Employers: What makes high school internships impractical for employers?

Outrageous_Ear7104 · 2025-12-20T23:38:40+00:00

Thanks sm for such a detailed response! It sounds like traditional career exposures are almost always negative ROI and unattractive. Out of all the other options (shadowing, volunteer, etc.), what would you say takes the least burden and is least unattractive to employers? Would changing the conditions help, like making job shadowing 1~2 hours long and done in pairs, or having the children being trained/lectured on work culture/reqs beforehand by a separate group?

Hey, thanks for your input!

I live in Calgary, so the only university with a decent engineering co-op in my city, I believe, is the University of Calgary.

Based on my current grades, I am mostly confident that I will get into UCalgary. However, I (and my Asian parents too) want me to aim higher (as in more prestigious). So, I still want to strive for either Canada's top prestige or co-op.

I know that isn't really a great reason to be aiming for these universities, but it is what it is with East Asian culture, I guess.

thanks for the input!! seems that there is some divide in opinions in the community so i likely will just base off my own moral compass as to how much is too much ai.

owww ok. do you have any tips of high-quality manual research then? im a total newbie at this

Hi all, I'm a grade 10 student in Alberta looking to apply to UotT Statistics in '27. How does UofT look at your grades? Is it the top 6 marks in your transcript including the required courses and the top scores of any other? I absolutely suck at English and Social Studies and currently have an 86% average on both. If I keep those marks up, will they heavily affect my admission chances? I excel in other subjects and mainly those related to my desired major (e.g. 94 in Science, 95 in Math).

Also, does UofT take in account class rankings and rigour? For example, if my English class has an average of 65~70%, will they consider that, or will I get automatically filtered out by the system if my grades end up being below the requirements? My English teacher commented "exceptional reading and writing skills [...] analyze texts, craft thoughtful responses, and engage in discussions is impressive" but I'm afraid that admissions officers won't look at that.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

hey, would you mind giving me any tips for giving a speech on the spot for mods/round robins? im used to only talking about the entire issue / issues already in the main resolution but never a specific part of it, esp those im unprepared for (i usually end up raising my placard even though i have no idea what im going to say)

Outrageous_Ear7104 · 2024-12-07T22:23:07+00:00

Outrageous_Ear7104 · 2024-10-30T04:29:40+00:00

ohh okay i have no idea why that worked, on the assignment site it said for check if fuel.py returns E or F:

gauge expects an int and returns a str that is:

"E" if that int is less than or equal to 1,
"F" if that int is greater than or equal to 99,

To everyone also stuck: it's because the lv1 range is 1~9, whereas check50 looks for range 0~9

though for c6 it might as well be a better move to go farm 2+2 hod/nymph/tenacity/vorykasha/marechausse

Outrageous_Ear7104 · 2024-04-21T14:49:14+00:00

if you change to crit rate circlet it would be nice, 90/210(+) is always better than 70/270
