When Jobmine sends ft packages to employers, can employers see how their coop evals have been? It's pretty subjective, considering my employer did his eval for the first time, and gave me a "good", even though he gave me no bad feedback.

Synopsis: Do you feel that the accommodations offered to students with learning disabilities gives them an unfair advantage? Example: Two common accommodations provided to people with ADHD, ADD, and/or dyslexia include extra time to write (usually 1.5 to 2 times the regular allotted time) and an alternate exam location. Background: Trolls or not a number of the negative posts in the 2009 OMGUW post linked below are opinions I have encounter throughout my own education and I'm interested to know what opinions people hold now. I'm in CS so im particularly curious about the opinions of people in related programs. http://www.omguw.com/2009/06/1958.html

To any students who have taken either of these courses, how were they? I'm DD BCS/BBA so I can either take Math 128 (in which I need a 70%) or Math 138 (in which I only need a 60%). My thinking is its better to take the 138 so that I know more material and make life easier down the road but at the same time, maybe higher marks in 128 would be better for that coop average...

It seems the common thing for many people who just finished their coop term in the US to do on facebook are: - check-in to the airport and write a cheesy sentence - Take a picture of their passport as if there is some significance to the fact they have a passport I'm not jealous at all since I've done a coop in the US but I want to know why it's so prevalent among our generation to fucking post pictures of every meal they are having. I wish Facebook would have an automatic filter of this shit as it's annoying as fuck having to witness the need that many people to share things of no significance.

Before I start I just want to say I've already used the search bar and read up on a bunch of the stuff I'm about to ask, but I found most answers weren't what I was looking for. I recently submitted my university application. For Waterloo I applied to CS and Software Engineering. The problem is that I don't know whether I want to go into programming or into engineering (not specifically SE - any type). Here are a bunch of things I found I liked/thought about in regards to each program. **Engineering** > What I like about it * I enjoyed helping to build a robot for my school's Robotics team * I enjoyed building a trebuchet which I had to for my physics class * I enjoy physics and tinkering around with things, although I don't actually do it all that much now * I have heard that engineers have more "exit opportunities" than programmers. This means that while a programmer might make more money initially, engineers can go into management positions and live a more stable life > Concerns * I don't know how true this is, but I have a general idea that engineers don't make as much money as programmers. I know that money shouldn't be a deciding factor since both fields make enough money to live comfortably, but I can't help but have this thought at the back of my mind. * I mentioned this before, but it's not like I am always working on projects and stuff. This becomes more relevant later on when I explain why I'm having doubts about programming. * I have been stuck with this idea of going into programming for like a year now, so to turn back and go into engineering, I can't help but think "did I make the right choice?". This also goes for CS (the idea that I may have made the wrong choice) **Programming** > What I like about it * I like solving problems - I always enjoyed solving puzzles and whatnot. I also liked the intro to computer science class I took in grade 11, which is what really pushed me to go for programming * I think the money is better in programming (at least initially) - but again, I know this shouldn't be a deciding factor * I like the idea of being able to do a lot more with the computer I have in front of my rather than being limited by physical limitations * I always used to be involved with technology and was sort of my houses go-to tech guy. I'm sure this doesn't mean much, but any info may help. > Concerns * My biggest concern is that I don't know if I am cut out for programming. Other people constantly code in their free time, but I would rather watch anime instead. I searched up "is programming for me?" and found answers that would range from "if you don't code 24/7, crave to program,. and see the whole world in code all the time, programming isn't for you" to "if you like problem solving it's probably a good field". Does the fact that I don't have this urge to code mean that programming isn't for me? * Most people in my school who are going into programming have been doing it for a while now. I fear that I may be behind... Ofc this isn't really that big of an issue because I can always learn. But like I said, in my free time I watch anime. To me, programming seems like doing more work? Like it's not something I'd do to unwind. Maybe this is because I don't have any goal right now, like I am just programming for the sake of learning and not being behind? * Furthermore, if I choose programming, and I make it into both CS and SE, I don't know which one to choose. I feel like I am only thinking about SE because it's harder to get into and therefore must mean I am smarter (which is obviously not true). It also seems that CS and SE people get the same type of jobs, so why go through all that trouble of taking physics and chem and all these other courses? I've already searched this up, but apart from the cohort system, I don't really know why I would go into SE. * Also, if I go into programming, I read on this subreddit and others that there are less "exit opportunities" and there exists an issue of ageism. How true is this and does this affect everyone? Also, how many hours would I have to work initially? If I get old and/or start a family, would I be working a bunch of hours to keep up with new technology? **TL;DR** I don't know whether to go into programming (either CS or SE - don't know which one, advice would help) or engineering (also don't know which one). I don't program all that much in my free time, but I also don't do engineering projects unless it's school related. Did anyone else go through this same problem or something like it? If so, which one did you choose.

