Just wondering if anyone has ever requested Jonathan Price to waive a prerequisite in any of his Geography and Environmental Management courses and if you were successful? I'm trying to graduate by the end of the spring term and avoid coming back in the fall for one course. Waterloo course scheduling is terrible though so it almost seems impossible to work around, unless I can get a prereq waiver for GEOG 407.

Graduted in 2012 (eng). Really got nostaligic reading all these reddit posts of UW and so wanted to share my random thoughts on my alma mater. **My life after UW so far** 1. Semi-permanently (meaning I am willing to go back to live in Canada anytime if opportunity presents iteself) moved back to my home country the day after my last exam 2. As soon as I went back I luckily got a job at a smartphone company (not apple). I engineered flexible OLED display which was quite interesting. 3. Despite good money and interesting job, I got fed up with corporate politics and culture. So I quit after 1.5 year 4. Travelled Southeast Asia for 2 months 5. Came back, kind of got bored with no job. So I moved to a company that's in completley different industry (consumer goods). Been business-traveling to China many times. **Good things out of graduating UW** 1. shit load of things to put on resume as soon as you graduate - a lot to BS about 2. your soon-to-be "UW alum" status gives you a huge network opportunity - met quite a few UW alums at places which I thought were the last place I would expect to meet fellow UW. I can really feel the growing presence of UW around the world (well, at least places I've been to) 3. some of your dumbest friends at UW will become your greatest network - coming from my personal experience. A lot of my good buddies are working for high-profile companies in various fields. 4. 5 years of non-stop studying and working really prepares you for the real life and gives you a full sense of indenpendece - I didn't realize this until I met many of non-UW people who are around my age.. They are visibly not prepared for real life and lack independence from their parents. Also even financial-wise I know way more about how to take care of my money. **Some of things I regret/realized** 1. No idea why I was so obsessed wtih getting good GPAs - They don't mean a shit anymore. Just pass. 2. Why did I not enjoy univ life to its maximum - back then I thought joining clubs, volutneering, going to various events was a complete waste of time. And I kinda stopped making new frineds from 2A. 3. And why did I not do enough stupid things - getting drunk, high, arrested, or grinding till my penis burns out etc. Done it, but regret not doing it enough. After all, they all become a good piece of memory. 3. Getting "good" job is a 90% luck and 10% ur effort - true story. 4. Not joining a startup / too afraid to start my own company. I didn't realize the UW spirit that I was surrounded by while I was there cannot be found anywhere else around the world. 5. Not making gf **Some of things UW can improve on for its students** 1. Give students some break - schedules all the way from 1A to 4B are way too tight. This naturally force students become overly obseesed with academics. We already get no "summer break" over 5 years. This really burnt me out personally and had no time to recover. No wonder a lot of students go through anxiety problem 2. Slow the fuck down with tuition hikes 3. Stop asking for fucking donation Any fellow UW alums out there want to share your thoughts?

OTC means over the counter BTW. Caffeine doesn't work at all for me and just makes my sick to my stomach (like diarrhea). Aderrall seems like it would work but I don't want to get a prescription for it though I do think I have ADD or ADHD while studying. I don't really want to go to the doctor because I think it will take up too much time. I also end up procrastinating a lot and can't focus then end up stressing to much which further reduces my focus. I also don't drink alcohol or smoke any drugs. I don't want hard stuff, maybe something that lasts like 4+ hours upto maybe 10 hours at most. Something just for focus and heightened memory? I understand that a lot of times people crash after, which okay especially if I take one on the weekend, then I can rest the next day. Please don't hate on me for considering drugs. I want to only take them during exam times or maybe on weekends so I can get studying done. I still can't focus while doing assignments but studying is much worse for me. I'm also gonna repost this to WLU subreddit for additional insight. Though I'm very stressed, I'm not suicidal. I have friends that I joke with and stuff so it takes a bit of the edge off but studying is just extremely stressful so I try to go away from it do other stuff.

