SoC Plans For AY2020/2021, Semester 2
Zoning within campus will end on December 6. Furthermore, Singapore is likely to move into phase 3 sometime soon.
There will still be limits on how many students can be in one room, and the usage of masks and safe distancing is still required.
With this, we hope to have as many face-to-face classes as possible, if space permits. This would be mostly for smaller classes.
We will have online options for large classes, but smaller classes may no longer have online options. This would also apply to small group tutorials and labs. More details on this would be given as the start of the semester nears.
Thus, we hope that all international students will make plans to come back to campus for Semester 2 in AY 2020/21. Otherwise, they may not be able to take all their planned classes as some of these classes may not have online options at all.
Please look out for more email updates and stay tuned to this web page for any further information.

Update: 17 July 2020
Some students have been asking and are worried about whether e-learning options will be available throughout the semester.
Considering that the COVID-19 situation has not been improving in many parts of the world, we have decided to make e-learning options available throughout the semester for all NUS Computing modules. This includes lectures, tutorials, labs and exams.
However, if you are able to come to campus, we strongly encourage you to come to campus as face to face learning and interaction are a critical component of university learning.

Students should come to campus only on days when they have F2F classes. - All classes with more than 50 students will be conducted online. This includes lectures, tutorials, labs and recitations etc.
- Classes with 50 or fewer students may be conducted F2F, via e-learning, or hybrid (i.e. mix of F2F and online).
- Safe distancing of 2m between students must be maintained in classes. All rooms are marked to indicate where students can sit given current safe distancing requirements.
- More information on which lectures/tutorials/etc that may be conducted F2F will be provided.

 | E-learning options for students who are unable to come to campus Students who are not able to attend F2F classes due to being in different zones, having to serve Stay Home Notices (SHN), or international students who are not able to come due to reasons beyond their control (such as travel restrictions imposed by governments), will have e-learning options for the modules having F2F classes. This may be in the form of lecture recordings (asynchronous) or Zoom lectures (synchronous) along with reading materials etc. Lecturers will try to provide extra consultation sessions (over Zoom or similar platforms) for students. For those serving SHN, please visit https://www.homer.gov.sg/instructions for instructions to download the Homer - QO SHN on Apple App Store, or Homer on Google Play Store. |
 | Exams Many of our modules will have 100% CA (continual assessment). For modules that have final examinations, the current plans are to conduct e-examinations. Note that if the situation improves during the course of the semester, this may change.
