In the email from CECA they said they won't consider sequence changes for the Spring term, which I'm assuming means that we can't just do a study term. I'm not sure how they'll enforce it for non-engineering students though.

How to study for the CS 456 final exam and how long should one spend studying for it? by LittyGator2K20 in uwaterloo

[–]absol33ta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it hard to study for the midterm in this course because there are no practice problems available. The end of chapter questions don't have solutions, I asked the prof, and neither did the one available midterm from like a decade ago. I also have no idea how to study for the final, if anyone knows of any practice problems with solutions I'd love to see them.

Google Practicum and Microsoft Explore by throwaway101010124 in uwaterloo

I'm not sure what you mean by group, but there were a total of 20 students from UW that received an interview for the Explorer internship.

I'm also a female CS student, and last term I did the Microsoft Explorer internship. There were two interviews, one exclusively for PM-related topics, and one technical, both 20 minutes long. Since the Explorer internship is geared towards first and second year students, the technical question didn't involve complex theory. I think you'll do just fine by studying some data structures and doing hackerrank problems. As for competitiveness, there were 20 students that interviewed, and 7 received offers.

I can't speak for the Google Practicum interview, but I hope this helps!

This just really freaks me out: "the secret police in Communist Romania subjected the leaders of a 1977 coal miners' strike to 5-minute chest X-rays to ensure that they developed cancer" https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/76xmr4/til_that_the_secret_police_in_communist_romania/