I've seen a lot of shit posts about AFM and SAF in general on this subreddit lately. Hopefully what I can offer here is different and if not, well...fuck. To reiterate the title, I'm here to answer any questions from current students looking for a career path outside the SAF norm. That is, if there are any of you around. Some context about me — I graduated early 2014 and I currently work in San Francisco as a designer. In school I had mediocre grades and close to zero accounting and finance experience across my 4 co-op terms. I'll leave the rest of the details for AMA.

So I tried logging into my email today, and it told me my password was incorrect. Thinking I typed it in wrong, I tried once or twice more. Then when it continued to reject my advances, I tried the same on Jobmine, same deal, no luck. So I did a little bit of browsing, and found the main database where you can reset your passward by answering a few default questions, and tried to login and reset my password, and it said unable to log me in. At this point, if I try to log in on any WatIAm services (Quest, Learn, Jobmine, etc), it says "Failed to deserialize ... " Does anyone have any advice, as I really need access to my account.

Hi. I'm a first year bio-medical sciences student. Long story short, I was a mid-90's student in high school, but now I'm barely passing. My ability to stay in my program depends on the results of the finals I just took. In high school, I was studious and good with time management. Ever since living away from home in residence, I have lost focus of my work and delved much deeper into the partying scene. I'm sidetracked, and I paid the price through my grades this term. I'm wondering if the lab components count towards my average weighted equally with my other courses? And any advice to help me get back on my feet? I'm very close to breaking point. I've disappointed my parents. I've wasted everything they've invested into me. I've wasted time and energy since being here. I'm angry and I'm sad and I feel hopeless. I'm among the lower tier of kids in my program. I feel like a loser who doesn't know their priorities. I'm having trouble adjusting. Everything is closing in on me. But the fact that other people are able to deal with these sane issues while I'm here failing makes me feel even worse.

I have an exam tonight for which I have a note from the health services building. I sent my prof an email asking about the note and the procedure for a deferred exam but they haven't replied. What should I do? If I write the exam I know I won't do good since I was sick and I read about a policy stating if you write your exam and youre sick the grade stays the same EDIT: I just don't know what to do since if I don't write the exam I hope to get it deferred to write it later when I am in a better physical condition. However, if I do not get granted the INC then I risk just getting a DNW Also, if I go to write the exam I will not do well because of the illness I had and so i will get a bad mark in this course also since the final is worth such a big amount

*TL;DR in bold.* About to enter 1B and realized I've **never officially done anything outside of school** (clubs, teams, organizations, etc.). Yeah, I know, I'm not sure how I got accepted to UW either. Good co-op in my program is dependent on prior leadership opportunities/experience. **What can I join in 1B (and onwards) that might actually accept me, and will look good on a resumé?**

Hey guys, so I'm a bit confused with degree options and was wondering if I could get some practical advice! I enjoy all three subjects equally (health, econ and bio) and would want to job in the future that could combine them in some way. Currently my aim is to go to law school and work in Public health or if that doesn't work out get either a masters in economics, biotechnology or public health and work as an economist in the health sector or something o that sort. So with that in consideration what combo of majors would u recommend? Which combination would b the most practical and "safest" bet for a job in case I don't get in to law or graduate school? BA - joint honours Economics, Biology BSc - Health Studies, Economics minor BSc - joint honours Health studies, Biology BSc - Health Studies Concurrent BA - 3 year economics The last option would take me an extra year/year and a half to graduate but I would graduate with dual degrees. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

