Congrats on the next level, the semester 3! You can be proud of yourself for what you’ve made it so far. How did you like last semester? Was it hard like I said or easy for you? If you felt it was difficult overall then try to find some time to catch things up before this semester begins in earnest. Well, I’d say the semester 3 is the most important and challenging in this program. So you want to read this story very carefully if you want to achieve your goal.

- How about study load?
Despite the number of courses is five now, all courses are programming related with labs and they are all advanced courses followed by what you’ve learned from last two semesters. Needless to say, you will get busier with more labs, assignments, and projects than before. - What’s co-op?
Simply put, it’s an internship while studying at college. This program, Computer Programmer at Algonquin College has two optional co-ops after third semester. Yes, it is optional. It doesn’t bug you even though you skip co-op. However, there are plenty of benefits of co-op so you don’t want to just let this great opportunity go. - Why is co-op so important…
