Library tutorial for fst1101 Magdeline Ng & Loh Mee Lan
Why attend this session? Feedback From FST Honours Year Students Who Attended Library Tutorial in August 2016 Have the sessions earlier, perhaps in year 1 to aid in report writing have this library session at the start of our undergraduate studies (in Year 1) as it will be very useful throughout the 3-4 years and not only during thesis writing Conduct this session for the year 1 students everyone should go through this program in year 1 or 2 instead of year 4 offer this session to year 1 students so that nus students can learn to cite properly for all their reports
