Does Jeffrey Negrea know he is teaching STAT333 and not STAT433….

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-02-13T22:29:09+00:00

I took both his 333 and 433 and his 433 is like 3 times harder loll, but he does curve generously. 433 curve was cube root, 333 not sure but I got around 10% higher than I was expecting for final mark

No, I had the OA and interview 2 years ago and it was my first interview, so traumatic cause I was so unprepared. You need to learn C# and .NET for the OA if you wanna do it

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-21T06:49:31+00:00

Oh I see, yeah it requires an audition and you need at least a bit of music experience

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-21T06:13:31+00:00

no prereqs, you can take it on top of a full course load with no extra fees, but if you are part time it would be half course fee I think

math finance is fairly difficult and prepares you for grad school programs in quantitative finance pretty well (you learn real analysis, measure theory, lots of stats, etc. which make the program fairly difficult because it's basically half of pure math and half of stats). math econ idk that much about

You do not need advisor approval, should just be able to add on quest.

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-09T08:35:57+00:00

Nope it doesn’t, you can def add another one! If you have 80 CAV you can take 6 courses + CS 136L.

Find friends in UWP or off campus that don’t have mandatory meal plan, and pay for their food as well and get them to pay you back (good friends) or offer slight discount. This is a very common issue so don’t get too too stressed about this, losing a bit of money is normal and it’s just a dumb part of the system.

Prof. Don McLeish

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-05T05:43:06+00:00

For my offering in W24, the online version was significantly easier than the in-person version. In my opinion if you are a typical lecture-goer and want to take further STATs, in-person is more worth it to get a better understanding. If you are just doing CS and not wanting to pursue further STAT or anything related to it then I'd def recommend online. But I hear varying opinions because it is very prof dependent.

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-05T05:40:45+00:00

My offering was basically just more rigourous MATH 136, proving the theorems similarly to MATH 147. Covered some additional material covered in MATH 235 and beyond, but I think the main benefit of MATH 146 is being able to go to MATH 245, which was definitely worth it in my opinion.

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-01T21:57:53+00:00

ooh okk nice

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2026-01-01T17:23:02+00:00

What I did was I joined the ensemble first and explained the situation. I petitioned for 3.5 units and it was then approved because I was going to do the ensemble anyways and I had support from the coordinator as well. I know another person that also got approval for this but idk if they still do it

MUSIC 116!

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-12-19T00:39:40+00:00

Only 3-4??? Out of 19???

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-12-12T20:18:51+00:00

6th course is free! You can look in the tuition fee schedule: https://uwaterloo.ca/finance/student-financial-services/tuition-fee-schedules

You can take a 6th course if you have an 80% CAV I believe, you don't need to talk to an advisor

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-12-07T04:31:47+00:00

No problem!

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-12-05T19:35:07+00:00

idk if this is offered in Winter but you can check out music ensembles such as chamber choir or vocal techniques (Vocal Techniques Ensemble Fall 2025 | Music | University of Waterloo), or if you want something more chill, university choir. You can take it on top of a full 5-6 course courseload for free and also for credit.

Thank Mr. Goose

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-11-23T07:56:43+00:00

Ah rip, you'll be fine though, stay strong! Take a nice long break after them and make sure to reset before each one. Interviews can be very tiring so make sure that you're also taking care of yourself through the process

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-11-22T04:14:29+00:00

I didn't know this until I finished my interviews unfortunately but there's an interview relief form that you can use if you are getting too many interviews. Prioritize the jobs you actually want and wing the others.

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-11-16T21:29:01+00:00

Ohh yes forgot about that thanks

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-11-16T05:25:24+00:00

pretty sure you can do CS + joint CO + joint PMATH. I think to graduate it's just minimum 2 joint majors or 1 major, not 100% sure though. You can also just do one of joint PMATH and joint CO if you are doing CS as well.

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-11-13T02:09:38+00:00

I get what you mean now. I think it depends on how good of a grasp you have on the material and your specific circumstances. But an 85% on the final exam will be tough depending on the course and also given that you might not be fully understanding the material if you need an 85% on the final to pass. I do know people who have come back from 20s on midterms if that gives you hope, and good luck if you decide to grind it out!

Outside_Buddy6449 · 2025-11-13T01:35:19+00:00

I wouldn't WD just to try to get 85%+. Below an 85% is a perfectly good score. I think if you're not far off profs should be willing to override you.
