CORS False Alarm
There’s another reason for students to hate CORS. Right now CORS is in the 2nd Iteration (for non-language modules), Round 1A of tutorial balloting that lasts from Saturday 9.00pm to Tuesday 3.00pm.
However, today (Sunday 15th January 2006) at about 6.00am in the morning, a system generated email was sent to all the students who had balloted for tutorials the previous night. It told students (at least the FASS ones) that none of their ballots were allocated at all. That’s odd, because results only officially come out on Tuesday night. Personally, I wasn’t affected because I hadn’t submitted my ballots yet, and it seems that people that haven’t balloted were not emailed as such.
Nevertheless, when students who were affected returned to CORS, their ballot ranks remained the same. A friend told me that another student has asked the relevant authorities and they said it was a system glitch.
So ignore whatever message you got. But, you’ve probably heard it from your friends already.
