QUESTION: If I have no intention of applying for a Master's, is there a big difference if I have a 4-year general degree vs. an Honours degree? Like to future employers I mean.
I've been in English RPW Co-op for the last 4 years. My work evaluations have been excellent, which shows I'm a good employee, but I am a poor student since I can't maintain the 75% average for Honours. If I switch to general I'd graduate without the Co-op title, but the experience will still be on my resume.
Thoughts?
considering 80% + is considered "excellent" by waterloo, 75 is not too away, above average by any means. sounds like too high standards if that is enough to get you kicked out. I have a buddy in cs who is in 60s but still in waterloo with no problems.
ReplyDeleteThat's because tech fields work off of a different scale. If you get it you pass, if you don't you fail.
Delete60s in CS is more significant than a 75 in RPW.
ReplyDeleteyou are retarded
DeleteUnfortunately, UW has the highest major average requirement in the province. They're changing their policy soon (next year I think) because they'll get more funding for full-time honours students that way. Sorry about the timing..
ReplyDeleteI think if you willingly switch out to General, you can keep your co-op on paper.
