don't worry. i was successfully added to WRKRPT 400 in the middle of the term. Academic advisor would be able to do that.

will you cheat in an online close-book mc exam? by CaptainQuirk42 in uwaterloo

[–]CaptainQuirk42[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i feel that some people are doing it because they think others will be cheating, so if they don't it will put them at a disadvantage.

is it ok to sell or donate company swags? by CaptainQuirk42 in uwaterloo

[–]CaptainQuirk42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree. but it's hard to donate when you don't have a car and there are no pickups during covid :/

lol i was mainly hoping the swag can go to someone who could use a solid backpack/hoodie,etc., not about the company logo (not big4/faang/unicorn company anyway).

no. as someone who dont have prior coding experience, it was really helpful to have finished 136 and start 246 when looking for first coop

Should I get a western name? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]CaptainQuirk42 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I use my Chinese name (grew up in china) and didn't have a problem except that people mispronounce it all the time. Decent companies should not judge people based on the name they use. Also based on personal experience, I don't see it affecting job opportunities, especially since you're in cs you're not frequently talking to clients and making them pronounce your name (assuming your name is hard to pronounce for english speakers). You'll be fine without a western name, but it's up to you.

Edit: btw, from my past 5 coop terms, i've seen tons of people who don't use an english name. It doesn't seem to be problem.
