I really dislike calculus but it is need for my program. It isn't that I suck at doing it I can do it just find it super boring it seems like you doing for the sake of doing maths. This could just be first year problems but god I really hate doing calculus. It is very hard for me to get exicted about it

I have been trying to get my chromecast to connect with my laptop and iPhone through eduroam but have been able to. There seems to be something that causes remote access features to not work on eduroam. I tried using the app Remote Mouse with my laptop but that too I have been unable to connect to my computer. Is there a work around for this or is eduroam forever cursed?

I've noticed that when I use Netflix on campus (I'm connected to Eduroam), I can't find certain shows (The Office and Parks & Rec), even though I can watch these shows when I'm connected to any other network.

Hey guys, For those interested, EB in Fairview has copies of both MH4U and Majoras Mask, and the Walmart in Fairview has MM and the plain N3DS XLs. The superstore at highland hills didn't have anything at of 9 am today because their truck hadn't arrived. EB didn't seem to have any special edition N3DSs hanging around.

I know this question isn't directly related to the subreddit but since some people might have used the UW API I'll try my luck. I'm trying to access the UW API (in Python) but I'm not sure how to pass my API key. For example, to access the weather, I can just do: url = "https://api.uwaterloo.ca/v2/weather/current.json" resp = requests.get(url=url) data = json.loads(resp.text) pprint(data) since it doesn't need a API key. But when I try to pass a key for something that actually needs it such as accessing the terms list then I'm not sure how to pass the key as a parameter. url = "https://api.uwaterloo.ca/v2/terms/list.json" mykey = "SomeKey" resp = requests.get(url=url, key=mykey) data = json.loads(resp.text) pprint(data) gives me an error TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'key' I'm not sure why it's not recognizing the key argument since it's documented as a parameter under: https://github.com/uWaterloo/api-documentation/blob/master/v2/terms/list.md Any help would be appreciated :) Cheers

Hi, So I recently got accepted into the BMath regular (no coop) program at waterloo as a transfer student. I initially applied to the BCS coop program but received an alternate offer to Bmath non coop (couldn't get into coop because I'll receive more transfer credits than the 6.5 transfer credit limit for coop). I have a few questions regarding the program and would really appreciate it if anyone could provide me some insight: 1) Since I didn't get into coop, is it worth going to waterloo just for the brand name? 2) How difficult will it be for me to find coop jobs on my own? Especially in the bay area. Do I even have a shot at landing a job in companies like Google/microsoft/facebook/apple/Amazon or even at start up companies in the bay area? Will the fact that I go to waterloo help me at all? 3) Will CECA set me up with a job if I seek their help or will they refuse to help me just because I am not in coop? 4) I was told that I would need a 70+ average in CS135 and CS136 in oder to transfer to BCS regular program from bmath. Reading through the CS135 and CS136 course websites and assignments, I feel like I can maintain a 70+ but then again, I might be underestimating the difficulty level of the two courses. How difficult is to maintain a 70+ in CS135 and CS136? Thank you.

So my friends and I thought this was gonna be a easy and chill course to take as our technical elective. So far the course isnt too bad, but boy oh boy do the prof and TA suck. Prof (Benny Mantin) is so fidgety in class, and has these bunch of rules like no sleeping, no using phones, etc. I mean cmon, if I am not disturbing the class why do you care. And the TA, Khaleel Rahman, is possibly the worst TA I have yet had at UW. He literally doesnt know any of the material before the tutorial. We have complained to the profs about this and nothing has been done yet. I have also heard the TA talk about this to someone, saying that he knows he sucks, but he doesnt care about it. I wouldnt recommend this course to others.

If you've ever been to this Burger King, you've probably seen how poor and slow the service is. For example, this one night I was there, I waited 22 minutes for a 10 piece chicken nugget order. 22 minutes is unacceptable for a place which deems itself "Fast-food". The employees play soccer with the chicken nuggets on the ground and show 0 effort in their jobs. I've also heard the employees talking about smoking weed in the kitchen and other horrible stuff. The supervisors talk about how hungover they were last night. There's so many things wrong with this Burger King...