Hey there! A bit of an update to my past situation, I decided to forgo the uni residence and go for an off-campus option as then I could sign for a full year lease instead. Just curious to find a place where it's pretty close to the uni (especially where grad CS classes are), as well as near public transport/access to the main city of Waterloo itself. Any ideas on which side I should look at? Is the off campus housing officer affiliated with the uni any good, as I'm looking for tenants who would be nice, organised and fun but not too much of partying during session (i.e. like not huge ass parties 3-4 nights a week) cause we still need to get our shit together lol. Also, as I'd be travelling from Toronto to Waterloo in the morning of a weekday, what is my best option? I noticed the bus seems to be the only way to get to Waterloo from Toronto city or am I missing something here... Cheers!

I am a current grade 12 high school student and I am going to be applying to Waterloo for next year. I had previously been intent on going into software engineering, but upon further review I am not so certain. I was looking into computer engineering so I would have the option of doing things other than just software, but still have the same opportunities for a software career as in software engineering. What are the advantages of software over computer? I looked at the courses and they seem really similar. Would computer be better so I have more options available? Would I lose anything by going into computer and focusing on software electives and coops rather than software engineering? One of the reasons I originally wanted to take software was because of the high admission average. I believed that this meant it was a better program, but looking at it now it may not be the case. I don't think admission will be a concern for me. Any advice is appreciated.

Context: I was planning on applying to Waterloo for normal accounting, but realized that Waterloo offered this different program. From what I've heard, the Math/CPA program switches out some business courses with some more math; will that be something that will help me in the long term? I've also noticed that Math/CPA is more competitive, and I'm wondering how much harder it is and if it's worth it to go through that effort. Any information will be greatly appreciated!

Can someone explain to me the benefits of taking Math/CPA as opposed to standard AFM?

If I am off by .5% from a 50% in a class, would the professor be likely to round it off or boost it to 50? It's only off by a little bit. TIA

It's a bit far from campus, but I was out in Bridgeport today at Bridge St E & Bloomingdale Rd N and there was a portable sign up announcing that Mister Panino Italian Sandwiches is coming soon. Is this a revival of the original Mister Panino? Is it a brand new Panino business? Does Mr Panino Beijing House know about this? I have many questions and hope to investigate further this week.

Basically I transferred from another university into CS at waterloo but I have to be here for the full 5 years since my transfer credits don't really apply to math or cs (I'm in BCS). because of the number of transfer credits I got, i get 5 coop terms instead of 6, but it'd be better to have my coop terms spread out nicely between schools terms and I love coop here. Has anyone ever gotten this done?

So I opted out to not live in UWP next semester with a withdraw form. They sent it though email in a link and called it "Withdraw form" explaining that if you filled it out you wouldnt be living in UWP next semester... Fast forward today I realize I AM PAYING FOR RES STILL. IT TURNS OUT I HAVE TO STILL PAY EVEN THOUGH I SIGNED THE FUCKING WITHDRAW FORM. I have the e-mail, it says NOTHING about having to pay for the semster. Im gonna loose $3000 because UW is a bunch of greedy bastards. Fuck this shit. I cant believe this. I dont know what to do, did I not learn from my last uni to NOT LIVE IN FUCKING RES! BIGGEST SCAM EVER. FUCK YOU UW YOU PIECE OF SHIT SCHOOL HOLY FUCK. Anyone know what to do???

How often does it happen to UW students that they do assignments exceedingly well (sometimes over 100% due to bonus questions), think they have a good mastery of the material, even get almost 90% on the midterm, do prepare for the final, are convinсed that they'll write it well, and then, when the final's over, they realize that they did rather poorly?

Hello, I am a first year student in the Arts Faculty and highly considering transferring to the Planning program next year. I have done a lot of research and talked to an advisor. I have to take a course that conflicts with a 100 level arts course that I am taking next term that is required for being admitted to an Arts major. I really want to transfer but since admission is not guaranteed it could put my arts track into jeopardy. Any suggestions or comments about the Planning program?

Idk this whole 1st semester, I've been getting bad vibes from my TA and she's been marking extra hard compared to the other students who have the same TA. It's so frustrating no matter how much effort I decide to put in an assignment, only to get a shitty mark. And to see my final grades slowly coming in. I feel like she's truly fucking me over...

