学生の生活に戻りたいか

Posted 2007-01-13 (土) 午後5:05 by terra

最近、この話題はよく浮かんでくる。学生の生活は貧乏だし、3年も働いてきた私に対してはとても難しい質問です。お金がないと、気楽に暮らすことはとてもできない。でも、いい学歴がなければ、もっと相応しく、いい仕事も見つけられない。何かを得るために、交換物が必要ということでしょうか。（ハガレンのファンの皆さんはこういう句をよく知ってるはずです）

"More Ethics, Less Aesthetics" of Bio-Art. Discuss with Examples.

Posted 2004-02-09 (月) 午後6:10 by terra

The following essay was written for a module in my university called ‘New Media Art’ for the Jan-May semester in which I scored an A+ ^_^ A word of caution: While I’ve tried to be as accurate as I can while stating facts, I cannot guarantee that I’m 100% correct. If you’re doing a module similar to this: do not copy, do not cheat.

Real vs Virtual Museums

Posted 2004-02-09 (月) 午後6:08 by terra

Compare and contrast, with the help of the relevant sources, your experience as viewer in a real museum setting such as NUS’s, and a virtual setting exemplified by a museum’s website of your choice: What are the pros and cons of each setting? What are the differences in the way exhibits are presented? Which of the two settings (the physical or the virtual) is more successful in educating the viewer?

Preservation of power and authority amongst the upper orders of administration in Tokugawa Japan

Posted 2004-02-09 (月) 午後6:06 by terra

This is an average grade (B+) mid-term essay that I did for a modern Japanese history module. I decided to put in here because the Tokugawa-Edo era of Japan has fascinated me for a while, and I just wanted to remind myself of the first month of my study of Japanese history.

The Evolution & Fate of the Universe

Posted 2004-02-09 (月) 午後6:04 by terra

The ultimate fate of the universe holds a perpetual fascination with mankind. Ever since Hubble discovered in 1929 that the universe is expanding, people have wondered whether the universe would continue expanding forever, or whether its expansion would one day come to a halt and be reversed, leading eventually to a “big crunch”. In this essay, you should trace through the pioneering work of Hubble, Einstein and others, and review modern cosmological theories as well as current evidence for the fate of the universe.
