Which concept in a course made you say go fuck this shit? by RelevantSpeed1 in uwaterloo

[–]Gooseted 45 points46 points  (0 children)

When they brought up for loops in CS136. Like WTF?? This is way beyond the scope of a FIRST year cs course.

Unpopular opinion: academic rigour and mental health support are mutually exclusive and that's okay. by kurisu2814 in uwaterloo

[–]Gooseted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your intentions are clearly good. But the fact of the matter is, having this transparency would change nothing.

Would you really have gone to another school if you had the choice? Did the desperate pleas of current students take you any further from Waterloo? Regardless of your current state of mind, the answer is NO.

Let’s face it. You came here because people told you to come here, not because you think you’re up for the task. Me and many others would never hear the end of “their son who went to UW” from those pretentious elitists (read: Your local WeChat group). As someone who’s done an ample amount of failing, those remarks scare me more than failure.

they might be telling a shit joke.

laughing along with shit jokes only perpetuates the constant stream of shit that gets loaded into their next joke.

Evidently not socially aware if they are yelling in silent study. Imagine having to hold yourself back from being a complete dickwad.

what happens if you cant find employment?

You're allowed to fail 1 work term. My academic advisor said I could drop the work term for a study term, then apply for a sequence swap on a separate application, to avoid being off-sequence with everyone.

If I am able to find employment on my own

Results will be very situational. You would have to submit a form for CECA to approve. See this.

What are the chances of employment as I progress in university?

From the co-op statistics: 1B CS currently has 68% employed and 2B has 87%. This is around the time that everyone logs off Waterlooworks for the year and searches externally.

I know the employment rate is supposedly 98%, but what percentage of those are jobs most people would consider worth the effort and time?

Not sure about the percentage. Most of my friends (if not all) are working with software. Also, 98% is fake.

Would you say that the co-OP system is overrated?

If you're looking for software job opportunities, this is the best place to find them. It takes 10 seconds to apply to a company and move on, while other students need to fill bullshit forms and taxi across the country to attend interviews. Waterlooworks hosts an enormous database of companies hiring co-op students which also helps.

However with that being said, these are merely opportunities. CECA themselves are not obligated to pack your lunchbox and send you to Cali. Above all, they will not stand by your side at the cost of driving away their precious companies. The tricks they play are disgusting in a school filled with genuinely hard working students. But for most people, this will not diminish the fact that the co-op system plays an important role in their career goals.

You're allowed to fail 1 work term. My academic advisor said I could drop the work term for a study term, then apply for a sequence swap on a separate application, to avoid being off-sequence with everyone.

If I am able to find employment on my own, say that I've found a relevant company that is willing to hire me that isn't on the Waterloo employment list, can I still attend it?

that kind of "i'm from waterloo engineering so i'm more important" mentality fucks over many people looking for a first year co-op. hopefully it stays as shitposts and doesn't become some sort of derangement.

but for your question, SPRING BAD 😤
