Rant Rant Rant Rant Rant.
Pissed and fed up with Cors, our online bidding system. Today the whole school, an entire cohort, is in front of the monitors trying to login. Everywhere I go I see people in front of the monitor with a huge orange header(nus cors website) trying to access the system. From Nine am, people have been trying to access the system but to no avail. Computers lab filled with desperate people trying to login, people waiting outside the computer labs trying to find a terminal to use. Cors became the common enemy. Have you balloted? became the first question anyone asks when they see a friend. My friend suspects that they increased the cohort intake (1986 year of the tiger), but didn't make sure the server can take the load, resulting in the failure of the system.
I'm just waiting for the news to report on this incident. What a joke.

Dear sufferers of the CORS system,
Take heart!
The petition.
http://www.petitiononline.com/nus/petition.html
Somehow this is turning into a finger pointing session. People are accusing NUSSU of not doing anything to protect the welfare of the students. I suppose this is one of the ways the student voice their outrage. If it makes them feel better to "do something" like start an online petition, do it. The administrative side would seriously need to revamp the system.
"NUSSU is responsible for fighting for the rights of the students. But they are keeping mum over this CORS saga, preferring to lay back and enjoy their cushy positions and CCA points.They can't even be bothered to start an official student petition."
Funny remarks:
They should make students pay $2 each time they log into CORS, ala the ERP method. PAY AND PAY!!!
Is the CORS office furnished with golden taps, with a vault full of peanuts?
Extension of Round 1A is the solution? The "Magic Wand?" Just like raising ERP prices? Traffic jam, raise ERP prices? Network congestion, extend balloting deadline?
Will NUS be just as inefficient when they are collecting tution fees from us?
If this is the 18th best standard in the world, I shudder to think how long the bidding of modules at lower ranked university will take.
It is futile to extend the timing when it takes 3 years to get into the CORS proper.
Confirmed Outdated Registration System = CORS
