Regarding the zoom,
>If you are a student Teaching Assistant or need a Zoom licensed account to conduct certain events, let us know the module code / module coordinator and special event here.
Special event might apply to CCA, you can try, I'm not sure. Or if anyone in your CCA is a TA, you can make use of it.
Also, what you described can probably be applied to almost every university during the covid times... covid just sucks
Not a current student but an alumnus, and I'll offer Obsidian as a note-taking + journaling alternative for tools like Notion or Roam
Been using Obsidian lately for noting down useful reference material + thoughts, but also redoing past uni notes
Those 10 or 15 problems shouldn't be something to put on your resume. Please don't put them, it'll give a very bad impression. 15 problems is not impressive at all.
For templates, I like the latex templates on overleaf. https://www.overleaf.com/
You can firstly put your education and results. If you have taken part in any competitions, or have any pet projects, include them too. Math or physics Olympiad competitions works too, doesn't have to be CS competition.
From now on, look out for online competitions, like Google's kickstart, codejam, Facebook hackercup. These will help boost your resume.
Honestly there a many companies that are hiring right now paying 6-8k, it's just whether they've prepared enough for the interviews to land them. Some examples are companies such as TikTok (6.5 to 10+), ExpressVPN (~7), Grab (~8-10) ShopBack (~7), OKX (10+), trading firms (15++), Wise (~7), GovTech (~6).
The problem I see is that some of my friends feel entitled to the job just because they're from NUS CS, but they fail to realize that they need to work for it but end up complaining about LeetCode interviews when they didn't put in the work to get good at LeetCode.
Hello I would like to recommend

Hello, co-founder of https://colonist.io here.
Everyone has mentioned good platforms. I'll suggest a different idea. Ask directly to the company.
Most of the people we hire come from our players. They send an email asking if there is any way they can contribute. And we tend to hire full time those people who perform well.
We get anywhere between 16 year olds to 55 year olds wanting to contribute, intern, work.
So my advice is, make a list of all the apps, games you like then send them emails. The bigger the company the more process they will have. The smaller the company the more likely you'll get a reply from the founder. So focus on niche products. It is always better to work on something you use and the company will be more likely to hire you as well.
Best of luck.
There's quite a bit of literature that has been written about effective spaced repetition techniques. You will need to find and adapt those techniques to the module that you're studying. I use a software called anki to create question flashcards for each topic, which then space out revision cycles for each question. Of course, this might be more applicable to content that you can memorize - skills associated with the topics need to be mastered through practice. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about using the software or adapting module content.
Also I don't think it's a matter of what expectations you have- in fact thinking about whether to have lower or higher expectations about the results that you get, IMO, is fundamentally the wrong route to take, since it means that you are essentially still focused on examination results as the main purpose of the module.
It's more, I think, a matter of redefining your goals when it comes to your modules; specifically, it's about changing your mindset from "I need to study so I don't fail", to "I want to study because I want to master this subject" - at which point, the only point of a test is to serve as a means to assess your own learning and to highlight areas for improvement. Seen in this light, a 'bad' grade or even a failing one, isn't something that should be considered negative in the slightest - they are just indications for where you're at and what you still have to learn.
On a sidenote: I would actually strongly advise against taking low workload modules so you can finish your driving. Honestly, it's going to be quite taxing, and I think you might have more time during the Summer holidays to pursue this. Concentrate on self-care first.
Use this to get a green pass? https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmWatkBfTiK3DCozqbqfHjXca2ayebkW6ULUcjWuQoHLZi/ xD saw it on a comment on NUS whispers
Yup its feasible, i prefer printing out the notes to annotate! Oh and protip, some modules encourage you to purchase textbooks (but its super pricey). You can buy used ones from carousell, get pdf versions from your seniors, or download it for free from https://libgen.is
There's also this site where you can use your u.nus.edu account to create forms restricted to nus students if you're interested. Then in the form settings there are options to one response/responses to people in organisation.
Downside is it would require login but the settings can be changed to not recording name I think.
