u/juicemadeofapple: “pd11 assignment 4 marks released yesterday. although I put an insane amount of effort in the report, I received a ridiculously low mark for something of this caliber. the feedback I received was ridiculous and it seems like the TAs didn’t even read my report. …”

u/banqu3t: “Imagine willingly becoming a PD 11 TA. Go work for the IRS or something”

u/Big_Steak7381: “i passed pd 11 but failed pd 1, smth im pretty embarassed about lmao. you gotta swallow your pride and just half ass it once and get it out of your way in hopes to never to do it again (like i didnt with pd 1 💀)”

u/ConsequenceNo3618: “They wanted a 20-page report, but I gave them a 40-pager and their feedback implied they didn't even read it lol, they complained about figure numbers instead of the actual content”

u/GeorgeDaGreat123: “I took PD19 but PD11 is so much worse. I'd rather make 2 voicemails than write 20 pages of useless content”

u/waterloo_waterloser: “The one nice thing about PD 11 (why I chose to take it) is that as an engineer I was able to resubmit the final report for it as one of my four required work term reports. So basically it was a free PD credit for writing a report I needed to do anyway.”

u/Zealousideal_Day3646: “PD11 is forcing math and science majors to write… i chose my math bc I didn’t want to write 😭”
