Great use of time to be honest. Hearing program/admin information from Paul Ward was helpful, and SESoc's presentations were great. We were given valuable insights into things like interviews, co-op, and being a "10X developer".

It's literally just the profs talking to you. This year it was super great upper years givings us lectures about interesting topics from co-op, to AI and research. Paul Ward was useless though.
