Hello everyone! It is the time for module bidding again! With this post, we hope to let you learn more about the features on NUSMods that can help you during CORS bidding.

Module Finder page

Simply click on Modules in the navigation menu on the left to access the Module Finder page. Under this page, all modules in CORS will be shown. To narrow down the list of modules to those that you are interested in, you can make use of the “Search Options” section and applying search filters (e.g. Semesters, Types, Faculty/Department, etc.).

Click on "Modules"

For instance, to obtain a list of GEM modules offered in Semester 2, check the checkboxes for Semester 2 under Semesters and GEM under Types. A filtered list of GEM modules offered in Semester 2 will then be presented on the right of the page. This makes module discovery really easy and convenient!

CORS Bidding History section

Select the appropriate options under Your Faculty, Account Type and New Student to obtain the filtered bidding history for past semesters. Some points to note about which options to select:
