Science Work Term Reports

Guidelines

The Faculty of Science uses basic guidelines for co-op work term reports. 

Biotechnology/Economic, Biotechnology/Accounting and Science and Business students should follow guidelines specifically outlined on the Science and Business website: http://www.scibus.uwaterloo.ca/academic/coop.html

How many work reports must be submitted in addition to the PD2 report?

A minimum of 3 work term reports must be submitted in addition to the PD2 report.  The PD2 report counts as the first work term report for all Science students.

Due Dates

Science work reports are due on the 10th day of lectures in the study term that follows your co-op term.  If you are doing a double co-op term, the work report(s) are due on the 10th day of lectures in your first study term following the work terms.

When are work reports returned to students?

Effective September 1, 2011, reports will be handed back within the first 40 days of the term in which they are submitted. 

In those special situations when the work term report is submitted after the 10th day of classes, an alternative date for when the work term report will be available for return will be established at the time when the report is received for evaluation.
