"The Common Curriculum is the unique Yale-NUS approach to general education. This foundational sequence of 10 interdisciplinary courses introduces students to multiple modes of thought from global perspectives. Transformative works of literature, philosophy, history, and social thought, and focused training in writing, quantitative reasoning, and scientific inquiry prepare students to question, analyse, and critique with precision. Through the Common Curriculum, students develop new intellectual capacities and passions, while learning more about themselves and the world they inhabit. This shared intellectual background is the basis of our academic community." (From the Yale-NUS Website)
From 2016-2018, I was Student Associate to the Yale-NUS Common Curriculum Director. During that time, I handled Common Curriculum scheduling and created the This Week in the Common Curriculum series. For This Week in the Common Curriculum, I designed semesterly posters which listed every common core lecture that would be taught that semester. This provided common core students with a bird's eye view of their semester and informed the general Yale-NUS community of lectures which they might be interested in attending.
