Hey Reddit! currently grade 11 student and need to pick my courses for grade 12. I am debating on wheter to take grade 12 physics or not. I am currently getting a 88 in grade 11 physics but i feel that in grade 12 it'll really bring down my top 6 average. (Also the fact that its isnt a prerequisite ). I am not amazing at it but i can solve most problems. So whould i take it?

Hi This may be a silliy question. Bad grades, <70 with great side projects and work eval landed internships in US? I am going into 3a CS, haven't really applied to "top" (google,fb, uber, quora, A9, etc..) yet. But I have great dev experiences with outstanding/excellent eval. I have a very tough term this semester, UI, algo, and OS. I am bit afraid to get my heart broken during this term lol. My resume is edited by multiple friends + it seems pretty nice. If I do apply mostly to those companies, should I expect going into continuous round?

So, I missed a midterm due to severe illness and most likely will miss the exam for the same course due to an ongoing illness. The exam is on Monday. I got a VIF today with severe illness. As soon as I finish my exams I will be leaving the country for Christmas break and wont be able to write the exam until next term. I haven't submitted my VIF yet, but just advice me if there will be any problem with missing both midterm and final of one course?? Will the prof fail me or refuse to allow me to write the exam in the following term?? I am really illl and cant prepare.

I am working at King and Spadina, but I know living around this area for cheap is not really possible.

I'm currently in 1A engineering right now, and due to poor decision-making as well as a bout of depression I do not believe I can pass my courses. I'm very unprepared for my examinations. What happens if I were to fail this term? My schedule for 1B has already appeared on Quest, will I still attend those classes next term or will I have to retake the term? Do 1A classes repeat every term or will I have to wait until next year to take them? Will I be put on academic probation if I fail?

Hello everyone I am in grade 12, and I plan to apply to Waterloo for biomedical sciences and kinesiology programs. I would like to enter professional schools after completing undergrad and most professional schools require a high GPA. (around 3.9 or 85%) As of right now, I am doing fine (low to mid 90s), but I was told by my science teachers that your average drops around 10 to 15% in your first year of undergrad. So I am just wondering, are biomedical sciences and kinesiology programs at Waterloo difficult programs to achieve a high GPA? Of course I am willing to work hard, but after doing some research, I found out that there are programs such as UofT Life Sciences, McGill Science, or McMaster Life Sciences, that are extremely hard to achieve a high GPA due to fierce competitions among other students aiming for medicine. I have no clue how easy/difficult Waterloo programs are and I would like some honest opinions. If anyone could give honest opinions on the difficulty of the programs, I would highly appreciate it. Lastly, it would be great if someone could compare the difficulty of the two programs (Kinesiology vs Biomedical Sciences). Thank you!

I wrote my last exam in December 2013 and quickly scurried out of Waterloo soon after. I didn't appreciate you at the time, but you've lingering on my mind recently. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. The 4.5 years we've known each other was nothing short of magical. I exchanged passing glances with other plaza restaurants, and at times, even placed my lips on them. But it was nothing serious! I always came back to you! It was peer pressure. My friends found you a little dirty, but I didn't mind, because it's whats on the inside that matters... Maybe it's nostalgia on this eve before Christmas.... We will meet again. You have shown me what true love means.

Has anyone had Edward Chan for CS 348 before? How are his final exams? His lecture slides are not very enlightening and do not have many examples relating to certain topics. To those who have had him before, what can we expect on the final? A rough breakdown on the distribution of topics on the final would be greatly appreciated (if you remember). The assignments we've gotten post-midterm only cover relational algebra and SQL/JDBC, while the remainder of the content is only presented on the slides (schema analysis, transaction management and security). I'm mainly concerned about the topics which we didn't have any assignments for. It's necessary that you pass the final to pass the course, so I am a little worried since I'm not sure what to expect.

I've gotten really good marks on both midterms that anything above a 10% on the final will give me a pass in the course. That being said, can I get a 10% and still pass, or do I need to actually pass the final in order to pass the course? There's no syllabus on my LEARN for the class and all I could find was this (https://uwaterloo.ca/economics/sites/ca.economics/files/uploads/files/Econ101-02_W13.pdf) from 2013.

I see a lot of people getting terrified over pictures of PAC and the feelings of anxiety prior to an exam. At the end of the day, an exam is just you and a piece of paper. Forget about everything in the environment around you because it doesn't mean shit. Just because there are a bunch of desks lined up nicely with a few extra hundred people around, it does not mean you should be terrified, it has zero relevance towards you. Just focus on yourself. I say this is because I almost had a panic attack for my midterms. In the first minute of my midterm I felt like screaming, so I adopted this mindset and it really helped this time around. I think the best advice is just to be completely in the moment and focus on one question at a time. The difference between a professor and a student is that the prof has put in an extra 10000 hours more than a student, and he/she probably enjoys the subject more. Profs still see the same steps that you see, only he or she can do it faster. TL;DR: It's just a piece of paper. Good luck!

So I've been feeling sick since this morning, and it's been really tough trying to concentrate and focus on studying for my exam tomorrow. I'm not really sure what I should do, since I'd probably fail the exam if I went in at this point. I'm considering going to the doctor, and trying to get the exam deferred. Just not sure which ones I can go to that are near the university to get a verification of illness form signed. If anyone has been in the same situation before, can you let me know what you did/where you went?

I have a professor that has literally copied every since note and assignment question from another source word for word. Literally ALL of his notes and assignments have been taken from various sources exactly word-for-word (which I was able to find online using Google). What annoys me even more that he puts HIS name on everything. Is there anybody I can talk about this? It's frustrating that we pay thousands of dollars but the professor does not put a single bit of effort in teaching.

