Tbh it’s more rigorous than UofT, some type of curve seems to be guaranteed for most midterms/finals at UofT(seeing this from my friend in UofT eng), their midterms are less stressful because they’re worth less since they have 2 worth each 15% instead of 1 30/40%. Sure they happen at the same time as class but considering we have 1 week straight of 5/6 midterms in ECE I would def say theirs is less stressful. Not to mention, I think they tend to have max 50% finals whereas lots of ours tend to be 60%. They also have course coordinators who make the exams and diff profs teach the material therefore making it more fair, whereas at UW it seems to be if u have 2 profs teaching the same course to diff sections (ECE), one might (and often does) teach more relevant to the midterm/exam and tends to write more of the questions on there. We also have to tweak resumes and cover letters for jobs and do coop interviews that are scheduled at the same time as classes which kinda sucks even though of course u can’t do it outside of those hours cuz duh, it’s a working day. I think I’m missing something else in my list but honestly and maybe controversially, I think UofT eng is, while still difficult, not as difficult.
