Has anyone taken collaborative leadership and if so did you purchase the textbook or not

During my first year here, something I noticed was that the majority of my peers in engineering do use AI for work related tasks. I do use AI, but ONLY to make it easier for me to grasp/understand complex concepts, not blindly just memorize the algorithms to different questions.

However, I started to see students use AI for extremely simple tasks that does not even require AI. Like it's not even "generate a paragraph", or "write this conclusion for me", I've seen people ask Chat GPT to generate the graphs for labs (and it generates horribly wrong graphs as well) but some people just don't care. 😂

So considering all this, how would you recommend students utilise AI to optimize their education rather than just blindly get them through their degrees? (Which could lead to even bigger problems after they graduate)

Like what's a life saver thing you've brought to your dorm, or what's fun to do in town, what's the social life/ club life/ party life on campus and so on?

Has anyone done the interview this year. If so, how was it. What type of questions did they ask, etc. Any advice is appreciated! :)

I recently got registered for SAS Accommodations, in my intake meeting we didn’t talk about Early Registration. I’m curious and I can’t find a clear answer on if everyone registered with SAS gets early registration, or if that is a specific accommodation. Not a big deal just curious!

Hey, any accounting students here? I want a MacBook really bad but I heard they’re bad for accounting. can somebody help me out? is it true or not and if so, why laptop is similar if not better than the mac.

1st year engineering this fall and did my course selection today. I chose my own schedule then got an email saying I had to choose one of the three options (pre-planned samples) that was given. Does this mean I have to redo it? I don’t have any conflicts in the schedule I chose and it works better for me. Anyone else got this message?

What is my tuition paying for if they can’t respond to emails on time (after 15 business days mind you), and help me sort out a simple registration issue that would take 1 second to fix but could ruin my whole career if not addressed on time. Genuinely got some of the laziest people working here.

Is anyone going to these events ? I’m a first year student and wondering if it’s actually worth going to socialize and make new friends. Is it just a info session? And lastly what’s is pre orientation like what is it for exactly?

Are first year engineering lectures recorded?