I'm in my 2B term of engineering and things are not looking good. I may just slip by and get the 60 term average I need but the chances aren't too great. I already failed 1B and repeated that as well. I like the program I'm in and I want to continue to do it but is that a good idea? Has anyone been in this situation or know anyone that has dealt with failing a term twice? I have had personal issues but honestly I know I haven't been putting my best effort forward. It seems I didn't really learn my lesson in terms of my study habits after failing 1B. I know going forward school is only going to get harder and I understand the work effort needed, but at the same time I'm scared of failing again in the future and being being kicked out of the program. That would result in a huge money and time sink being in this program. I have made appointments with an engineering counsellor and academic advisor but I wanted any input you guys had. Any advice or stories would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Practically every time I go through DC entrance doors, multiple people always seem to be standing on either end of the doors to smoke up. Even though there is a pole a few feet away it still doesn't seem far enough. It's not only irritating but gives me a headache despite holding my breathe. Who do I need to contact in the school to move it further out? Even a few days ago when high school students came to visit they seemed visibly annoyed by the smoke they had to walk through to get in.

My ECE 105 final is tomorrow and I'm certain I will not pass this class. I got a 30% in the midterm and I need at least a 65% on the final to finish the class with a 50. This is probably not going to happen. At this rate I'm just trying to get as high as I can so I can still get the 60% overall average I need to go to 1B. Our midterm average over 60%, and I feel if we end up with a 60% avg on our final (which is likely), it is unlikely to be curved. Any tips for people who have written the exam on maximizing marks? What should I focus on to get the most marks possible? And especially on studying this last evening before tomorrow. Extra question in case anyone knows: am I still be able to take ECE106 if I pass my term but fail ECE 105? (If no one knows the definite answer to this, I'll ask my advisor) Thank you everyone for your help.

So I've done extremely poorly in my ECE105 course so far, and I've felt absolutely hopeless about this final exam that I have tomorrow. I've read that if I don't write it and don't provide a reason they just give "DNW" which makes the course count as a 32% towards your average. My question is: if I write the exam and score less than that, can my mark for that course be lower than a 32% towards my average or does it get bumped up to that anyways? If it's a win/win by writing, I'll do it but I wouldn't want to risk scoring less than 32% if it will count against me. Thanks!

It clutters the desk space and now I have to clean up after feds in order to study there. Stop it feds.

Hi, I searched through the posts and know that my 2 options are to ask my employer to extend or just apply for the following term while working. I told my interviewer that I was available for 8 months, but my contract still said 4 months so I'm just assuming that I won't be allowed to extend (worst case scenario). If that is the case, I will still apply on jobmine and just indicate on my cover letter that I am only available for phone/Skype interviews as I am currently working. My concerns are just that my position revolves around clients so I might have lunches and such so I'm not exactly sure when I'll have time to interview. Should I just be upfront to my manager about every interview I have so I can take ~30 mins off? I'm worried that they may get annoyed if this occurs a lot since I'm working on their time. Does anyone have experience with interviewing while working and can offer some advice? I was thinking I should limit the amount of jobs I apply to so I won't have that many interviews to do too.

I'm in 1A ECE and I'm worried about failing ECE 150. I took high school programming, so I became really lazy and irresponsible in regards to this course and started skipping lectures. I have been to nearly no lectures since midterms. I know this is terrible but I was wondering if there is something I could do to still pass this course. I have a 93 (or so) right now because everything before midterms I had learned in high school, but I literally have no idea in terms of almost everything that was taught after midterms. I know I messed up but any suggestions?

If anyone has typed up notes for this term or from previous terms and wouldn't mind sharing with me, I will owe you my life.

Okay so I have still not found a job for my co-op term next semester, which would be my first co-op. I know I can keep looking until February the 8th and if I start working on that date, my work term can still count as co-op However, I have got a lot of advice from upper year students who told me about them not finding a job in their first work-term and then landing a god job in their second. I was considering changing to a study term next semester because I feel like having more courses under my belt will just increase my chances of landing a job. That being said, I don't want to change my co-op stream. I still want to be in school in the spring term and then my next co-op term in the fall. I understand the process of changing to a study term next term would be to submit a change of stream application to CECA. But if I want to keep the same stream (study in spring and work in fall) why can't I just contact the university to somehow allow me to pick courses, because at this point I can only pick a maximum of 1.

So one part of the contract says something along the lines of "things that you develop/invent (which are intellectual pieces of property) while at the company or after your departure through use of knowledge acquired at the company belong to the company." This seems a bit strange to me, and it even applies if it was a done as part of a group. Has anyone else had this before? I know that I can potentially negotiate with the company on this term but I want to make sure that I don't sound crazy first. I'm worried because I wanted to potentially do some side projects while I'm on coop and don't want to be ripped off. Thanks.

But i am not really sure how it is gonna work. Also, is there a high chance of getting a job in Jan? If then, how is the process? I need some advise from ppl who have been in this situation or anyone who can help. Thanks for reading!

I am a first year and I have been to a bunch of interviews. But I found most of them really depressed me. During my last interview, the interviewer began by asking me "Tell me about Ontario's agriculture." (The position is a software developer and I am an international student who came to Canada 3 months ago....) I know this does not happen often and I believe I can finally find a job. Many people around me who have not found a job yet have given up at this moment. But I think I am going to hold on to it, so I have put myself into the database and I am applying every possible job on job mine every single day. Will I get a job? I am really worrying.

I was wondering if anyone has taken the Biol 309 exam can give me any tips on how to study for the exam or maybe generally what kind of things they remember? I have Barb Moffatt for 309 and she didn't really give us a break down... and there are no practice exams to do. There were practice midterms and I did ok on the midterm, so just wondering if someone could please point me in the right direction Sorry if we aren't allowed posting exam specific thing here. Thanks
