CORS got me!
After miserably failing to obtain modules in Round 2B of bidding since everything I wanted was past 600 points, I got my senior (a kind senior willing to help out poor ol’ me who forgot to declare his major), to help me choose and strategize my bidding techniques.
In the end this were my results.

Module Code : PS2102
Module Title: POLITICAL INQUIRY : AN INTRODUCTION
Reason : Out-bidded
I got HY2241 and PS2249 for 1 point each, International Security for 300 points and Political Ideology for 563 points. From the 1165 programme points I have, I leave about 300 points to bring over for the next semester or to use to obtain 1 more module. I also have not touched my General Account as of yet. Apparently for Contemporary Political Ideology, the minimum bid points in Round 1A is 600 points, so I saved 37 points! However, International Security most people got in for 1 point compared to my 300 points. Its a net loss, I tell you.
I wasn’t keen on taking HY2241 but brushing up on contemporary history is good and Alvin says its a good course. In the end I took up International Security too because, well, it just fits in to the plan. The Philosophy Modules are quite a loss actually, because the vacancies are in low supply, causing the the price of the module to go up. Simple economics really.
And friends tell me that they spent 5 points this semester. Bugger.
