Cannot add custom mapping #549

Open nus-pe-bot opened 1 week ago

nus-pe-bot commented 1 week ago

I tried to input the following course mapping but it kept rejecting me without telling me why it does so. The user guide does not state any restrictions on which courses can be mapped and if found a valid course i can map i would do the following to add it in. I tried multiple examples to get a mapping yet none worked. I even tried inputting an existing module both (nus and partner) and it did not work. It was not stated what the limits are and there is no specified formatting errors either. It is only stated in the UG under the FAQ section. It was not stated in the user guide that custom mappings cannot be added. It was not made clear and any user including me assumed it would be possible especially considering the very slim number of module mappings provided. Infact a large portion of module mapping done in SoC and by CEG students are actually custom.

Thanks!

Team's Response

Thanks for the feedback! We have consulted the Professor, and he had recommended us to validate and maintain the accuracy of our course mappings in the program, hence we did not allow for custom mappings to be added into the personal tracker, and only allow for approved mappings (gathered from EduRec and mentioned in the DG) to be added. However, this could be a possible feature for future iterations as we understand that SoC and CEG students may have some new mappings in mind.
