## Academic Advice
Find a nice group of people that you study well with and meet every once in a while to work on things together,
you can do that generally by asking around via messaging platforms/office hours. To avoid plagiarism, avoid discussing
intricate details of the solution but rather bounce ideas off one another, and leave yourself 30 minutes after the meeting
before you write up a solution
Try to complete your assignments without consulting your notes. It will be very challenging to do if you are not very confident
in the content and is a good indicator that you need to understand the content better! Try to review it again and do the
assignment without referring back to it.
Try to manage your pace when it comes to work. Its really easy to burn out and lose motivation in the middle to end of the term,
when you need it the most. Give yourself a breather and take breaks!
Assignments can be pretty endless, so make sure you celebrate your small wins. Modularize your tasks and reflect on all the
work youve done over a period of time. Its often much more than you think.

## Coop Advice
Although WaterlooWorks is quite reliable, there are many more opportunities outside of the job board.
Being able to apply for jobs externally not only prepares you to look for jobs full time but it also
provides a way to start your study term without having to worry about looking for a co-op.
Create rituals for starting your day and ending your day. Studies have shown that not having a post work activity
makes it harder to not think about work which leads to burn out and reduced productivity. Start your day by thinking
about what you want to achieve and how you want to feel. End your day by doing an activity i.e exercising, listing
todos for tomorrow, or even reflecting about the work day! This may help you have a more balanced lifestyle.
To make the best use of your time, set a time limit on how long you spend on the problem (e.g. 1 hour before
you ask for help). Asking for help on an issue youve been stuck on for some time can be beneficial. Its much
better to take an hour of your mentor/boss time than to be stuck for days without any results. The solution
may be team/organization specific and asking can save a lot of time. Be sure to try your best to solve the
problem on your own first to maximize your ability to learn.
If you have spent time diving into the codebase but you still are confused, schedule time with your mentor/coworkers
to have a code base walk through. Write up questions to ask during the meeting and take notes of unclear parts of the code.
Check over your code at least twice before submitting your code review. Reviewing the code a second time may
help you catch minor issues and/or problematic code that your reviewers may or may not comment on. If you are
unable to figure out a solution to an issue, then reach out to someone for help rather than implementing a
hacky solution. You will be more aware of your coding quality, less prone to ignoring issues, and overall
be a more responsible developer.
Asking for feedback from your manager/mentor throughout the term can go a long way. You can ask about your
performance in certain areas and ways you can improve. These feedbacks can help determine what you should continue
and/or change. For example, you can ask about their expectations and how you can achieve a specific rating on
the employer co-op rating to set up specific goals.
Around the middle of the term, ask to go over your co-op evaluation form with your manager. In doing so, you will
be able to modify your current goals to match/exceed your managers expectations. This is especially helpful for
you to determine how you can achieve the co-op rating you want.
Meeting and networking with people in and outside your team is an amazing way to learn and meet new people.
Coffee chats are a great way to learn about interesting roles and tasks others around the company perform.
Try to set up coffee chats with others at your company as you might meet an amazing connection or learn about
a really neat topic. This may lead to an idea of what you want to do in your future co-ops. A format you can
use is: “Hey, I'm the new intern of \<manager\> and I was wondering if I could put something on your calendar
so I can get to know you and your work a little better.”
Aim to make most/all of your code testable. This will ensure the code is functioning properly and will save
time debugging in the future. This is a useful skill to have as a developer.
Each push request (PR) should focus on a very specific change/feature. Modularizing the changes will make
reviewing the PR easier and quicker.
Set up a system to stay on top of your work. This can be as simple as setting up a to-do list ready for the day.
The important thing is to be clear and intentional with your goals each day so you can optimize your focus on getting things done.
Document any blockers you faced during onboarding, and how you overcame them because chances are others will face them too.
These can be tips/advice you would give new hires. Feel free to share these findings with your team, because they want to make
the onboarding process more efficient and up to date for future hires. Some examples of things to take note of are
outdated/incorrect/missing documentation and the way the team does a specific task.
Negotiating compensation for an offer when you already have competing offers can be very beneficial for you and its normal
to do. For a general guide, you can use the format:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello [Name of recruiter],
I am very interested in working \[company name\]. I have been given an opportunity at \[another company name\] that is offering \[compensation\].
Would it be possible for [the company name] to match/increase the compensation.
Thank you,
[Name]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not have competing offers you can still try to negotiate using the format:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello \[Name of recruiter\],
Given my experiences, would it be possible to increase the compensation to [compensation]?
Thank you,
[Name]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Either way, it does not hurt to try as the worst they can say is no.

## Social Advice
If youre looking to watch movies with friends then you can either buy cheaper (Tuesday prices)
at the Student Life Center or Waterloo has a list of streaming sites where you can watch free movies.
Join different clubs or societies! Theyre a great way to make friends and manage your time better.
Plus, it makes going through a school term much more fun.
Take up the opportunities for meeting people. You never know who you might meet. If you dont put
yourself out there and take chances, its much harder to find a relationship, friendships, or even study buddies.
Be kind. Celebrate your friends successes when they get a co-op job and support them when theyre struggling
too. Waterloo is so competitive and sometimes it can be hard to navigate through, so make sure youre giving
and getting a good support network.
Additional Resources
Along with your tuition fees, part of your library fees grant you access to a database of [free movies](https://media3-criterionpic-com.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/htbin/wwform/006/wwk770?&kw=zkcode%7C000005%7C)
