEus is a Blackboard online portal that distributes most of your lecture notes and tutorials, and for some modules, you may be required to submit your essays in soft copies or you may be required to do discussion for course assessment.
