  • Absolutely painful. We had the full work term report back in 2020, not the reflective one. Writing a full properly formatted research paper took a huge amount of time, and depending on your co-op it was really difficult to frame as a research project. It was actually easier if you chose to write about an unrelated research paper. Nearly everyone failed the first draft, and we had to significantly edit to pass the final grading. It was a very useful practice for people planning on research in the future.

  • The papers were marked very inconsistently between the many people who reviewed it which made it difficult to know what the expectations were.

  • A course representing the first of three work term reports - nothing special to note here.
