"UW ID (last 2 digits) 20166611 PDEng has some good ideas (about work report stuff) but is in such a terrible format! The marking's screwy and it adds extra stress to the already stressful time of writing a work report."

"UW ID (last 2 digits) 49 PDEng is for the university, not the students. It's a cheap way to impress employers. The administration doesn't care how it impacts us as long as it can tell people that it makes us better students to hire."

"UW ID (last 2 digits) 01 I couldn't agree more... This should be an optional course for people who haven't done any of this before."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 20176253 I think PDEng demands far too much and is a hack solution to fix a problem that doesn't exist."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 23 0's FOR NO GIVEN REASON, NO NOTIFICATION RECIEVED"
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 72 I agree with all points, but I agree VERY STRONGLY with points 1, 4, and 9."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 20163027 I think PDEng, with the right content could be invaluable, but as it is so much of it is based on common sense and skills I've already learned that the program is, for the most part, useless."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 20164947 I think PDEng was implemented with a good intention, but they failed to use the right method of getting the information across to students."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 20164887 Did all of PDEng during work , so much for impressing the boss . Thnx alot waterloo, maybe i should have gone to U of T"
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 74 This course provides no plausable benefits and only provides hours of sweat and tears of frustration as students fail again and again. Please bring professionalism to PDEng."

"UW ID (last 2 digits) 34 I didn't learn anything and it doesn't teach about Professionalism"
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 20178518 The basics of ethics is universal but personalities and beliefs differ - meaning that 'The Right Way to Be' is quite subjective. The makers of PDEng obviously did not realize that they cannot enforce their psychology (way o"
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 2..... PDEng a waste of time"
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 60 I agree with removal, the concept is very weak"
"UW ID (last 2 digits) maikhan Infuriating course that is an utter waste of time. Information is purely common sense, which compounds the aggrevation. I sincerely hope this course is terminated."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 60 Tried so hard to do well on the modules, spent so much time on it, yet I still fail it. I don't have that much time and reserved for a course like this."
"UW ID (last 2 digits) 2******* PD-ENG doesnt help me much"
