The holidays are almost over! I've just checked the Exam Results site for my New Year present from NUS. Well, I can say it has been a bad start.
As usual I plough through the summary of degree requirements, Timetable Builder and Module Information (computing modules mirror).
So now, back to meeting Mr. CORS. Been a long time since I saw you ol' buddy. The last time I saw you was during tutorial registration. And I see you have been up to some extra irritating things again.
- The Dreaded Login Screen
- Having to confirm my address *everytime* I login
-
Not Allowing Me to view any Module Information (Irritation of the Year Award ?????)
From http://www.cors.nus.edu.sg/CorsSchedule/moduleInfo.html, I click on Faculty Modules, and get presented with the above screen. Is this really needed during the bidding period? And it has been happening for 2 days.
Luckily, there's the SOC Course List for SOC modules. Clicking the course code shows the pre-requisites and other info.
For SS and UE's outside faculty, I have to LL and ask around.
I meet the login screen again. Doesn't support IE's AutoComplete. Doesn't support "Remember Me". Did I mention that this screen forced me to open it in a new window?
Seriously, I've checked the address 1,384,493,943 times and it is correct. I will inform the Admin Registar if Osama decides to kidnap me. You have my word, Mr. CORS.
Happy Bidding, fellow colleagues. Just don't compete with me :-)

LOL best.blog.ever. Blogger with a great sense of humour! It's 2008 and we still have to check our address everytime we log onto CORS. Freakin' annoying! Why was it even implemented in the first place!?
And there is this timetable builder timeout issue. After like 5-10 minutes I will be staring at some ASP error and I have to REDO the whole planning again - add modules, select individual timings. WTF!? And yeah we still can't add/change modules midway. And SoC teaches HCI...riiiight.
And not forgetting the whole NUS website has TONS of broken links. SoC alone has so many I lost count, CORS as well. It's like no one maintains the site. World class university? They wish. Not to be mean but I hope the rankings drop further every year so they will WAKE UP THEIR BLOODY IDEA.
