Hey A-Soc,
I hope your job hunting and midterms went well. Can you believe that there are only 4 weeks left until the end of classes? Time flies. What have you done this term?
Last week we had resume critiques, course critique preparation and an academic rep meeting. Resume critiques went well as a significant portion of on-stream students are still looking for a co-op placement. In the academic rep meeting, we had more than 30 reps come out and discuss the importance of course critiques, the debt load survey and the retention survey. We also brainstormed ways to incorporate Waterloo SOS (Student Offering Support) exam aid sessions to UW Engineering.
The idea of Waterloo SOS is to allow enthusiastic upper year students to run midterm/final exam review sessions to aid students. In return, the participants will donate $15-$20 to Waterloo SOS with all proceeds going to sustainable education projects in developing countries. The Waterloo SOS expansion plan to UW Engineering is underway and we need your help. If you are interested in getting involved please email me at s14liu@uwaterloo.ca or visit www.waterloosos.com.
Please keep in mind that course critiques will be coming your way the next week. Please take the time to write specific constructive feedback for your professors to help them improve and get fair assessment in their annual review with their Department Chairs.
Finally, keep in mind that PDEng renewal process is almost complete. Be sure to look at the PDEng Renewal recommendations at http://www.engineering.uwaterloo.ca/pdengrenewal. I think there have been a lot positive changes. Now we need to know what you think.
