OSA watched this video, thats why there's 1 dislike.

Hahaa "sh*t ha~ppens~" Hilarious~!

Then again I still think a bidding system is better than a first come first served basis~ rather than wait with high stress just to get your popular module with the risk of losing out to a faster clicker. Makes you calculate your options to bid most optimally~ Rather than the system, its some people who just scr*w you over!

WTF?

Ok, this was FUNNY. people need to chill. this is not a god damn class debate. And please do the separate video for APPEALS.

Stop bashing OSA, kiddo... You will be surprised how many students are just averse to such stuff...

@tibetmonk2002 because it's straightforward and this is more complex? (READ: confusing.)

Once, in my early days of freshman-hood, I thought a system which relied on how much one wanted a class as expressed by bid points paid was far superior to one which alloted classes based on a higher click-per-minute or internet speed.

Then I realized that no matter what system is used, a large percentage of people are always going to be frustrated, denied of classes they want and left feeling screwed over.

Our way just does it 'smarter'. Coz this is tertiary education bitch.

I love the life lessons interpreted - on a side note, how can a bidding system be more fun than the game of "Fastest Fingers First"? :)

i like it that she says that we pay school money to teach us but then the sch makes you pay the university in fictional currency to bid for modules we would have actually paid them to teach

[weebo8]

close bidding discourages mass log-in at last minute to up your bid, and so prevents the system from crashing.i do think that cors is a sensible procedure. the problem seems to be that the popular modules do not have enough spaces-possibly due to lack of venues (with sufficient capacity) or enough teaching staff to meet the demand, plus of course the inefficient appeal procedures (and things like credit transfer from SEP). like deming86, i would pick CORS over fastest-fingers first.