Dear Students, Canadians are responding to the international refugee crisis in ways that reflect our values of freedom, respect for cultural differences, peace and collaboration. I would like to share some initiatives we are supporting across campus as we raise awareness of emerging options. The University is pleased to share with you that we have asked our student refugee partner agency World University Service of Canada to increase Waterloo’s intake of refugee students next year, dedicating the increase to Syrian refugee students who wish to attend the University of Waterloo or any of our four Affiliated and Federated Institutions. We have worked with Their Excellencies David and Sharon Johnston to ensure eligible Syrian refugees students have access to their scholarship and international endowments here at Waterloo. Locally, community organizations are preparing to receive and help settle 1,150 refugees over the next several weeks. Local governments and Waterloo Region’s Immigration Partnership Council are working with these organizations to identify needs specific to our region and have launched Waterloo Region Welcomes Refugees, which coordinates and directs a variety of options for providing support. Internationally, the Red Cross is also supporting hundreds of thousands of refugees in situ. We are mindful that these refugees do not have the benefit of resettlement to Canada or another country. To find out more or make a contribution see the University of Waterloo giving page. Over the last several months, members of our own University community have also been finding meaningful ways to contribute. Volunteer opportunities supporting local community organizations will be coordinated by the Federation of Students Volunteer Centre. Opportunities are open to members of the UWaterloo community and will be updated once need has been identified by local organizations. University of Waterloo academic research and insights continue to expand our understanding of the crisis and of potential solutions. Our University community is also encouraging discussions around the Syrian refugee crisis through public lectures, seminars and information sessions. Student-led initiatives, such as the Society of Arab Students donation drive in April and October, are helping refugees at the Dar Al Fatwa refugee camp in Lebanon. Led by the Faculty of Arts, the University has developed a collection of items for Refugee Relief Kits. Renison University College has established a fundraising campaign to support Syrians not able to leave the Middle East in partnerships with the Mennonite Central Committee. As various levels of government continue to release details around their plan for settlement, additional opportunities to support these efforts may arise. We will keep the campus community apprised of relevant developments in the coming weeks and months. I thank you for your efforts thus far and know that you will join in supporting Canada’s approach to this global crisis.

Just out of curiosity, because a prof is being a dick and holding the last permission code for a class I NEED to take for POTENTIAL graduate students who might want to enroll late. It's really making me mad, so I am wondering if there is any way to glitch into a full class. I should mention that the permission code he is holding is because the class is also cross listed with a graduate class, so the Undergrad version is full, but there is an open spot for the graduate version (same class, same prof, same students) but he won't give it to me cus he's a dick <- my interpretation. Anyways, if anyone has any idea, let me know :)

After 1A my average is just shy of 80 (I'm assuming one mark). My goal obviously is to make it into Co-op (And ActSci but my average is good enough for that), so I am planning my next such that my odds of making it in are at their greatest. The courses I have next term are Math136, Math138, Econ101, Afm101 and CS116. The Math's and CS I must take, but should I swap out econ and afm for different courses, and if so, which courses? Thank you

Twas two days Christmas in the city of Waterloo And in the minds of students, a deep, concerning blue For the clock struck 12, and students became tense Putting in quest passwords while their minds running immense For marks would come out and realizations made While Laurier students had fun and got laid As students felt worried or trapped in a cage CS majors made programs to refresh the page And finally, once the heavy traffic had ceased Minds were either angry, disheartened or pleased But just so you all know, this isn’t in stone Email your profs for unseen efforts you’ve shown And if your outcome was good, have some fun tonight For you survived another term in this quasi-hellhole of plight If neither suit your fancy, just look at me I’m currently drunk and watching dragonball Z To all the Waterloo students, an end of term toast Either way, at least this isn’t a shitpost EDIT: keep adding bars in the comments, they're awesome!

Throughout this whole term, I did not think I was going to make it. All my peers were consistently doing better than me. There were a lot of moments this term that would reiterate to me how stupid I was and that I didn't belong here. I truly believed I didn't belong here with a bunch of smart kids that would outdo me even with their minimal effort. But tonight, I think I finally understand that I'm here to stay. That feeling of overcoming adversity... All the hard work, all the hours of pain, all the suffering. It all makes sense now. Everything. I am willing to endure more of this, I truly welcome it. I want to get back to school right away to do even better than before. It's only going to get harder from here, but if I just keep up the hard work, maybe I can make it to the end.

I just got a notice of a loan overpayment of $2500 because i accidentally applied for osap for 2 academic terms when I was only in school for 1 term and I am now going into coop. I'm really terrified just because I got a job that is about an hour commute from where I am living and it only pays 18$/hour. I'm scared I'm not going to be able to pay back the $2500 in time for the summer term. I need OSAP to be able to be in school in the summer and they are saying that if I don't pay the $2500 that i will be ineligible for more OSAP. Also does what is the avg estimate for OSAP for a low-middle income family after a coop term with a job that pays 18-20$ an hour...
