Able to tag non computer science foundation modules as computer science foundation #279

Here, I was able to tag a non computer science foundation module as a computer foundation module. This will present trouble to the user who incorrectly thinks that they have or have not met their degree requirements and plans their curriculum accordingly. I list this as a functionality bug since it goes against the claim that the modtrek is able to help you plan your degree requirements. Moreover, although it is stated in the FAQ that they do not check the module against the accurate one, it is not stated the the degree requirements are also not checked. I think that this feature flaw is non trivial as it undermines the whole purpose of the application. Hence i listed it as a medium severity feature flaw Screenshot 2023-04-14 at 2.46.17 PM.png

Our application is only a tracker so the onus is on the user to add the correct module details, as stated in our UG. This includes the tagging, since mapping of the module are also part of its "correct" details. Furthermore, we are unable to enforce the way users will map the module (eg. using CS2102 as UE or CSBD for Database focus area).
