is there a chance that winter 2021 might be offered online with in person classes being optional?

And by smart I mean it should have nfc and a qr code in it. I found a slick one online but expensive and it's from America..so maybe import fees and the USPS is kinda all screwed up at the moment. I'd rather support local but I know that's kinda a niche.

Just wrote like one paragraph for each question and handed this shit in. don't care anymore fuck this class....

just had to rant

I've read the website and it says slc is open on from 9-4 but, I need to know if it will be open on Monday or any time before fall term, either slc or dc. if anyone knows please tell me thanks!

WHAT WAS THAT??? I know y'all know which question I'm talking about. Worth a quarter of the entire exam??? Clearly just a grade-killer because our assignment average was too high. It just feels unfair when they pull stunts like this on us.

'm a CS undergrad student, I'm wondering if pursuing a Masters degree in CS is a significant advantage?

I know that in other fields of study, getting a Masters makes you set for a golden career, but for CS is that the case?I don't have any interest in doing research, but I would like to strengthen my knowledge.

If not a CS, I would consider an MBA, but then again I'm considering if it's "worth" putting 2 extra years to study it instead of full time work experience

I was going to do one of the FAST PGC this Fall but COVID-19 kinda nixed that. I was really looking forward to the lab components of all this. Nobody knows right? This time next year, maybe?

Friend of mine got tested Tuesday morning, still hasn't received any results online. Just curious if she can expect to see anything updated over the weekend.

The term is over!! (For the half of us in school I guess)

Congratulations everyone you made it! It's the end of another term.

Regardless of how you did this term I just want you to know I'm really proud of you. Some of you probably found this term nicer than normal because it let you learn the content on your own time. And some of you might have found it really challenging for the same reasons.

Some of you that enjoy spending the time on campus or around it because you have more freedom, and your mental health is better were also deprived of that this term.

It was an experience for all of us. But we all made it through for better or for worse. And that's a really big achievement.

While we wait for marks to come out, just remember it's ok if you didn't do well. It was exceptional circumstances. Give yourself the credit you deserve, and the kindness and grace you deserve.

Enjoy your summer and your weekend everyone

I love you ❤️

Pizza hut clearly was not ready for Elmira's obsession with a new restaurant location. My wife just called there and has been informed that they ran out of pizza tonight. This is incredible and hilarious.

Hey all I too have read the recent issues regarding UW Raise and would like to email my concerns as their conduct is not how I would like my fees being spent, what email should I email to and how should I address my concerns without sounding like a dick? Thx

As everyone has heard, car explosion at the courthouse with one person now dead. And WRPS is saying it's linked to a suspected IED.

Should we actually abolish the police what would we do in situations like this? Best send a social worker to de-escalate the bomb?

wondering how fast they are with that

Fuck the lectures. Fuck the assignments. Fuck Nayak. Fuck this final. Fuck the entire class.

Edit: just submitted the final, praying for a curve. FUCK YOU NEVER HAVE TO SEE THIS SHIT AGAIN IN MY LIFE THANKS FOR SINGLE HANDEDLY MAKING MY SUMMER EXTREMELY STRESSFUL.

What's going on today? It stinks

I am starting the program in Sep 2020. Anyone in this intake? Any comments from past graduates? Every little bit counts. Thanks 🙏🏿

We can see the news fatigue wearing on r/uwaterloo and rightfully so. We've been asked to move this conversation for those who are interested on another platform. Speaking out against RAISE will have them automatically label us as "racists", so the need to preserve anonymity is crucial.

If you are against RAISE in good faith - that is, apolitical and are troubled by their behaviour regarding this backlash and/or their bad faith arguments/mischaracterization of the defund RAISE movement - I would ask that you contact me and we can collectively create a coherent platform and formally address this to WUSA. I encourage all like-minded individuals who are for this cause to join the conversation. I propose we speak on Discord to begin with, unless there is a suitable platform you could suggest.

TL;DR no more RAISE talk on r/uwaterloo?

Quick info:

What is RAISE?

RAISE is a WUSA student "service" and there is a fee associated with it. It is an initiative to promote racial equity and fight racism. It cannot be opted out of.

Recently at a WUSA meeting there was a vote on whether WUSA should publicly support defunding the police, or as RAISE stated in the meeting, "abolishing the police". They bullied/shamed/strong-armed councillors to passing this motion by calling them racist and/or other comments shaming them. The final vote was 14 for, 12 abstain, but it is telling when half of the votes are to abstain. I must add that WUSA represents the entirety of the undergraduate population, not just BIPOC, and they should be apolitical.

Recently, they've been using bad-faith arguments such as dissent being "racism", "violent", or "ableist" and have gone out of their way to doxx and/or witch hunt u/defundRAISE.

What are the stances of the defund RAISE movement?

We should have the option to opt out if we feel we are not represented by RAISE or don't condone their behaviour.

We should not condone their recent conduct and ask for a restructuring of RAISE.

This is apolitical and continues to be so. It is not an attack on race, it is an attack on the behaviour and the inequality of RAISE representation.

This term has been real bad. I thought online courses meant no travel time and maximized studying. Alas, I was met with naught but new distractions and less productivity than ever before.

Does anybody else feel they dropped the ball big time this term?

Can someone tell me why their kimchi pancake is a whole 18 bucks? Is it like a whole stack of pancakes or just one? Im in waterloo rn until tomorrow but i dont have kitchen access, and i just wanna know if it's worth it to buy (based on sheer volume of pancakes). If it's just one i wont and ill just get something else, but if its a stack i will.

DM me pls, I'm trying to figure it out

Proof

That is all

I'm a UW student visiting Waterloo this Sunday, but I just realized that my WatCard will obviously not work anymore. I'll be coming in on the 25 and will get off at Dana Porter. Where's the closest place I can get an EasyGo fare card/tickets for the bus?

I heard SLC might start selling them soon but I'm not sure. Do the ION stations have a place to buy GRT tickets/EasyGo Fare Card?

We’ve been to Pinery and just wondering where else is good?

Finals man, what the fuck was that

Asking for friend. In need of a femboy to fulfill her needs.

Criteria: She needs you in a tennis skirt 24/7.

What is the difference between these two? They are interchangeable as prerequisites for upper year level courses, but then they are antirequisites to each other. Is one more advanced than the other? Would it be a waste if I take both this Fall?

Like I know u have the grades for the auto-marking final I just took buddy

How was the exam?

Looking at storage options for the fall term. I haven't seen any recent posts about this, does anyone have any comments or advice about this service? Is it worth it or should I just get a storage unit?

Has CECA released any details if it will allow and accept students to take remote coop offers in the US? (i.e CECA will count it as a valid coop experience or CECA will invalidate it like it did in Summer 2020)

Police have confirmed someone has died, currently cops with bomb disposal gear are working there.

Hi everyone,

I was getting the oil changed today on my 2011 Toyota Corolla (1.8 L) and as it turns out, the radiator is leaking and needs to be replaced. Would you happen to know a good, reasonably-priced place in town that does radiator replacements and how much they would charge, approximately?

Heffner Toyota has said it would be around $490 or something like that, and Speedy has said it would be around $500, but the guy said he'd probably have to take a look at it. Is this generally the going rate for rad replacements?

Thanks so much!

Why are exam results taking forever to get out for multiple choice format? Are the profs/TAs just sitting and watching everyone video one at a time and so that's what's taking a long time?
