Ran in 7 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.
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.

Not a useful metric of anything - particularly when doing lit reviews. This is just a drawn-out research report that forces you to stress out before the terms even start. If you don't have any useful data from a co-op term, prepare to write a lot of BS. Not to mention marking is inconsistent as all hell, you can put in little effort and get an A, or weeks worth of effort and get a resubmit, it really comes down to how your marker feels that day. I really hope UW changes the format of the current WTRs or gets rid of it completely.

I got a really bad (but passing) mark on my last SE work term report for really dumb nitpicky reasons, while other people I know got lucky and got Outstanding for similar quality work. Waste of time like all the other work term reports. At least it's the last one.

Work term report. The best part was knowing you wouldn't have any more to write

Completely useless and archaic report that makes students work way too hard...profs hate marking them, students hate writing/possibly failing them, and employers hate dealing with them - just scrap them already!

“I'm currently a student in the MAcc program and I still haven't completed my AFM specific work term reflections due to its sheer stupidity and waste of time. …”
u/jjj84206: “… So they are coded WKRPT200/300/400, if you go to your undergrad transcript you can see them listed there. What happens is that if you don't get credits for these, you will not be able to select your courses for next term (MAcc Spring), thus you cannot graduate. …”
