Deadline for your internship confirmation must reach me by 21 Nov (Fri). The earlier you may let me know the better it will be.

Once Phase 1 is over, school will allocate internship company & interviews. We will be unable to accept companies found on your own.

Tourism Internship PHASE 1 procedures:

1. List down prospective companies that you are keen to seek interviews in.

2. Seek approval from your internship coordinator, he/ she will advise if those companies are appropriate or not.

Hey 05, it's the last week of holidays.

Time seems to fly when we are all enjoying ourselves. However, we still need to get ourselves back into the study mood.

The following are some emails sent by our lecturers to remind us to purchase lecture and tutorial notes. I believe all of you have already received the emails. I will still post them here for those who don't check their ICHAT email.

Please purchase a copy of your BA0176 GBE lecture and tutorial notes from the Third Floor Photocopy centre before going for your lecture or tutorial classes in Week 1. Cost is about $10.80 per copy.

Message from Ms Wenda Leong.

Dear ALL Year 2's,

Welcome to the World of Casino Management !

In the various sections, you will find lecture notes and tutorials which you will need to print and bring to Lectures and Tutorials. The material is in addition to readings from the textbook which will give you a better understanding of the module.

You will have to do your readings and your tutorial assignments prior to classes otherwise you may not be able to keep up with the chapters.

At all times, should you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Ms. Kwok Wai Leng ( Tutor) or myself (Module Coordinator) for assistance.

We trust you will have an enjoyable and fruitful semester.

Best regards

RONALD SATHIANATHAN

Please get your copy of BA0201 UCCD notes from the third floor Photocopy Centre before going for your lecture or tutorial class in Week 1. Cost is about $10.00 per copy.

Message from Ms Wenda Leong

I will be ordering all the notes together as a class as soon as school starts.

I would like to seek all of your help to pay class fund when school reopens so that we can use the funds to buy the notes. I will be checking with Iris the amount of class fund we have left and decide how much we need to pay.

Special attention to Wee Ling, Stella, Joann and Elaine to pay $3 to class fund as the rest have already paid $3 to class fund during the class outing.

I hope everyone will enjoy the last of their holidays.

June
