Ran in 12 terms, Winter 2020 to Spring 2024.
A work-term report presenting in detail a technical project, activity, or analysis engaged by the student normally during the preceding work term. The report is evaluated on the basis of written communication skills and technical proficiency in the subject matter as demonstrated by the report. Work-term reports are required courses for the degree but their grades are not included in the average. However, failed work-term report evaluations may delay a student's progress as indicated in the Examinations and Promotions section of this calendar. Details regarding the evaluation of the work-term reports can be obtained from the student's program advisor. [Note: This course is considered as DRNC]
Requirements, as last listed

If you got a hardware co-op, then writing a work report could be fun. But not for a software co-op.

“Hi there. I am in CE and was wondering how work term reports work. Im on my 3 coop term but I heard apparently you have to do 4 work term reports? …”
u/a2xia: “… You will have to do 3 work term reports (WKRPT 201, 301, 401), and the absolute latest you can submit your first work term report is the 3A term (so, you'd be writing about the stuff you did on your work term before 3A). …”

ECE, Currently on Co-op, WKRPT Question. Do we need to enroll in the WKRPT Course in Quest this term, or do we just hand in the work-term report when it comes time? 1 point, 2 comments
“thanks”

“I haven't finished up my work term report and i don't think i'll be able to. I'm in 2B in ECE (stream 4). Is it required for me to submit a work term report this term? Can I submit one next term (3A)?”
u/Cainhelm: “No, you can submit WKRPT 201 (your first WT Report) in 3A, which is also the last term you can do so. I'm planning to do the same thing, because I procrastinated on the report this term as well. …”