I want to preface this post by apologizing - I know this subreddit gets a lot of posts like these, but I would sincerely appreciate your input and advice. I have applied to both U of T and Waterloo (no co-op) for math. My plan is to pursue graduate studies after my undergrad. I'm stuck at a sort of crossroads and I'm hoping your insight might help. What made you choose Waterloo math? Why do you think Waterloo math superior/inferior to other universities? Would grad schools look more favourably on a Waterloo degree rather than a degree from U of T? Are you happy with your decision to attend Waterloo? Why? I am aware that both universities are difficult institutions, and I am willing to put in effort and attention to my studies. Thanks a lot!

I think that an election that are not composed of at least half of the total potential voters should be considered valid. How can the FEDS president be elected with only 5% of the votes? You might say "well people aren't interested in FEDS so that's what you get for not voting" Well, no. People don't vote because FEDS is useless along with everyone on it. The current FEDS people clearly cannot claim to represent the student body when 95% of students don't even care to vote for these people. the 5% of people who voted are people who are overly obsessed with FEDS and their friends who voted because why not. I think that if FEDS elections do not reach a minimum voting turn out then there should simply be no FEDS for that year or a re-election. Am I crazy here to think that a no vote on the election is a vote towards "This system doesn't work, and I don't want to take part in it" **EDIT**: Would anyone be interested in assisting me with starting a petition to FEDS for a re-election? I am not entirely sure of what is a legitimate method to start such a petition.

This might be stereotyping, but personally I've found that most people I've met in the Waterloo area are on the extreme sides of the spectrum from "party generation lunatic" to "total dork". I mean, I have nothing against the people that would fall into those categories; it's just that I'd hardly describe myself as being big into parties, but I'm not interested in video games and comics enough to describe myself as a nerdy guy. I'd say I'm somewhere in between, which I suppose is a little vague, but it's the best way I can think of right now. Due to this, I'm having some trouble finding people to hang out with recently. It feels like most of the people I meet here are "work friends"; I can socialize easy, but nobody I'd really want to hang out with outside of school. I've had a bit of luck recently when I joined the outers club and started hanging around the bouldering wall, but I'm definitely looking for some more places to go. Any suggestions?

It looks nice from both inside and outside, but one of the rooms had hydro broken recently and the tenants seemed pretty upset about it. Has Domus been responsive to reports like this in the past? Although the suites are above satisfactory, we are quite skeptical about the management, seeings as how they are infamous for poor quality in handling things.

This is my first time doing the CCC and I don't know how to read/write files in java (I'm learning it right now). I've looked around the web, and there was one comment on Prof. Anderson's blog which asked this question. Professor Anderson said *"I think that participating in the senior competition would be more impressive, even if the result isn't as high."* The problem is that I don't know how to read and write files so I probably would not get any of the questions. Should I still participate in senior, or would it be better doing junior? I believe you are also allowed to bring in a printout/sheet for reference. What would you recommend I put on it?

Hey fellow uw redditors. I've recently become interested in rowing, and was looking to join the university's rowing team, only to realize we don't have one. Looking more into the matter, I found out, that according to the OUA (http://oua.ca/sports/rowing/structure), neither UW or Laurier has a varsity rowing team.. There are 14 schools who currently have rowing teams, including U of T, Western, and Guelph. So, would adding one more team resulting in an odd number of teams not be viable? Would another school also have to start a team for it to work? I also looked into rowing clubs, which were a part of the university, and i found this thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/comments/10jmwa/uwaterloo_rowing_anyone_interested/) which is 2 years old and essentially died out. So, if a group of committed students wanted to start a varsity rowing team, how would they go about doing it? Is it even possible? and if so, whom would we have to contact?

Hello /r/uwaterloo! I am considering switching into physics (from ECE 1A). I've already contacted my academic advisor but I thought I'd see what you guys think anyway....One thing that worries me is the labs (I was never very good at them in high school...performing the experiment anyway). Are they similar to ECE140 labs in that we would have all of our materials at a workstation? And are we given a reasonable amount of time to complete them? I've also been considering Mathematical Physics..Can anyone tell me more about what the courses are like compared to Physics? Lastly, it's not super important but I am curious, what's the workload like for physics compared to ECE? ( for first year at least... I want something that is of similar workload to ECE ) Thanks!

