FS - CORS and bidding in NUS

Labels: Formspring Question, NUS

Question: Hi Luke, I will be matriculating in NUS FASS in AUG. I plan to take Psych. Any handsome tips for CORS and bidding? What was your bidding history like in Yr1Sem1? Thanks! =) Luke Boleh!

Answer: Hi future freshie and psych junior,

Firstly, congratulations on being selected to join NUS! It will be quite a fun and rewarding experience to be studying here.

For handsome tips for CORS and bidding, I believe that your seniors will have plenty of them when you attend any orientation. They will teach you about all the basic things that you need to know and also the strategies so you don't have to worry about that. My only advice is not to be too nervous when it comes to CORS and bidding. Just take it easy and everything will be fine. And if you have any problems, you can always approach any seniors to help you.

And besides, CORS bidding isn't as difficult as how you might think it is now. In a nutshell, all you have to do is to choose the modules you want and just bid for it like how you would in an auction house.

As for my first sem back in year 1, if I'm not mistaken, I took 4 exposure modules (it's a requirement for all FASS students to take 3 exposure modules from all the 3 departments plus the exposure module of the course you want to major in) which is History, Psych, New Media and South Asian Studies. I took an additional breath module (which I failed badly) to fulfill the 5 module requirement. All modules that I took were of level 1000.

I hope my long winded essay helped you a bit but if you still have questions, don't worry, you have the entire orientation period to clear all your doubts. And welcome to NUS!
