Welcome back B-Soc and happy New Year! Hope everyone has had a good start to the term, and is getting used to their schedules. It is very important to try and set good study habits early. There is nothing worse than delaying studying and being caught off guard once midterms approach. If you review your notes every day and avoid cramming for tests, you might find yourself to be a less stressed, more organized student.
Aside from the usual class work, this is the time in the term that the most students begin using Jobmine. I am happy to announce that CECS now offers the long awaited option of using a PDF resume, so take advantage of this. Adding your new shiny PDF resume is just as easy as uploading a HTML resume. This new process has the intention of saving students a lot of time and formatting issues that would arise after uploading. It is important to note that the functionality of uploading an HTML resume has been removed from the system.
In other education news, a new PD elective was passed recently at the Senate Undergraduate Council. The new PD course, titled PD 9 will cover ethical decision making and conversations in a workplace environment. Unfortunately it will not be available this spring for those of you that will be on coop next term, however it will be offered in Fall 2013. Topics covered by the course will include the ethics of making a profit, ethical decision making in a group setting, and much more. If you are interested in reading a more about available PD courses check out the webpage at uwaterloo.ca/professional-development-program.
Finally a little educational tidbit for the week: Did you know that in January 1996, Food Services added Cheerios to the menu in Village 1 residence? Keep Smiling!