So, I'll be taking an academic spring term this year. These are my courses so far: Biol 241/241L: Applied Microbiology + associated lab Biol 273: Human Physiology Chem 237/237L: Biochem + lab CS 115: Computer science I My dilemma basically: Option 1: Not sure if I should take a 5th course, risking an unlucky exam schedule since the spring examination period is pretty short. My 5th course would either be linear algebra or idk... something easy? Any suggestions? I would like to take linear algebra but my concern is that my course load is already pretty heavy and I dont want to be struggling in any courses. Option 2: Stick with 4 courses and TA a biology lab. So I would at least be making money and I wont have to worry about a 5th course. I am kinda leaning towards option 2. With fewer courses I could go out for bike rides and enjoy the weather, I always hear the spring term is nice. I'll have more time for my main courses. What do you guys think? Similar problems? I feel like there aren't many good courses to pick from for the spring, if you think I'm wrong then suggest some please haha

I am considering taking 6 courses per term since I want to finish school on time while having a minor in the field my interest lies. Is there a requirement to take 6 courses per term in terms of cumulative average? Mine is below 80... Can anyone share their experience of taking 6 courses? how hard is it? Most of the courses would be major ones. (not electives)

just got accepted to systems design engineering and I have a few questions about the program/engineering at Waterloo in general. I read a similar thread in this subreddit before (was lurking for a couple months) but to my knowledge these questions haven't been covered yet (sorry if they are repeats however :o ) 1) What is the gender ratio like in systems? I heard it is slightly better than the other engineering fields, can someone confirm or refute? 2) For syde students, what are some co-op jobs you've done and what were they like? What narrower field have you specialized into during later years (as a result of electives/coop experience)? 3) Is it realistic to expect to be able to go to the gym for an hour 4-5 days a week? i.e. how much 'leisure' time can one expect in engineering in the average day? I am fairly good at managing my time (balanced 3 sciences including AP bio and advanced functions during first semester with decent ECs + working out 5 days a week), that said of course I haven't experienced a course load like university engineering 4) How often do you guys/girls visit home? if it isn't in waterloo ofc. I'd love to see my friends/family back home every so often 5) How do most people take their notes? With pen/paper, laptop, tablet? I know taking notes with a laptop is disadvantageous as less info is retained but would taking notes on a tablet like the microsoft surface pro 3 be a bad idea for the types of notes taken in lectures/tutorials? Maybe some profs don't even allow laptops/tablets? 6) laptop recommendations? I'm not a diehard apple fanboi but I am more accustomed to ios, that said is it a better idea to get a windows for software compatibility purposes? 7) any advice for future first-years? I'll leave this very general again, sorry if these questions are repeats and for the long list of questions. all responses for any of the questions will be appreciated :) thanks in advance!

I am wondering how many software co-op positions can I get in ECE in comparison to CS. I heard some company only try to recruit people from SE/CS and not ECE. I am not sure if this is true or not. I would be grateful can help me with this.

