How's your dad's heel? -
same situation i was in. and chances are pple will showhand when closed bidding starts and the min may go up to 1k or more.Originally posted by fudgester:It gets better.
At this rate, next semester I'll have 5000++ Programme Account points to bid for ONE module which I can get for ONE point.
And right now I cannot get the module that I want (Forensic Science) because some Science and Arts dorks with huge amounts of General Account points are completely spoiling the market. At last count, the highest bid was 2000++ points, and the second-lowest bid was 600 points.
And I have just 595 points. Since there are over 500 bidders for 400 places, I've effectively been knocked out.
so ended up i had to take some lousy and hard module to kill my grades

will you bid 5000 points for that 1 module?Originally posted by fudgester:It gets better.

but i don't understand why the engineering department chooses a diff apporach.
shouldn't it be standardize for everyone thruout nus.

Can't just blame them for being slower mah...i mean, just how kiasu you want people to become? Like queue overnight for $2 hello kitty stuffed toys?Originally posted by stellazio:yeah, that way also abit unfair.
but not many people complain la.
cuz they know they were just slower. It should not be like that. -
but at least all got slots just the positioning.Originally posted by Wanda:Last time Arts Fac was like this too...not ideal also.
last time nus was balloting, not exactly fair, but then at least you dun have this nonsense of admin screwiing pple and its just down to luck -
So long?Originally posted by honeymouse:Hi pinkybear.... *hug*
For those who know about my rash problem..... it has improved slightly with the new antibiotics I took. All the blister-like rash is starting to dry and has stopped weeping. Unfortunately the itch is still there and I still can't get the sleep at night. 
Anyway, at least there's an improvement.... I shouldn't complain. Just hope the itch will go soon!
What were the test results anyway @@
How come so terrible!
Glad there is an improvement though *hugs* -
Theoretically, they gave us more Prog points to allow us to fight better for the core modules.Originally posted by Wanda:Ahh...i see...thank you for the explanation, Hisoka and Fudge...i understand.
So those with more General points have a wider choice so to speak...and engine stu with only 250 have fewer choices. Do every core require the same amount of points to bid? Same for electives?
For Prog core...I assume there will be enough of such classes for every engine student, right, since some modules are progressive...as in having to take 101 before one can take 201 at the next level.
However, as you pointed out, most of our core modules must be taken in order. Some low-level modules must be cleared first as pre-requisites for the higher-level modules. As a result, the Engin department was kind enough to set aside more than enough places for everyone to ensure that everyone can get the core mods that they wanted.... which totally rendered the bidding process moot.
As for electives, some electives are admittedly more popular than others... but even then, most of the time, the number of places exceed the number of bidders, requiring just one bid point in the process.
And right now, I have one more Unrestricted Elective Module to clear, and I can't even bid for a freakin' cross-faculty Science module. -
Hey honeymouse, glad your itch is getting better...all the best.Originally posted by honeymouse:Thanks Keii. How's your dad's heel? -
i think its online so abit of luck tooOriginally posted by Wanda:Can't just blame them for being slower mah...i mean, just how kiasu you want people to become? Like queue overnight for $2 hello kitty stuffed toys? It should not be like that. -
It feels like it's getting better, that's what he says. He's going back to hospital on Friday. Getting his cast replaced.Originally posted by honeymouse:Thanks Keii. How's your dad's heel? -
no la, they normally give u a specific timeslot.Originally posted by Wanda:Can't just blame them for being slower mah...i mean, just how kiasu you want people to become? Like queue overnight for $2 hello kitty stuffed toys? It should not be like that.
ranging from 8.30 till 10pm at night.if u cannot make it then ask ur buddy help u lohz.
generally people mostly get the modules theyw ant la, its just the timing of the lessons. -
That one I dun know...i don't think they will have slots for every students for every elective, coz in the first place, they wun know the demand, and there is also minimum/optimal class size to consider.Originally posted by hisoka:but at least all got slots just the positioning.
last time nus was balloting, not exactly fair, but then at least you dun have this nonsense of admin screwiing pple and its just down to luck -
yeah its online. can't expect us to go to sch to bid man.Originally posted by hisoka:i think its online so abit of luck too -
You know, I think that I'll do just that out of sheer contempt for the system.Originally posted by stellazio:will you bid 5000 points for that 1 module? -
Why don't you bid for a cheapo Arts module, Appreciation of Poetry or something *giggle*Originally posted by fudgester:And right now, I have one more Unrestricted Elective Module to clear, and I can't even bid for a freakin' cross-faculty Science module.

If it's indeed the infection from the tick, antibiotics will be the only treatment. I believe the new antibiotics he gave has already started to work. Just need longer course.Originally posted by the Bear:hope he finds out that it's just something antibiotics can clear up..
i hate itch.. sometimes, i think it's worse than pain..
I totally agree with you about itch being worse than pain. I think for the past weeks, I have broken down many times in tears when the itch simply got too much and I couldn't sleep.

Previously bef internet era, the arts student had to go to school and to each dept to sign up...i believe. Now so hoh miah, you all.Originally posted by stellazio:yeah its online. can't expect us to go to sch to bid man. -
I was thinking of going for Forensic Science... or Introduction to Cybercrime.Originally posted by choco B:Why don't you bid for a cheapo Arts module, Appreciation of Poetry or something *giggle*
Simply put, I want to take them out of personal interest.
However, I don't have enough points to secure either module. -
Glad to know your dad's heel is getting better.Originally posted by Keii:It feels like it's getting better, that's what he says. He's going back to hospital on Friday. Getting his cast replaced. He will need to continue to take his foot off the ground for a bit before it completely recovers. I think the cast should help.
Thanks Wanda!!Originally posted by Wanda:Hey honeymouse, glad your itch is getting better...all the best. -
Thank god for technological advancements!Originally posted by Wanda:Previously bef internet era, the arts student had to go to school and to each dept to sign up...i believe. Now so hoh miah, you all. -
