Are YOU a STUDENT that has or is taking a math course? Do you wish your notes were beautiful, legible, and fast to make? Are you sick and tired of your friends calling themselves better than you just because they use LaTeX?

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO HARD! Help us help you! Fill out this SUPER SHORT, NINE QUESTION, NO LONG ANSWER SURVEY: forms.gle/ZnvXKUVK5wiKp4L17

This survey is to help a Software Engineering capstone group analyze and address a problem! Please consider filling it out, it would mean a lot.

One of the staff members who worked at the Turnkey desk (Initials AL) told me personally that he used to steal lost and found items and also the food aid that was supposed to be given to students in need. This dude has also been accused of being a dogshit human being multiple times by multiple people as well. Curious to know if someone has a similar story to tell

I am curious what is the general application process for the conference. And how long is the process(timeline appreciated). And any other info about the conference is also appreciated! Ty!

I got matched with a fully remote job for the winter and I was wondering if the university has any facilities where I can work on campus a few days a week?

I live close to the university and I just want to avoid getting stuck in the trap of never leaving my house lol. Preferably somewhere where I’d have access to a monitor?

Let me know if anyone has experience with this!

Hey everyone, I moved to kitchener around this time last year. I came from Cambridge and had a mechanic I went to for years before I moved. They were fantastic and were very easy to work with, not to mention they were leagues above most places for the work they did and how quick they got stuff done.

Now that im in kitchener, ive been to a few places and havent been thoroughly impressed. Im looking for recommendations on places to have vehicle work done.

Biggest key component for me is being able to supply my own parts. I work for a big auto parts distributor and only pay cost so I like being able to save money and purchase things specific to what I want.

If anybody here has a shop they recommend and let's the customer supply their own parts, please let me know.

And yes, I already know most shops dont let customers do this because they lose out on making customers pay retail for parts, the parts the customers bring aren't warrantied by the shop, and because if the wrong part is supplied then it holds the shop and customer up. Ive been supplying my own parts for over 5 years and havent had issues for the exception of a few hiccups which were quickly resovled.

Renting a car, I love to drive and star gaze. Any options in Cambridge?

hi! I was wondering if anyone knew how to study for the cs135 midterm since the practice midterms dont rly have the same concepts we learned this sem

Did you attend? If not, checkout this video I made. Open to criticism.

Hey friends,

Perhaps a silly question but what's happening at city hall currently? Noticed a bunch of people gathered there. Is it a protest?

There has been steady increase in traffic on Highway 8 and 401 East towards Mississauga, particularly morning rush hour around 7 am.

As the traffic spike happened in September, first I thought it is related to schools being open and everyone back to work. Some offices are asking employees to come on site at least four days a week and could be a contributing factor but that is still in transition phase. The provincial mandate for coming into the office four or five days a week is only from January 5, 2026.

What are some of the other reasons causing this spike in traffic?

i am taking CO342 this term with Professor P. Haxell. While the lecture is engaging, the course is interesting, and we only have 2 questions each assignment, I got cooked. Any suggestions?

I am kind of struggling with those two courses, will the midterm be hard as the tutorials are? no clue how I'll pass 😭

Just had one of those driveway scammers at my door again. Warning for everyone! This is in Galt in the Delta area.

It's the usual Irish guy who comes to the door and says they have some extra asphalt from a project around the corner.

This time they're using the name "TEMS PAVING" who (apparently) are "Your Trusted Paving Specialists".

The only thing they're good at, is ripping people off with their scam (and cold useless asphalt...).

Be warned.

Snapped this terrible photo this morning (of only one). Surely someone can get a better one. There are two and this is the second time this week I've seen them in the same tree. Thought it was cool that we have them right in the city like this.

Anyone know why the location is temporarily closed? Went there a few years ago and it was fine but subsequent visits were terrible. Food was less fresh and upcharges on simple swaps which was not the case before put me off even more. I switched to the other location near Pioneer.

Just moved here super out of the blue (ended my long term relationship and staying with a coworker for now). Anyone have any recommendations for a cheap studio or 1-bed apartment?

Ideally under 1500 and needs parking (or parking lot nearby that i can pay for)

Can be waterloo, guelph, kitchener? cambridge, etc. Not picky as I WFH most days with the occasional in office day in waterloo

Found this cat walking around during very busy school drop off time. Almost got hit by a car so I lured it away from the street for as long as I could. Very clean and no tags on it which makes me think it’s not an outdoors cat.

Couldn’t keep it contained as I have cats of my own inside. Putting this out there in case someone is missing a very cute and lovable little kitty.

Anyone working at S&C Electrical in Etobicoke for upcoming 2026 Winter? Looking for room mate

I have to be in Orangeville by 8 a.m. tomorrow. Is morning traffic usually bad?

So i trasnfered in 4 weeks after I started and got 0 in 2 quizzess ( i can drop one, but that means im down 3%) as I had one the day after i transfered. I've been having a hard time completing this course without any lectures, especially while preparing for my midterms (I had three before reading week). Now my midterm is in a week and i'm so lost.

