Are they worth going to

how do i get a waterloo cs man

Long story short I had some health issues, missed my final, and as a result, got switched over to Computer Science. Do you think it’s worth staying in just CS, or would transferring to another program be a better move?

LOL yall whoever put their parking ticket on my car today- thanks for the mini panic sesh. But jokes on you- I read the ticket and it wasnt for me, I brought it to parking services. 🙃 just pay the 35 dollar fee guy- like 👍 or at least put it on a car that matches the ticket...bc my Nissan is not a Kia.

I just found out that the brand of cheese popcorn that I usually like to buy has been discontinued and I’m really gonna miss it and I’m just wondering does anyone know of any good places where I can get cheddar cheese popcorn? I do not like the white cheddar kinds and I’m not a big fan of Smartfood. If anyone knows where I can get a brand of cheddar cheese popcorn for a good deal then I would like to know. Thanks!

I currently live in a very rural area working in Technical Productions at a Manufacturing Plant. The business is moving to Waterloo and has offered me to keep my position if I'm willing to relocate to Waterloo. I'm hoping to get some helpful resources to find housing. They've also acknowledged that my cost of living will likely increase significantly and that they are willing to raise my hourly wage to match the cost of living. I'm just not really sure what a reasonable wage would be. Currently make 25/hr and most of what I do is operating a collections of different machines. My current responsibilities include:

Creating digital cut files to be used on an oscillating knife CNC machine
Digitizing pattern templates into a 2D digital pattern file
Operating a large industrial 72" HP Printer
Creating Graphic design work in Adobe Illustrator for custom art work to then be printed/pressed in a Dye-Sublimation Fabric Press
Operate a clicker press to punch out fabrics with metal dies
Drive a company truck to pick up materials or deliver product
I also do regular maintenance on the CNC Cutter, Printer, and other equipment

When I look at similar jobs, I see a range between 50-120k depending on the job. 25/hr is pretty good for where I currently live, but I fear it will not be enough to cover my expenses moving to Waterloo.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to get in touch with anyone who has had negative experiences with Campmart. Please comment below. Thanks.

I'm taking Honours Physics, coop. I've only just started and I'm in my 1A term, but looking at the forecasted coop schedule, I'm seeing a LOT of electives, which is maybe in part the point of Honours Physics. I know it would be good to start thinking about a minor, but I have no idea what I am interested in. It seems like something I should wait on, like I take my classes for a bit and look for something special that interests me, but at the same time I've already got an elective in my 1B term and course registration is next week. I don't want to waste the credit!

Regarding Physics, the area I like the most is kinematics, motion, and forces, which there are no relevant minors for. If anything, those would have more to do with Engineering, which offers no minors. I'm taking Earth 121 and it's lab component currently, and intend to take the 122 stuff next term. I like it enough, and the Earth Sciences minor has those as a requirement. I like math as well, and a Computing minor could definitely be useful.

I guess, my point is that I have a lot of electives and could minor in something. Is there a reason not to, and how soon should I start worrying about catering my courses towards it? I feel like I have a good opportunity to minor in something and don't want to waste it!

(Also, are there grade/major requirements for specific minors? I'm not totally sure I understand how the "Invalid Credential Combinations" works. Obviously I can't major and minor in Physics, but is there much else to worry about?)

Hi guys!! Does anyone have a textbook or question bank for AFM 131. Please let me know where can I find!

Thanks

Has anyone taken this course before, I really need one and I'm wondering if anyone has taken it before online?

Excuse my ignorance (mature student here)… but I see lots of people using a tablet with a “pen” to take notes what seems like directly on the pdf. Slides the prof provides. Is this accurate? Can you take notes directly on downloaded slides and then save the file to review later? Is this the iPad Pro? Any helpful tips would be appreciated. I typically don’t take any notes in class which is a pain when the prof’s leave out info from their slides. I’ve historically relied purely on listening to the prof and review of textbook material to get me by but I want to make sure I’m using all the tools I have at my disposal to be successful (especially for math lol). Thanks ahead of time 🙏🏻

My BU288 midterm is coming up, how should I prepare and what are exam questions like? Is it a lot of application or is it identifying, etc. I am wanting to do well especially being the first exam of the year but don’t know how to go about studying.

Why park like that when you’re going in.

I've been thinking about registering in a couple of classes before the deadline to register for classes for the fall term (which is today). Would this be a good idea? Is it possible to be caught up on everything?

When the hell this university is gonna take some fixing the creaky seats in every classroom in every building on campus?

With Halloween fast approaching, I'm looking to create a video series of local ghost/paranormal stories. Anything in Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge or local townships. Give me your best stories! If there is some supportive evidence that'd be ideal but I also would love some far fetched stories!

Here are some that I've already done videos on

-Homer-watson house

-Local Seances

-Galt Collegiate

Said something about equal pay

So is someone gonna organize one of these contests at UW or...

I am new ECE engineering student, which club is related to my academic?thanks

Times are tough I guess, but the owner caught her and she's headed up duke towards Victoria seemingly looking for more to steal, so if you're on her warpath might wanna bring in your porch packages and lock up your kids.

Hey everyone!!

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a coffee shop that is great for getting some work done?

