Most spring term students will be heading off on co-op jobs in a few weeks. But any who are thinking of coming back to class in September will be glad to know that the fall term course timetable is now available on UWinfo.
Some people found the report "too political" and other said it was "too inward-looking", the summary says. And among the questions that were, inevitably, raised in response to its vision was this one that's also being heard in other contexts around campus: "What will we do less of?"
The report had suggested new emphasis on the first undergraduate year in math as a "transitional" time between high school and university study. Not everyone liked that idea: "First year will become like high school," one comment said. "More work for faculty members," another warned. Not everyone liked the idea of creating a position of "director of first-year studies", presumably on the model of something the engineering faculty already has.
The summary says there was "general strong support" for the report's recommendation that the UW math faculty should "be an influential representative and key resource for the mathematical and computer sciences in the spheres of education, government and industry".
Says McCulloch: "This brings you to a Guide for placing material on reserve. The Guide offers you two forms: one is for material owned by the library - fill out the course and book information and submit it, and reserves staff will take it from there. The other form is for material that you submit: fill out the form and mail the material to the Porter, Davis or UMD reserves desk for staff to add to the reserves collection. There is a place on the form to request staff to notify you of the assigned call number."
Photocopies of published works will be accepted for reserves only to the extent allowed by "fair dealing" or by the University's licence with CanCopy.

"In recent years, Waterloo Smoking Projects at the University of Waterloo Department of Health Studies and Gerontology has expanded its research base to include work in health promotion, program development and program evaluation, in the areas of cardiovascular disease and cancer prevention.
"We have changed our name to the Health Behaviour Research Group to better reflect the scope of these activities. Our location on the UW campus, our mailing address, telephone and facsimile numbers remain unchanged."
