OK OK HEAR ME OUT -- as a person who doesn't remember what I did in a work term, this helped me document it. I know people hate this. I just looked at the silver lining of it. It also made me closer to my manager uwu

Hated writing work-term reports. For math students, it is mandatory to let your employer read your report and evaluate it.

u/omnivaliant: “… PD 11 walks you through the entire process (by creating drafts and peer reviews) whereas the other 3 reports (in courses like WKRPT 200M, 300M, and 400M), you pretty much do the entire thing yourself and you need your employer to evaluate it.”

[deleted]: “Hey dudes, I'm on my 2nd work term and am taking PD8 + WKRPT 200M, what happens if I don't submit my work term report, ie. WKRPT 200M? I'm guessing I fail the course and I have to do a min of 4 reports to graduate but does this add to my MATH 4 courses fail count? thanks”

When do we start writing our workterm reports for co-op? Are there any rubrics? 12 points, 18 comments
u/jaeplus: “If you're smart, ASAP. If you are anyone at uWaterloo, night before it's due. Rubrics depend on your faculty/department. Civil Engineering has a pair of documents at the bottom of the right side. Link”
[deleted]: “Where do I find the rubric for Math majors doing their first Workterm Report (WKRPT 200M)? Also, where do I hand it in?”
