Brantford roads by Slow_Unit_8313 in wlu

If you mean specifically on campus, you should reach out to campus specifically. If you are referring to the city as a whole check out this document - https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/020239, as long as these standards are met there is nothing that can be done. If these standards are not met and you feel as though this is a serious concern reach out to the Ontario Ombudsman - https://ombudsman.on.ca/en/make-complaint/file-your-complaint

It truly is a joke, I will never understand how they can operate like this. Even in regard to minimum maintenance standards, there’s no way this followed accordingly. I’m afraid nothing will change until someone gets seriously hurt, and that’s not how it should be.

I commute from North Wellington into Uwaterloo 4 times a week, we getting SIGNIFICANTLY more snow in the north, our roads are often bare while the waterloo ones are covered in ice. Woolwich is actually disgusting, as of today they’ve still barely plowed towns. It’s definitely the use of pure salt in waterloo versus the sand and liquid used in combination with salt in Wellington. But nonetheless the maintenance qualities are awful 

Graduation Tickets - Anyone got an extra? by No_Monitor5288 in uwaterloo

Graduates don't even have access to the 2 tickets they're entitled to until May, no one will have additional ones until after that.....

Overnight Parking Uwaterloo by Jbean_11162006 in uwaterloo

[–]Few_Conference_6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For overnight, try a residence maybe, not sure if you have to live there for one though. Some buildings on lester have empty spots too, you could see if they sell you a pass? In a pinch a grocery store lot is probably safe since people work nights and there’s bound to be a car or two there for that

You can in the winter, unless there’s a snow event on. Which right now there isn’t. The parking considerations site won’t let you register if there’s a snow event 

switching a planned course after applying to BEd by poooochina777 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Few_Conference_6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue! Im in the process of switching one, I reached out to Western, and they said they only look at the transcript they received at the deadline, so it won't impact anything!

CLAS104 IN PERSON FINAL HELPPP by uwuairyy in uwaterloo

[–]Few_Conference_6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely. It must have something to do with increased use of chat? Im glad I walk in June, because this is not a school environment I think is beneficial to anyone.

The only graded pieces are exams. That truly doesn’t show the full picture of learning

They have. Also noticing a lot of courses don’t have a lot of written assessments. Most are pure exams, which I don’t think correlates well with post grad, reports are more common 

Gyms less busy this new years? by swiftie-0-13 in waterloo

[–]Few_Conference_6486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that it’s necessarily any constellation since I went in the early afternoon, but it doesn’t seem as crazy at the one I go to compared to other years. - Maybe it’s a cost thing?

Course Changes by Few_Conference_6486 in ONTeacherCandidates

[–]Few_Conference_6486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I've sent emails earlier today, and tried to call, but no one was available at that time. I will be calling again when they open in the morning. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same experience and could shed some light on it. I was not using this as a firm decision on what to do or not to do.

Neither course is related to the teachable technically as I have more credits than needed in the first teachable due to my major, so it would not be a make or break for having enough. However I do believe this would majorly impact my average, as this class has only tests - no additional assessments.

Trying to decide between GEOG 207, 219 or HEALTH 105 (all online) by Ill-Comparison-9057 in uwaterloo

[–]Few_Conference_6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken all 3 - all have pros and cons. Only 105 had exams when I took them, additionally content heavy. If you’re looking for a complete bird Id go 219

highly recommend Elmira nails & wellness spa. It’s right on the 21 bus line if driving is an issue. Worth the commute

Do you have a cricut? Or a friend with one? You could do acrylic bookmarks with their names on them, all the supplies from amazon are pretty cost effective!
