It's the unhappiness with module bidding again =(

And here I go again. These views are by no means representative of the views of all engin faculty students. They are at best a sign of how mean and cynical this friendly neighbourhood blogger can be.

[10J] Who would've thought that love can be so caffeinated? says:
sian ady

[10J] says:
suddenly this sem so hard to bid for modules

[10J] says:
zzz

Nick says:
why?

Nick says:
cannot get meh?

[10J] says:
i think prospects not very good ler

[10J] says:
i'm trying to go for ss this sem

Nick says:
oh, should be ok what

[10J] says:
but the spaces are so limited

[10J] says:
arts ad biz students just throw in their g points like nothing

[10J] says:
how to fight

[10J] says:
><

Nick says:
aiyah, which one are you taking?

[10J] says:
i wanted tbe global dimensions sthg sthg one

[10J] says:
but bid points too high ady

Nick says:
oh, interesting

[10J] says:
then i turned my sights to employee management..

Nick says:
never heard of that one before

[10J] says:
also very higg

[10J] says:
high

Nick says:
how many points?

[10J] says:
then i checked singapore studies.. also very high

[10J] says:
employee management is at 250+ now ler

[10J] says:
singapore studies also nearing 150+ ady

Nick says:
hm, ok what

Nick says:
we got nearly 800

[10J] says:
but still not worth it ma

[10J] says:
our g points very precious ler

[10J] says:
even chin seong agrees that the budget for this sem should be around 150 g points only

[10J] says:
=P

Nick says:
whoa

Nick says:
got budget some more

[10J] says:
if this round ady to hard to bid, imagine what we'd do with our GEMs in the future

Nick says:
yeah, I plan to keep mine too

[10J] says:
so silly one

Nick says:
so how?

[10J] says:
i dun get it why we need so many p points

[10J] says:
since we are only bidding against engin students

[10J] says:
for what purpose that they give so many p points? it only serves to deflate the value of p points

Nick says:
maybe for the technical electives

Nick says:
right now p points worthless

[10J] says:
what's the difference if we just give every engin student less p points?

[10J] says:
let's say.. 100 p points per sem

[10J] says:
then the rest all go into g account

[10J] says:
the technical electives would still be fiecely contested over ma

[10J] says:
albeit with lower gross value of the bids placed, the real value of the modules would still be retained

Nick says:
yeah, hyperinflation

Nick says:
go complain liaoz

Nick says:
haha!

[10J] says:
that's why, i always feel that we are shortchanged la

[10J] says:
dunno why the engin dept ppl so stupid wans

[10J] says:
it's prolly all a conspiracy

Nick says:
maybe

[10J] says:
cuz they know that statistics have shown that engin students can potentially provide very stiff competition other fac students for in their lv1000 modules

[10J] says:
that's why they must control the amount of cross-facs that we can take, control the influx of cross fac students.

[10J] says:
..it kinda reminds me of the pro-bumi policies that we have back home. You don't want to have it, and yet.. we HAVE to have it,

Nick says:
cos nobody wanna take engine level one modules

[10J] says:
so that the other facs can still safely maintain their share of 1st class and 2nd class graduates, which bring stature to each fac and the university as a whole.. and we all know that university reputation is everything in a degree, resume and job-seeking-wise

Nick says:
really or not

Nick says:
engine students so geng meh

[10J] says:
u go ask around the business fac and see

[10J] says:
usually for the lower level modules, engin students tend to score wan

[10J] says:
even my mno lecturer admits that

Nick says:
hm, interesting

Nick says:
FNA?

[10J] says:
they are smarter with fna

[10J] says:
they introduce a seperate module, FNA1002X to seperate the business students from the other fac students

[10J] says:
protectionism

[10J] says:
grade protectionism

[10J] says:
xD

Nick says:
haha!

Nick says:
yeah true

Nick says:
so very little modules we can take what

Nick says:
from biz fac

[10J] says:
got quite alot

[10J] says:
because of the british association of engineers standard

Nick says:
hm?

Nick says:
SARTOR stuff?

[10J] says:
yeah

Nick says:
a lot meh?

Nick says:
MNO only what

Nick says:
FNA not counted

Nick says:
sociology and the econs modules are arts

[10J] says:
