Software Developer or Web Developer?
What's the difference between these roles? Do software developers just deal with non web stuff? Is there a difference of career opportunities/pay?

submitted by /u/negha01Hello! I am running to represent Math students on WUSA Students' Council.
As a MathSoc Councillor, I have advocated for fiscally responsible and sustainable investment practices, reforms to STAT 231, and a ban on online proctoring spyware. As a result of this:
I have been successful advocating for students on MathSoc Council, and hope to take that same energy to WUSA Council to fight for math students in order to:

submitted by /u/theNthAltDoes anyone have any typed notes for re 103?
submitted by /u/slickmoney33Just wondering, because it looks like most companies haven’t rejected me, but didn’t select me for an interview either.
Also, the scheduling thing is confusing. There’s one company that selected me for an interview 5 days ago but still didn’t schedule it yet. Is this normal?
submitted by /u/madddog__aI am doing IB and I’m pretty confident I can reach the minimum requirements, but I'm pretty sure the typical offer range would be much higher. Can anyone please provide the accurate number of the typical offer range and are there extracurricular activities or exams that I should take to increase the chance?
submitted by /u/Affectionate_Bat9693I'm in my first year in chem eng and I'm still looking for a co-OP job for the winter term. I had been shooting applications with hopes of getting a job like a child asking his mother to go to the bathroom in the middle of her sister's piano rehearsal: hopeless.
That was until last week I got lucky enough to get selected for 3 interviews. I thought to myself "surely one of these must land". And as you would expect I was studying for these interviews like a madman, I didn't give a shit, I learned audocad 3d in 2 days, I learned chemical procedures to decontaminate the soil and I learned about emails and stuff.
I walked into those interviews and answered their questions like a true prodigy, I could see them trying to drown their feelings of ecstasy as I answered every question perfectly beyond their expectations.
The day of rankings arrives, I'm feeling good about myself. I opwn my emails and it's empty. I thought that was a little weird. I felt good enough about myself that I called one of the companies to ask them if the position had been filled. Turns out some upper year who had already gotten the same job last year decided to call them at the last moment which saves the company the need to train a new employee.
I was speechless. The man I spoke with was the man who interviewed me. He not only congratulated me on being a great candidate even with such little work experience but I also received an email from hr telling me of the wonders that this man spoke of me. I felt betrayed by my best friend
Sadly, the other two companies didn't work out either. One of them had a similar situation with another guy who apparently has experience with working on sending emails as I do not and the autocad job didn't even answer me. The only thing that could make this worse was an email from waterloo works telling me to consider other options for my work term like not getting a job and giving up. They truly know how to make people feel supported :)
Based in a true story.
Don't feel too bad, I got another interview with one of the previous companies, I will update if I get it
Stay strong boys
submitted by /u/MaxFreudenthaleri’m on co-op right now, first month was a breeze in the sense that i barely had any work assigned to me. now, i’m about to start working on a project and i just feel useless. i ask so many questions and i feel like my supervisor is gonna think i’m a dumbass lmao. i’m super anxious all the time.

submitted by /u/hockeyboythrowaway13Anyone else kind of frustrated with how their first year is going? Being completely virtual and not getting that res experience is tough, and kind of just wondering how other ppl are feeling.
submitted by /u/Late_Ad5619I need some advice.
Someone in my family worked in a factory that is deemed an essential service. One of their co-workers is openly defying the Public Health guidelines and attending services at Trinity Bible Chapel. This person was recently exposed to someone with COVID and was tested, but returned to work after having a clean test. They still keep attending these services.
My family member has brought their concerns to their plant manager and has been told that they can not do anything, as they have a clean test, and can not control what someone does on their own time.
My family member is in a high-risk category and has to work closely with this person. He and his co-workers are considering walking off the job until something is done about this person, but they are worried about losing their jobs, with cause, and not qualifying for EI.
Does anyone have any advice?
submitted by /u/Brenden105Does tution for CS double after first year and does that doubling stay for the rest of the years?
Does any other program double after first year at UW?
submitted by /u/mr_ketchuppIs CS 664 / 764 computational complexity no longer being offered?
submitted by /u/standardtrickyness1Personally i find subtitles helpful, i also have one of those minds that processes written words better that auditory words. I have friends with auditory processing issues or who are ESL (english second language) that also agree, so would having the option of subtitles be helpful in lectures?

submitted by /u/throwaway203wi4yProbably a stupid question but I don't want to be a pain in the ass at the store :-)
I need some wide lumber that only comes in lengths that don't fit in my car. Ordinarily I would ask for a convenience cut in the store but clearly that's not happening since everything is curbside. Is cutting lumber in the parking lot acceptable? Do they care about the mess at all?

I'm considering a home near this railway track - do you know if it's going to be noisy?
In particular, does it produce some "warning sounds" when a train is approaching?
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to observe any trains transiting and I don't know what level of discomfort to expect
submitted by /u/phill_docHi everyone, Does anyone know if coop students in Canada is covered by WUSA health plans? I tried to call them but they never answer...
Thanks!
submitted by /u/nklszelkiHi, so I'm new to the area and redoing my home office and I'm looking to get a table top done for my workstation desk. Can anyone recommend a good furniture place or local carpenter that could make me one?
submitted by /u/pnova7any advice on brainstorming ideas//mapping or planning out report ?
submitted by /u/lilkuntryyI am currently in my 2B term in the science faculty and am taking 5 courses. On a normal year this would be fine, but currently with with all of this online mess I am finding my self to be mentally struggling. I am finding my self to be burnt out at the end of every day, with little motivation. I am considering on dropping 1 course which I would make up for in the spring to even out the work load (thus focusing on each course more and boost up my grades), giving me some extra time to learn other things that I find interest outside of school. This would also give me the opportunity to get a part-time job and work low hours. I am wondering if dropping a course is even a good idea, or should I just push through it and get it over with??

submitted by /u/StSageI dropped BBA from DD to single degree CS just last month because I couldn't get a first co-op (with Laurier board). I still haven't gotten a single interview for Summer 2021 after 200 apps, and what rubs even more salt is seeing people getting job offers for the same things I applied for days ago. I don't know what's going wrong. I've already gotten my resume checked by students and industry workers alike, have side projects, hackathon, startup experience, etc. Am I just unlucky?
submitted by /u/Chinese_MandemI will need to take calc and physics (I have never taken either, not even in high school). If I take phys 111 and math 104 what do you guys think my marks will be like? I don’t think I’m the best at math tbh, but what are y’all experiences with those courses?
submitted by /u/ItsLit1719Can we do a double specialisation in BBA??
submitted by /u/SeattleinCanadaHas anyone done CS 349 during a coop term (during covid)?
Was it manageable? Do you feel like you could have done another chill CS/elective course with it?
submitted by /u/wawsacaalThis is the textbook I need. Can someone please make it publicly available?
submitted by /u/Rubin82I know this has probably been answered before but I just wanted to make sure. Where Waterloo calculates your admission average do they only use the required courses? The reason I am asking is because my marks in English, calculus and pre-calculus are all above 97%, but my chem mark is at 92%. Will they be using the chem mark even though it's not in the requirements? Btw these are all grade 12 marks.
