I have been given the privilege of co-teaching a history module in NUS!

YES, I was real excited when Dr Farrell (my thesis supervisor) asked me to co-tutor the Singapore Military History Module in NUS! This is especially so when the bulk of the module deals with my pet topic - World War II in Malaya and Singapore! Moreover, this module is field-trip based, which means that i will be conducting field trips mainly to World War II sites in Singapore, which I often did as part of my "Battlefield Tours" in BSS and voluntary guiding with the National Heritage Board. Its time for me to use my uniforms, relics, photos, videos, music and props again, just as I did in BSS! Oh, how exciting it would be! It would be a good experience in doing what I most wanted to do in future -lecturing history in university!

Dr Farrell had noticed that I have experience in teaching history. My experience in conducting fieldtrips and a keen passion for military history which is also going to be my specialisation topic probably also counted, I think. I am so thankful that I have been given the privilege of co-tutoring this module with Dr Farrell, himself, who is a very distinguished military historian. He is such a good history lecturer that many undergraduates sign up for his elective military history modules every time they are offered! This makes me very pressurised to do my best in teaching this module, for I certainly do not wish to betray his trust and confidence in me by letting him down! Thank you very much, Dr Farrell! Thank you Kit Geok too, for giving me some information about the profile of NUS undergraduates who certainly are different from the students I taught before in BSS. I will need to modify my previous teaching methods!