No names mentioned, no personal details will be mentioned Long story short: * me and my bf broke up on a bad note * he ordered me a restraining order for me to not talk to him in any means through the campus police (just verbal no written) * he took my phone away he gave me as a birthday gift * I needed the phone back and he paid for all of our dates so I gave him two cheques * One cheque for phone (call it cheque #1), one cheque for half the expense of all the stuff he paid for me (call it cheque #2) * I gave him cheques because I don't have money and I support myself (hence why she paid for all of my dates) so it was a promise note sortof thing to tell him I need it and I will pay for it * I gave him the cheque to one of his friend to deliver to him, on a condition that he will not cash it unless I tell him to so it won't NSF bounce on me * I needed the phone quick so my family wouldn't notice but he said he would have to wait 3 days before he knows cheque #1 (for phone) doesn't bounce * I sent him an e-transfer for the phone instead and requested for both the cheques back so I'd just e-transfer them instantly but he refused to give me the cheque #2 back * I tried asking for cheque back in many ways but nothing worked, got only my phone and cheque #1 for phone back * Campus police officer said he'll not cash cheque#2 but also advised that if I dont trust him, I should stop the cheque * Stopping the cheque would've costed me $10 but he gave the officer and I a verbal promise so I decided to trust him. Campus police officer has also been keep telling me to resolve this issue through the civil court * Meanwhile, he's been dropping my name on Tinder and telling everyone what happened between us so I asked the campus police officer what can be done about this; heard nothing back still * On Dec 1, checking for my pre-authorized payment to be sent to my landlord, and I've noticed that cheque #2 was cashed without any notice by my bf on Nov 30 * I've gone on negative balance, no overdraft could be drawn because I don't have a job and I was charged $95 of NSF from both my landlord and my bank institute * Requested to my bf informally to get my money back, got brutal responses back saying he has the right to that money (it was my sign of gratitude) and that I shouldn't be talking to him like this * Campus police officer alerted that I should not be talking directly to him and I will be arrested as per restraining order so I requested the officer to help mediate this issue and send my requests to him through my e-mails * The officer shut down my requests (dont even know if my requests were sent to my bf) and that any further issues would have to be dealt with at civil court and not through him This issue not only put my financial life in danger, because he knows I don't have money but purposely cashed the cheque right before Dec 1 knowing I'd have money for my rent, but I had to miss out on lectures on last week to try and solve money issues because of what he did. He's also been dropping my names to total strangers which I don't feel safe about; I feel threatened to see him take such actions and I feel like my university life is at risk, especially because he has taken actions and I've had people approach me anonymously or through fake accounts on fb saying I'm a scum. Since he's been taking negative actions about me and we're in the same field, he's more established and well developed in the field and I have to look for coop jobs in the future, I feel like he could stop me from getting coop jobs as well if he tried. I just feel threatened about being in univeristy with him in general. The money isn't the issue here, I don't trust the campus police officer anymore and I've tried to request the UW conflict & management office for a mediation, nothing heard still. What can I do to try and resolve this issue, given that he's pretty much blocked all form of communication with me but I want him to stop all these and leave things on neutral note at least? *Edit*: oh boy, the amount of prejudice and bigotry.

Let's say you are writing in the PAC for an early morning exam. On your way, you just gobbled down some left-overs from home. As you start the exam, your brain goes numb and the questions are making you feel sick? All of a sudden, the leftovers from last night comes flying up your throat and out your mouth and onto the floor of the PAC. What happens then? * Are you allowed to write the exam as if nothing happened? If so, are you allowed to at least change spots? * Are you kicked out for causing a disturbance (even though it was out of your control)? * Do you get the exam deferred? Do you fail the exam?

I've always been interested in the idea of doing research and contributing to a field with original findings and whatnot, and I would like to, at some point or another, consider doing research with a professor in order to get an idea of what graduate school may be like and whether it is something that would fit my interests and goals. I'd like to find an opportunity like this at some point, and I figure that there's nothing to lose in doing so earlier than later. That being said, the Waterloo website states that URAs are only available from 2A onwards. Does anybody know or have experience with asking profs to do a research assistantship in first year? I don't really care for any sort of payment or grants or whatnot--it is just something that I would like to do for a few hours every week in order to test the waters and identify my interests. I figure that first-year students are mostly useless, since they don't have enough of a background in their field of study to be helpful to the prof, but I would definitely be interested in hearing others' viewpoints. If this is something I shouldn't really concern myself with yet, then please let me know. Elsewise, I'd like to hear people's experiences or recommendations for a student curious in doing research (I should mention that I don't really have any specific topics that I'm interested in--rather, I would like to learn about something that I really don't know much about). I'm headed into 1B Mechanical Engineering, as my flair says. Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help. :)

Hi! I'm currently a high-school student in Serbia. Here we have >15 required subjects, and the Serbian version of GPA is the arithmetical average between all of them. In Serbian universities, all grades in all four years of HS are taken into account during admission. What I'm unable to find anywhere is, how would our grades, or grades of a similar schooling system with more than 6 subjects, be converted to a Canadian GPA? (I'm interested in UofWaterloo in particular if it matters) Would only 6 subjects get taken into consideration, or would all grades have effect? If it's the former, how are the 6 chosen? I'm sorry if this is a little off topic for /r/uwaterloo, but I'm not sure where else to go to.

