    University of Calgary - My course enrollment receipt. The start time of my course is 1 pm MT.

    University of Calgary

    I signed up for an Artificial Intelligence (AI) course through the University of Calgary's…read moreContinuing Education department. There are roughly three AI courses that are free, thanks to Microsoft. You will hear a lot about Microsoft Copilot, its AI tool, throughout these courses. I like free courses. I didn't mind learning about Copilot. ChatGPT is the frontrunner these days. It's not my first rodeo (so fitting, as it's Calgary) for me to be a student at an Alberta university. I was with Athabasca University first. I took a couple of undergraduate math courses for interest. I then took a graduate course in program management in IT as my elective for my graduate degree. It's nice to say that I am formally a University of Calgary student. Since this course is free, there isn't a formal grade that you get at the end of it. It's kind of nice to not do assignments, tests, or exams. The course that I took was on AI essentials. It's for anyone who is interested in AI and the tools out there to help you make things easier at work or personally in your life. This course was asynchronous. It meant that we had a three-hour live session through Teams. My session was last Friday. We then had course materials (videos, PowerPoint presentation, and some supplementary materials) to go through at our own pace. I finished everything late Sunday night. I have always loved learning and the course material was fascinating to me. My first time going through graduate school (I was a Master's dropout for a brief period) consisted of declaring AI as my field of specialization for computer science. It's funny how I somehow knew that AI would be a thing, but didn't realize the extent until now. I don't have the same desire to code like I did back then. I do like to see how AI can make my job as a writer better or help me at home. Perhaps AI can fetch a decent recipe for me when I can't think of anything to make or can't be bothered searching for one online. I registered for this course in late January. I chose a date and time to participate in the live online session. The process was straightforward. Within a couple of business days, I got my unique University of Alberta student ID and was asked to create a password after getting a temporary one. Connecting to the Teams session was easy. I used my work Teams account to connect, so I didn't need to install anything. Even if you don't have Teams installed, the link throws you to your browser, so you can technically participate in the chat. One star gets removed for the discrepancy in this online session's start time. The receipt that I got said that this session was at 1 pm Mountain. The syllabus that I got both a week and a day before the live session stated 1:30 pm. I went with the latter. I entered the chat with 177 people. All I saw in the chat were folks debating whether the course started at 1 pm or 1:30 pm. Perhaps it was an oversight of the course instructor and perhaps another person handling the syllabus. It may be the course instructor handling both details and getting them wrong. It's the type of confusion that everyone didn't need on the first and only group session, but got it. Luckily, we didn't miss much. The session was recorded. The course instructor was knowledgeable. However, he had a tendency to say um a lot, which felt like a distraction. Three hours of him talking felt like an eternity. We got five minutes midway through to break, which didn't feel like a break at all. The course materials were great. I liked the videos and sample prompts to feed Copilot and more. I learned a lot. The remaining two AI courses that are free are synchronous in delivery. It means that there are three 3.5-hour sessions to attend live through Teams. I'm not sure whether I feel like attending them. Luckily, I have some time to think about it. I want to check out other courses that this university has to offer. I don't mind taking courses for interest, provided that the tuition is affordable. (96)

    My child attended summer bike camp here last summer. This was her 3rd camp at U of C. The other…read morecamps were good. Did not want to go down a steep hill but was told there was no choice. That morning, fell off bike and hit a tree, blood and cuts all over face and body parts. Finger/hand started to turn blue. Cuts all over her palms and they refused to give her more band-aids when the cheap band-aids fell off minutes later. No one called us. We picked up at the end and found our badly injured child. We went to the Children's Hospital for treatment. Stills talks about how horrible it was. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! I show parents the photos and they gasp.

    This college is a joke. The program is honestly insulting. So far it has been a complete waste of…read moremy time. The professors involved are incompetent and should not be getting paid to *link me an outdated textbook and link me to a youtube tutorial from some random guy back in 2014* and literally nothing else. They also can't seem to use common sense and provide clear instruction, such as course assignment due dates ANYWHERE- which you would think is the bare minimum a student could ask for. That, and I don't know, any communication in general from the actual professors, most of which have been radio silent and don't even answer help forums/questions from their students. :) Do not waste your money, effort, or time. This might as well be a scam.

They clearly do not review course content or instruction or assignments. I would NEVER hire anyone who has a certification from this school after experiencing it for myself. They also extort money from students after they withdraw due to terrible instruction and course content not being as advertised, claiming exaggerated hours of instruction and attendance and without providing evidence to that fact. STAY AWAY!!! They also do not allow work experience equivalencies or allow students to challenge program content. No formal means to file complaints about program content or quality of instruction. A formal complaint to the government is being filed as a result. Lawyers are also being involved.

You know it's MacEwan Hall because it's a building of weird architecture, sort of out of the 70s. The lawn outside MacEwan Hall is a great place to sit and have lunch in the summer.

    People might ask what the difference between MacEwan Hall and MacEwan Student Centre is, and the…read moredifference is basically a staircase. MacEwan Student Centre is the home to the food court, the health and wellness clinic, the spiritual centre and the wireless cafe at the very top. It also has the bookstore and numerous comfy chairs that are perfect for sleeping. That being said, I am pretty sure only students and staff have the true abilities to navigate the weird and confusing architecture. As a student I would give out directions on a regular basis, usually to some poor soul freaking out about not being able to find their conference. That is because the whole MacEwan complex has been built piecemeal. Honestly, I kind of feel like it's an indication of culture. There are five levels of MacEwan Student Centre in total, and they tend to be wide open. If you can score a meal without being ID'd at the graduate student lounge, they have decent service, really good food and awesome prices. Napping areas are best tried for at the chair areas of the third and fourth floors.

Columbia College is like a very mini university which I like as I studied at a small university. You get more personal service and people are overall friendlier plus you get to see everyone more often. It is easy to navigate and they had an outdoor canteen that I wanted to try but just didn't have the time. I would highly recommend taking any courses here. For me it was easily accessible by bus and ctrain then bus. For me that is no problem as I sold my car a few years ago in order to support a cleaner environment and reduction of consumerism.

Furthermore, our Accounting Assistant Instructor, Mr. Rashid, has taught us Manual and Software Accounting topics in a profound manner, covering all of the critical aspects of Accounting and Financial Analysis. He has also spent a lot of his personal time to answer questions, to clarify accounting issues, and to grade assignments and exams. Moreover, Ms. Angel Lalonde has been fundamental in improving my Office skills. I am very optimistic about my future employment prospects after being unemployed for almost two years. Thank you Columbia College for having such a devoted and dedicated team of advisors, facilitators, and instructors. Babak Vosooghzadeh

I attend St. Mary and I absolutely love it here for the small class sizes. I am in my 6th year and the school does so much to help local charities and partner with the community.

St. Marys is a really great stepping stone in a way from high school to University due to the small class sizes, small campus populous, and small campus size. If you are a very social person then this school is perfect, their SA creates a lot of events and everyone is very personable and friendly. The teachers are all helpful as well and are easy to communicate with. The location is convenient since it's close to a train station, but its close proximity to fish creek has resulted in deer running around, and possibly a cougar once (I'm talking about the animal). I haven't been there for three years so I don't know what's changed but I remember a very small cafeteria, not many seating areas, and having to go to UofC's library for books. I do believe the school was constantly working to improve so I'm sure it's in good shape now.