Could anyone with any knowledge of experience of the engineering admissions process please offer their thoughts on my chances of receiving an offer for mechanical engineering co-op? I am a 23 year old male from BC who took time away from school after high school. The unfortunate truth is I went through a drug addiction from my early teens until age 20, when I attended treatment and have been clean and sober ever since. That being said, my marks from high school are fairly poor (C+ average in grade 12). I received 72% in English 12 in 2009, but in high school I did not take any science and only basic math courses. In 2014-2015 I upgraded (all courses for the first time) my Physics 12, Chem 12, Math 12, and Calc 12 with an average of around 96.5%. I consider my AIF to be fairly strong, as i do a butt-load of community volunteer work especially in regards to helping people who suffer from addictions find a better life. Also, I am a very active athlete in jiu-jitsu winning competitions, teaching and training regularly. I also have been working full time since completing treatment in 2011 in the telecommunications, and recently I have been working in the engineering department conducting tower inspections and audits (collecting information for the engineers to work with). Anyways, my biggest concern is how much of an effect my English 12 mark of 72% from 2009 will have on my application. Please let me know what you think of my chances. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Hi there! Bit of my life circumstances... I'm 22 years old, and I graduated high school in 2011. I attended York University from Sept 2011 to April 2012 on an undeclared mayor in the Liberal Arts faculty. If I had to be honest, I completely bombed my year. I went through a pretty bad period in my life and I knew I didn't want to be in university then (I was sort of pushed into it by my parents), but I didn't withdraw from my classes as quick as I should have to prevent the grade going on my transcript because I thought I'd get kicked out of my dorms and my parents would realize what I'd done. It was dumb and stupid, but I was also young and hindsight is 20/20. I wasn't a full-time student at York, I think I had a courseload of about 60% a full time student's (I dropped one of my big classes within the first couple weeks), but regardless, I fucked up. God knows where my GPA currently sits, but it isn't nice. I don't expect any credits from YorkU to transfer over, and I wouldn't want them to. I have zero qualms starting from year 1, especially because the field I want to go into is completely different. After I left York, I left schooling for about a year and just worked. In April 2013, after having thought about it, I decided I wanted to go into Engineering (I am applying to Software Engineering, Computer Science and Computer Engineering as a backup - I'm still not 200% sure which program I'll go into, but those will be my choices). After hearing the amazing feedback from Waterloo's Engineering program and their coop, I set my sights high on getting in, and I promptly hopped back into school; I started to attend adult day school and I quickly accelerated to top of my classes. I was in day school most of the time from then on, but then I moved to the UK in August 2014 to be with my boyfriend due to some unforeseen life circumstances on his end (we're moving back to Canada at the latest August this year), and I enrolled in online school through ILC to wrap up my credits. As it stands, my current senior 12U grades are: * Physics 12U: 98 * Chemistry 12U: 92 * Advanced Functions: 98 * Calculus: 99 * 6th 12U/M: 90 * English 12U: 82 (did this in 2010, I talked to admissions and they said this is the one class they forgive being older than 3 years) As you can tell, the last couple years I've been working my ass off between having life responsibilities and a job to get the grades I currently have. Aside from English 12U, I did not have any of my sciences (Chem, Physics, and Maths) from my original 4 years in high school, so those are all courses I've earned in the past couple years (I had to also take the 11U prerequisites which is why it's taken me a bit of time). After I wrap up what I have left for my Physics and Calculus (not done with ILC), I expect my average to sit between a 92 and 93. I am comfortable with my average. Even with that 82 bringing me down, I am proud of my grades in my other classes. It's been hard work, but it's been worth it, and I'm satisfied knowing I've put in a lot of work to get those grades. My question then is... how heavily will that past negative experience weigh me down? It's been almost 3 years since I left York. It was mistake, and if I could, I'd wipe that from my academic background. It sucks even more because the faculty of the arts is absolutely unrelated to the sciences, and if that bad experience is the reason I'm turned down, I'm going to be absolutely gutted. What's the worst is that I have to declare myself as a transfer, I can't apply as a new student, and I just wish I didn't have to. :( Anyway, I just want to hear that I'm not doomed, that I can start over and not have one bad period in my life fuck me over! It's been **three years** since I left York, and in between that time, I've been trying to prove I'm serious about school and I'm serious about my future with the fact my grades in my sciences and maths are high. Will that help me out? Or will York U's past hold me down? I'm pretty anxious, my deadline to apply through OUAC is March 2nd... so God help me. :< Thanks in advance!

The problem is I am graduating this April and If I don't get the credit (0.5 unit) then I will be delayed. Has anyone gone through this before. Please help. I am in the science faculty btw

I just had my first ever interview, it went fairly well, but I completely forgot to mention my references, and I didn't give the interviewer my reference page. Could this seriously hurt my chances, or because the interviewer didn't ask, I shouldn't worry? Note: I've only had one job before, and it was just a manual labour job, unrelated to field I'm trying to get into. So I guess I don't have any references in the field. Could this be the reason the interviewer didn't ask?

Hi all, For all software engineering or computer science students who have had previous co-op terms already, I was wondering if it is better to start my first co-op term working at a start-up or a larger name company. I'm currently in 1B Software Engineering and searching for jobs for my first co-op term in the summer and basically have two offers, one from a start-up consisting of two full times in the dev team (plus the co-ops that they hire) (only about 10 people in the whole start-up they said) and the other offer is from a large company that is well-known (not exactly the Google/Microsoft etc. level, but somewhat similar). I know there are pros and cons to both startups (not limited to one thing, more personal connections I assume) and large companies (well-established organization) but for my first co-op term I wanted some advice as to which one I should go for. I'm having a tough time deciding! Also to get future co-op placements is it better that they see that I've worked at a large company or some no-name startup where I might have (potentially) learned more? Help me out? Thanks!

