Modules bidding, modules bidding...

Spent some time today reading through all sorts of documents relating to my university course as well as the bidding processes. At least after some reading and planning, some things no longer appear as confusing as they first seem to be. I've finally got to see what are the courses that i had to take and what are those that will/can be double counted, and thus save me the trouble of taking more modules. Then, there's still the "sequencing" of the modules to be done. Since some modules has got pre-requisites, I gotta much sure that i plan my modules in such a way that the process will be smooth.

And so, after some planning and drawing, here's some math and some thoughts. Assuming that i do not wish to declare/have any majors, i've have to clear 39CUs (39CUs does not mean 39 modules since some mods are only 0.5CU). Assuming that I will just spend my regular term clearing mods, that gives me 5 CUs per sem. Not to bad i guess. Assume I want to declare a major with track for any of the finance major, i'll end up having to clear 42CUs. That will very very likely mean that i will have to spend one summer term clearing some mods, which can be a dull thing to do, considering summer should be a time to do non-academic stuff. Nevertheless, things still seem interesting, certain modules SEEM interesting! But of course, whether it is interesting or whether one can do well in the module is 2 totally different issue.

Took a short peep into the pass BOSS results and find them somewhat abnormal. Prices for different classes for the same subject can differ slightly (which i can understand why). Price differences for a particular class can be very big (which does not make sense to me). Imagine having the highest bidder at 40 odd dollars and the lowest bidder at 10? And yet, 10 is the minimum bid that all bidders have to place. Next, the price gap between the first and second round of bidding can get very high too. Just imagine bidding 70 odd dollars for a module which does not seem so "special". And so, I thought it's never a good thing to be forced to bid in the subsequent rounds.

More planning with my mods and reading of past BOSS results to be done by (hopefully) tomorrow before i go for econs camp on monday.

I've said this on facebook, but i'm still gonna complain about it here again! I failed my AW exemption test and had to take AW in term 2!! I still cant get the disappointment off, but I know there's nothing I can do. I'm seriously worried that AW will affect my GPA and subsequently other issues as well. BUT! I am very determined to do well for AW!