Thanks !!

Where do you guys find interesting events in town? Any solid attempts to centralize this?

I mostly check wusa, engsoc websites, discord servers for clubs, random flyers, word of mouth.. but even then that's just so inefficient/incomplete. If we had some sort of a common board where any1 could put stuff up (of course with filters and some smart scraping), I think it could help ppl hate this place less or at least go out more/better :3

.. could also be a neat project for y'all grinders builders, and I would personally get you a lazeez w 10 lines or a referral to the bay or sumn mb idk..

Edit: formatting

Got a point deducted bc I sent an illness declaration just to be safe bc I read the syllabus 3 times (psych 101), couldn’t find a single word of (control F) “attendance,” “illness,” “sick,” “voluntary attendance.” So I thought I should still be safe, cuz we have in class grading.

Received an email back with my prof saying “it concerns me that you emailed me (I didn’t know illness declarations were direct emails ngl) because the policy is in the syllabus! This tells me you’re not familiar with the course material. Cheers!”

So I went back and read the syllabus a good 6 times, sent it to my friend, she read it 4 times, none of us could find a single word of “attendance.” Not a single “attendance” in the syllabus. And then I got my mark deducted from “student responsibility.”

What the hell. Why am I being rage baited. Do I even argue ts….

More often than not, i see that uwaterloo students (except freshmen), don't even want to share their class notes with their peers. I understand it's competitive out here and no one owes anyone to provide assistance, but that's such an uncool behavior and totally not how engineers are supposed to act at their job (after graduation).

The University of Waterloo Stand-up Comedy club is having our first open mic on Thursday September 25th at 7Pm at the SLC Bomber! RSVP here to attend: tally.so/r/n9oVPQ If you wish to perform send a message on Instagram (uwcomedy) or just show up!

I feel like this is a dumb question, but to anyone who did their bachelors and masters at Waterloo, did you find a difference between the process as an undergrad vs a grad student?

I am somewhat familiar with the coop program here but I am not enrolled, so if there’s any stark differences, I’d love to know more before applying!

Can you accept an external return offer for a job that you also found externally, and continue applying to jobs on WaterlooWorks to keep my options open? Will there be punishments if I renege?

It’s currently club recruitment season for freshmen, and I applied to WPC. But since it’s known to be super competitive, honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll get in.

How hard is it for 1A students to get into WPC? And if I don’t make it, does that mean it’ll be difficult to break into high finance later on?

I was locked out of my car and it was late. The only place to pick up my phone was KW LOCKOUT. I told the guy I would post on Reddit and he had no clue what it was lol but crazy nice guy who unlocked my door in 10 min and charged way less than I thought. Saved my night.

I'm planning to take both of these courses next term, but I've heard they are notoriously difficult to pass. I'm not really good with counting in general, so do you guys have tips for how I can pass these courses or start preparing for them?

I graduated with BBA Fin math double degree + co-op 11.3 GPA back in May and still haven’t found anything, there are almost no entry level jobs on LinkedIn as of September, I’ve applied to over 150 places and had a few interviews but no luck yet. Also almost everyone in my graduating class has a job now.

Did I just not apply enough?

Yall tomorrow is the last day to choose a course and I CANT FIND ANY. please recommend some easy bird courses, preferably online, for first year. but so far each course I was recommend is either full of there's time conflicts with my other courses.

Ps. Don't say em110 or uu100 cause I already tried.

Can anyone explain how the tickets to the parade work? I bought "seats" but the email doesn't have any information about where to go or how it works...

Also, please avoid responding with "it's not worth it / the parade sucks". I'm really more interested in the logistics of how it works as I'll have kids with me and thought that purchasing seats in the bleachers would help keep everyone happy. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I recently lost my wallet today on a Grand River bus I believe it was bus #12. Please let me know if someone’s seen i I have some important stuff in there :(. It’s pink with a silver zipper.

edit - I got my wallet back! thank you so so so much to whoever gave it in I really appreciate it 😊😊😊

Hey everyone,

I left my bag at a bench outside RCH because I had to take an emergency call and didn't want to do it with a heavy bag on my back. Plus I had to do the call in a quiet place. So I literally left the backpack and ran inside to call. (Bad decision in hindsight, but can't change it now....) However, after my 20 minute call, I came outside to see that it was gone.

Description of the bag: Swiss Gear black with silver stripes, red logo, scratched backrest padding

Contents of the bag: dark grey HP Omen 15 inch laptop with stickers covering 70% of front, $10 cash (if you stole it keep the cash, I won't report you, and if you seriously need financial help I can help even though I'm not doing well myself tbh), some bookmarks, pens, eraser, with the small top compartment containing nail clippers

Please DM me if you know the whereabouts! No questions asked if returned to me directly

Hi guys I’m from UW and I saw that there is a poster sale at LH. Does anyone know if they still gonna be there tomorrow, and if yes, when do they close in the afternoon?

My chest freezer got stolen only 8 minutes after delivery. It's been a few weeks and I got my refund from Best Buy already. Filed a police report, but they didn't seem to care.

Does anyone know of any codes or anything for the Oktoberfest tickets? In previously years there have been links for free tickets floating around on Reddit