So for my elective I chose to take physics 111 as I thought that it would be similar to high school physics. For the most part the course was fairly easy and I had a 90 in the course going into the exam, but as you all probably heard practically none of the physics exam's went well. I didn't know how to do 2 of the questions and even messed up the questions I studied for. I would say, I got less than 60% on that exam. I participated in all the tutorials, so the exam is only worth 50% of my mark, which puts my final mark somewhere in the 60 - 75% range. People have mentioned that Phys 111 is often curved, but I am not exactly counting on it. So my question is: Being a Math student, how much would it effect me if I got a low mark in a elective such as physics 111? note : In general, none of my exams went well this term. I might get lower than 60 in 137 (depending on my exam mark) and my 85 in M135 will most likely drop.

Hey guys, I'm on my first co-op right now and, like most people on co-op this term, tomorrow will be my last day. However, my manager has not yet done my performance evaluation and hasn't really been in all week. He won't be in today or tomorrow either. When I asked him about it, he said the deadline to get that done and submit it to UWaterloo was the second week of January and he said he won't forget and that he'll get it done by then. This is concerning me for two reasons: 1. I was under the impression that the co-op student is supposed to go through the performance evaluation with the employer and walk through it so that both know what the final evaluation will be and if there's anything that needs to be changed/adjusted, it can be done. 2. This company has not hired too many Waterloo students in the past and I'm not sure if my manager is aware of how the co-op ratings work. Ie. "very good" is not *actually* very good. I personally feel that I deserve at least an excellent evaluation and I have my reasons for believing this, but as my manager is usually not in the office, I'm worried he may give me a very good or perhaps even lower which is why I especially want to go through it with him so that I know what I'm going to be getting and so that I can make sure I get an evaluation that I think I deserve. Have any of you been in this situation before and if so, what did you do about it? I remember the last co-op student coming in at the start of this term in the second week of September to get his performance evaluation done, but I don't know if I'll be able to do this next term as the office isn't in Waterloo and it would be quite a hassle to do this. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Does it mean that just doing the exam alone, or taking the entire course again? Does my mark stay the same or does it get updated upon clearing?

What does it mean by clearing the course?

I swear, I've walked past this room at least 3 times this term and looked inside and saw a couple either making out or getting frisky in some manner or another. Like you people realize that this room has windows all over it right? People can see inside. If you're going to have sex, do it in SLC 2132, no windows.

I was studying for a final and was using my midterm to prep and I noticed that I lost a lot of marks for one question and I checked the answer key and realized that I had only made one slight calculation mistake. The prof set a deadline for students to submit their midterms for a remark which was a week after the midterm was handed back - and it's been a month since then. Has anyone ever asked for a remark this late and got it remarked?

So I submitted an AIF on google chrome for computer science and engineering. And I just found out that Quest doesn't support Google Chrome? I'm scared that they didn't get my applications. Do I need to resubmit it somehow?

So I've read the [unofficlal intern guide](https://stephenholiday.com/Unofficial-Waterloo-USA-Intern-Guide) and from what I've gathered, it takes 10 days + 2~3 weeks in total to actually get the card So suppose I arrive in Jan. 1, I'd have to wait at least until Jan. 11 to go to the SSA, the thing is they open 9~3 which overlaps with my working hours. How did you guys get around that? Also I assume your employer would just hold up your salary until you figure out the SSA & bank account stuff? Which means I won't have any available cash from salary until at least a month later?

Or am I just tripping balls... You guys know any good places to learn to code Java? I'm doing my high school java course but I've come to realize it's really under par compared to what the other schools are teaching.
