Very little has changed. I graduated UofW in the class of 1974 in Electrical Engineering. Now retired. Your suggestions are "right on" today as they were 40 some years ago. Do not let assignments back up because you'll drown. Do no let failure beat you. Get up and dust yourself off and go on forward. What I didn't realize till later was that everyone failed multiple times. It took me a number of semesters to realize my failures were less than my collogues. And pub nights were "once" a week period!!!!

[@JasonGoodison]

I loved reading your comment! So glad to hear that this advice has stood the test of time - it definitely took me longer than I would like to admit to discover these basic ideas. Hopefully this video helps freshman for the next 40 years :)

[@khangau4844]

oh I guess you are no longer "Young" haha. I am also in EE, just finished my 3rd year. I just moved to Toronto for my co-op work terms from Edmonton. May I ask what you specialized in throughout your career?

[@nicholast]

8:18 very true, I figured out how to solve an assignment question in the middle of a workout 😂

[@JasonGoodison]

Its always like that eh

[@titoosemobor2051]

Broooo. Please continue. I just applied to Waterloo CS. I am sooooooo anxious and scared. I dunno what to do with myself

[@JasonGoodison]

Glad you're enjoying the content! Ill for sure make more

[@RanbirSingh-no3mc]

I've almost completed a year at UW Comp eng and god I can relate to each and every thing you say. Keep this on

[@JasonGoodison]

Thanks! Be sure to spread your tips too!

[@RanbirSingh-no3mc]

Sure. Please make more UW videos

Going into co op math, and this was so helpful. The start things the day they are assigned is something I’m definitely going to do.

can we get an update on this statement?

[@aamiremes6175]

@@89aki61 what up, finished first year and once I started taking this dude’s advice thing got a whole lot easier. On co-op right now and overall really enjoyed first year.

Hey what’s your 2nd year update. I’m starting honors math coop this fall any tips to do well in math? i’m not a genius at all

[@veerpatel6719]

How good is math for getting SWE jobs? Any update?

[@prodigyinthe6ix224]

Thank you so much for these videos. I’m in 1A CS rn as well, and they really do help a lot.

[@JasonGoodison]

Thanks for watching. I had a lot of trouble in first year. It gets easier!

[@adarshchhokar3818]

“It can't be that simple, right?” ICONIC 😂

[@AL-gz6cd]

Loved it, really helpful!!! Definitely make more of these

[@goodhuman1]

Where is your episode on residences and any tips to get cheaper residences in Waterloo?

[@HarshDave009]

This was really helpful, I'm in my first semester of CS right now

[@JasonGoodison]

Glad you got some value! Let me know your other questions and I'll make some more videos

[@goodhuman1]

I'm saying thank you to God every day for creating such a helpful person like you ❤️❤️

[@abrarrakin1757]

I am a first year CS student at UWaterloo and I'm really struggling with time management. Personal side projects are super important for coops, but unfortunately I hardly get the time to work on side projects. Please make a video on how you managed your time at UWaterloo.

[@JasonGoodison]

I feel you, Abrar. Thanks so much for the suggestion. Ill start mapping out that episode tonight!

[@abrarrakin1757]

@@JasonGoodison Thank you so much! Really appreciate your efforts.

[@Galaxy-jy5hb]

Yeah hi! Thank you so much for this amazing video!! It's gonna help me a lot in the near future.. I did have one question though.. how would the professors know if the friend(let's say A) who the copier(let's say B) copied from had written the original code..? Like couldn't they think that A had copied B? Because maybe not always A would have already submitted their code before B copies A's code, right? Thanks!!

[@bluediamond6991]

Kind of an unrelated question here, which laptop would you recommend for an eng student? (not something over 3-4k)

[@reigndrops4090]

How hard is it for first years to balance an extracurricular such as an engineering club or sport team?

[@maximatron1159]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Hey bro .... Make a video on part time job in university of waterloo

Really helpful! I’m in 1A Mechatronics eng right now and am worried about this May for co-op especially cause of the current pandemic. Do you have any tips for getting your first internship

[@JasonGoodison]

Great question. I'll put together a video on how to get your first internship, although it'll be gaged towards Software. In the meantime, I did already make a similar video you should check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKaVhaKAirtrkLc

[@arshnoorkaur2307]

it was really great and helpful! P.S: you have got amaaaazing eyes!

[@JasonGoodison]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the compliment 😀

[@cathysun4887]

If I want to work for companies like apple, Microsoft, or google, should I study computer science or software engineering?

[@JasonGoodison]

Either!

[@whateverforever3240]

Thanks for creating such a good video, do you know anywhere that reliable website that I could find a place to rent near waterloo university.

[@skyblue4230]

Hey man, I know that co op positions can be really tough to get and I'd imagine it's even more tough as someone going into a program like computational math. (I applied to comp. Math as my second choice) Do you know what kind of jobs students in programs like those get? I'm guessing it'd be related to software but you have to do all the learning of skills by yourself since you don't get access to most of the cs classes.

[@JasonGoodison]

I had a few friends. Let me see if I can get one of them on the show to share their experience

[@skyblue4230]

On the show? That would be so awesome!!

[@kiranchunara4242]

Thank u ,pls make more videos .And can we able to collect some part of fees from co op .Pls reply ☺️

[@JasonGoodison]

Thanks for watching. Would collect if I could haha

Don't be upset! You can still achieve your goals from whatever uni you end up going with. I have not forgotten you! All my content going forward will help regardless of university
