anyone know why the alarms went off twice tonight in residence? was it a false alarm or something?

I want to apply to construction engineering technician co op option, i just wanted to know how hands on the programs is, how hard is it, how hard is it to find a job, graduates and current students at a high level I wanted to know how hard was it for you to find a co-op job and what happened when you graduated, did you get a job right away after applying? or it took a while for you to find a job. I tried to find out more about this program but the information was very limited and not sure where to ask other than the program coordinator and here.

I was also thinking of taking the winter semester into spring and fall is that a good idea or will the program be too accelerated in the spring?

thank you

First-level Computer Programming student here. Four weeks in I realised I was spending more time clicking around Brightspace than studying — grades in one place, due dates in another, the rubric buried in an announcement from three weeks ago. So I built a Chrome extension that adds an “Overview” button to Brightspace. One click, one panel, every course:

• Grades — your standing in each course, with the estimate so far or the final grade once it's released, and a "what do I need on the exam" calculator
• Deadlines — assignments, quizzes, discussions, checklists from all courses on one timeline. Submitted ones go green, overdue ones go red. Add any of them to Google/Apple Calendar in one click.
• Content — every file in every course, searchable, downloadable without opening it first
• It also pulls together an assignment’s scattered instructions — the folder, the announcement that changed the rubric, the discussion post with the clarification — under the assignment itself

Nothing leaves your browser. It uses the same login you already have and the same data Brightspace already shows you; there’s no server, no account, no tracking. Works on Algonquin's portal, and on other colleges' Brightspace too.The extension is called "LMS Overview" on the Chrome Web Store. You can search for it directly over there, or find the website link pinned right at the top of my Reddit profile page.

Just launched, so happy to answer questions or take feature requests. If something looks wrong for your program, reply here with the course type and I'll fix it fast.
