How CORS Loves to Irritate Me

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.

  1. The Dreaded Login Screen

  2. The Dreaded Login Screen

    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?

  3. Having to confirm my address *everytime* I login

  4. The Dreaded 2nd Login Screen

    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.

  5. Not Allowing Me to view any Module Information (Irritation of the Year Award ?????)

    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.

Happy Bidding, fellow colleagues. Just don't compete with me :-)