Graduate students are humans too. We are not infallible, but we are nice people. If you show you give a shit, are willing to play by the rules, and treat us like regular everyday people, we would really appreciate it. So here are some things we grad students talk about over ~~beer~~ coffee. **Tutorials** * **Save the chirps for later** Being up in front of the class is hard. If you have a question, or a comment, please raise your hand and ask politely. Being a smart ass may make you feel cool, but it makes my job harder. How would you like it if I berated you in front of 40 other people? * **Come to tutorial.** Seriously, just go. Even if you know the material well, it doesn't hurt to go and engage in the material some more. But even if that isn't a good reason, you should go because your TA will see you give a shit. Giving a shit looks good on you. If I think you give a shit, I am more inclined to help you out when you need a hand. Is it favouritism? Is it unfair? Maybe, or maybe I am willing to help out those who help themselves. * **I do not know the material inside and out** If I did, I wouldn't be here. Consider any class you have taken, and think about what you took away from it. Your TA probably has the same level of knowledge, if not less. So why am I there to help you? Because I a) am way better at problem solving in this area than you, b) can relearn anything you have to learn faster than you can learn it, and c) I enjoy the material. So if I say "wow, I don't know", don't think Im dumb or incompetent. I just don't remember the material. But if your TA is anything like me, thats good! I love learning new things and relearning old things, and it makes you look wicked smart if you can teach me something new. * **I Make Mistakes** I'm human, and I make mistakes. If I make a mistake with the marking, tell me. I'm more than happy to take a look at it if I think it is a legit mistake and you aren't grade grubbing. Here is where coming to tutorial comes in handy. If you come, and pick up your assignments, you can see if you made a mistake, or if I did. **Exams** * **Can you please do XXXXXX for me?** If your question is anything but "explain the question", the answer is probably "No". I won't give you special consideration in exams, ever. Not even if you come to tutorial, buy me beer, or if you are my brother. The rules are on the exams, and those are the rules I have to follow too. I won't re-attach any pages, I won't let you write your name on the exam after the allotted time, and I won't let you fix a mistake you just caught *because I'm not allowed* . When the time is up, the time is up. Sorry. * **Don't take it personally** If I have to move you, or won't do something for you, don't take it personally. My hands are usually tied in the matter. **Office Hours** * **Knock** You would think this is common courtesy, but nope. I have had students just barge in, and it really rustles my jimmies. I am busy, all the time. I'm sure you can appreciate that. So please, for my sake, and the sake of my office mates, please knock.

My goal is to work on the trading floor for my upper year co-op terms and I know that Waterloo sends a few people to many BB banks (Deutsche, Barclays etc.) every year. Is there an ideal major to pursue on the UW Math side (I heard Mathematical Finance is very hard??) and does your major play a significant role in the application process?

So, I was going to take Math 137 because I thought they have pretty much the same contents and its hard to get over 80% in any course. But, one of my friends told me that math 137 is much harder than math 127 so it might actually be easier to take 127 than 137. And there's another friend who told me that the difficulty level for each of those courses are not very different and somehow they mark easier for Math than Math for Science students. So I don't know what could be the best choice. What do you guys think?

I was filling the on-line application to apply for a co-op work permit in Canada. In the background section, we need to answer if we were denied visa or refused entry to any country in the past. I had applied for B1/B2 visa at US Consulate in Toronto in November last year after which I got a 221g yellow form which meant they wanted to do some administrative processing. However, after 1 month the US visa was issued. I would like to know if I should mention about this while answering the above question or should I just say "No". Has anyone else been through the same situation earlier?

I know that Waterloo Engineering requires at least 70% in English. My English Grade 12 mark is 69%. My average in other four required courses is 97~%, so including English, it is 91~%. Does any of you know, will I be rejected right away because of my English mark? -I sent an email to enginfo@uw just a few minutes ago. Waiting for a reply from them as well.

How important is this mark? All my other courses will be above 90% but I think I will receive 85-87 in calculus. Would a calculus mark of 85-87 hurt my chances of getting into computer science / software engineering or does it not matter as long as my top 6 (including required courses) average is above 90%.