SHould I drop this course? If i do I would need to take MATH 137 next semester, and MATH 138 in the summer.

Edit: and will this affect my future work? As im targeting high finance

After nearly five weeks on the picket lines, Ontario’s college support staff have reached a tentative three-year agreement with their employer.

This deal comes after months of difficult negotiations and strong solidarity from workers across all 24 Ontario colleges.

Key highlights of the tentative agreement:

• Wage & Benefit Gains: $1.05/hour increase for all workers in year one.
• Job Security: Enhanced protections against technological changes and stronger contracting-out provisions.
• Worker Protections: New language defining bargaining unit work and improved re-skilling supports.
• Employment Rights: Extended recall rights and enhanced severance.
• Compensation Improvements: First increases to on-call rates since 2005 and to shift premiums since 2008.
• Inclusive Leave: Bereavement leave now includes chosen family.

This tentative agreement still requires ratification by the membership before it’s finalized.

At the end of September, my friend and I signed an Application to Lease with a realtor for an apartment and paid the last month’s rent as part of the application process while waiting for the landlord’s approval. We were recently approved and received the lease contract today, with the move-in date set for November 1st.

However, my friend has just been asked to relocate to another province for work, and unfortunately, I won’t be able to afford the apartment on my own. If we decide not to sign the lease and not move in, will we lose the payment we made, or is there any other option available to us?

Additionally, when we applied, the realtor informed us that Hydro was included in the rent. The landlord is now saying that Hydro is not included and must be paid separately.

Any recommendations?

Did not do as well as I could of, I got a 55 after studying for three days straight. My average is now a 68.8 in the course. I made some stupid mistakes and some questions I just couldn’t do, but is this recoverable? Am I still in somewhat good shape to pass?

hi! my math 137 midterm is next week and im a little lost on how to study in a structured way. can anyone give me some tips on how to do well on the midterm and if anyone has any extra resources, i would really appreciate it.

i cant find that many practice midterms online so anything will help :)

Hi all,

Please may you spam me with your lovely fall places for a photo shoot following a special event? 🙏🍂❤️ I know this fall hasn't been very autumn-y... If you also have nice scenic spots in the region with a lack of pedestrian foot traffic ideal for a photo shoot, please kindly let me know.

Thanks a ton!

Is it actually worth the price? I hate layering, so I’m thinking of getting it for this fall/winter… it’s kinda expensive don’t wanna waste my money 😫

Anyone know if we are supposed to base the KSF using the ones taught to us? Or instead finding your own industry specific key success factors, i.e. not based on employees, customers, product & services, etc

Hi everyone, can someone give me insight to how this midterm is? Please 🙏

I rented a basement apartment. It was my first rental experience in Canada, and I was looking for something affordable, and it suited me well. However, now, six months in, I'm confused about some situations and believe my basement is illegal and unsuitable. I only have one window besides the door, and this window is next to the entrance stairs and not in the bedroom (I had read that it needed to be in the bedroom). What bothers me most is that I don't have access to the thermostat, and the ventilation rarely turns on down here. Out of fear, I left the window open. Now, with the cold, I think that won't be possible. Is this normal? Would the ventilation really turn on if the oxygen down here was running out? Is it common for me to not have access to the temperature control?

The title says it. I don't know what to do and am wondering if I should drop out of the program or retake the course next semester. Comparing to my friends they all have good scores solid 70s and some a bit higher and I thought I'd be with them but no. Any advice from anyone else who experienced similar first sem math

Thanks ;)

It's been 4 years. I still seethe and shake at the thought. You truly let us down. An entire SLC cheering in unison. True school spirit, united by dong. I missed a lecture I got participation grades in for you. I gave up a piece of my gpa for you.

For shame. Never meet your heroes.

Hi all, really hoping someone can help me out here. I'm looking to locate the owner of a small beige dog, probably a pug or similar, that lives in the area near the corner of John and Dunbar near Belmont/Uptown in Waterloo.

My dog and I were walking today when we came across this dog off leash and unfortunately it must have been spooked because it starting attacking my dog while its owner was hurrying to grab it. Apparently it got out by accident. All seemed fine at the time but noticed as I was heading home that I had blood on my hands and a small injury had occurred.

Anyway not looking to get this dog in any trouble but want to locate it to ensure proper vaccinations. It seemed they lived in a house near the corner of Dunbar and John but honestly I was so frazzled I don't recall exactly what house and I tried driving back later but couldn't locate it.

Anyone know of the dog I'm talking about? I'm also 95% sure the dog only had one eye which is a HUGELY unique characteristic but I don't fully trust my brain at the moment....

Feel free to DM me to keep things private here. Again not looking to escalate, it was just an unfortunate situation

I got a 55% on my midterm and I’m worried that I’m going to fail my final and future quizzes.

I never understand what my prof teaches in class nor do they post anything on learn either.

If anyone who took math 135 who did bad but improved afterwards what did you implement and how did you study for the course? I feel so stupid in this course and have a hard time understanding the concepts
