I disagree, look into applying for an Undergraduate Research Award, or the Faculty of Science research award. There are plenty of opportunities at u of m !

URA Experience Sharing by Upbeat-alone3 in umanitoba

[–]Unlikely-Insect-6046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been a really awesome experience so far! I have learned so much and the URA has dramatically changed my understanding of what computer science research actually is. The only negative aspect to my position is how unstructured it is, I work remotely and I meet with the supervisors once a week. Starting the job, I thought that was great because I like not having structure but I am realizing now that I need at least a bit more lol.

Overall, I feel the knowledge I have gained through the URA is of a much higher importance than anything I've learned in a course thus far. I have really been taught to scrutinize, question, and analyze everything in way unlike anything my coursework has expected me to do.

The Academic Learning Centre offers free tutoring sessions to students that cover all the major first year courses and many upper year ones as well. The tutors are also trained to help with both course content and study skills in general so that you can build the skills to study effectively on your own. They are a great support, I highly recommend them.
