It's just a slot used for co-op and WatPD information lectures for the 1B class. Only went to it twice.

It exists at the beginning for useless extra info but can sometimes be used to cover extra examples in other courses, for me specifically was for ECE 106

They used this as an advertisement for various things, such as CECA, counsellors, upcoming events, ect. that could all be found online. Waste of time for the most part.

Which of these classes are bird courses/which can I skip? Not sure how it is humanly possibly to stay in class for 8 hours a day. How are labs and which tutorials have quizzes? 37 points, 43 comments
u/ee_stu: “Still better than the old 2A schedule, but you can probably skip some tutorials if you don't find them helpful, ECE102 seminar is pretty useless if they don't take attendance.”

“Going into ECE next year, stream 4. I have a lot of time this summer to work on a project or two, so I'm wondering what sorts of projects first year students typically have (in terms of complexity). …”
u/ezemasterrace: “… I think in the new seminar course (ECE 102) you have some design days where you work on projects. The faculty sent out an email a while ago about a recent design day which included building a motor, h-bridge circuit and some arduino stuff. …”
