Lesson 4 - Pitching session by the industry players

This is one of the more exciting lesson I attended so far in NUS. Style of teaching seems to be similar to a module I took in Stanford, Global Entrepreneur Marketing. The lecturer invited people from the industries to pitch about their company and the project that they are working on, and hopefully can attract some smart people to help them in their marketing efforts.
I'm so glad I took this module since I thought there will not be similar lessons offered by NUS and here I am seated in LT 19 listening to the wonderful pitch session by the veterans.

Credits to Prof. Ben, since this isn't possible if he is not charismatic and influential enough to attract these people to talk to us. Ha enough of all this ankat. . .

I'm just wondering if the 2 months are enough working on such intensive project and how do we get graded since everyone's progress and standards for the different projects are different. If it was a self proposed project, can we set our own milestones too as we can't be evaluating ourselves?

    If you somehow convince me and the evaluators who will be coming to evaluate your project that you "made a difference", then you get an A. If not, then you get something less? :-)

    You hit the nail on the head when you say that it'll be hard to grade. But truthfully, one of the key competencies in life is the ability to deal with uncertainties and ambiguity. Not to worry lah, CS3216 is a lot less random nowadays. Essentially, you will be compared to the students of the past two years.
