Nyah Way (ID: 0000004773a8b352) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2020 I LOVE this extension. As a CS student, I often have to go look up prequisites and other information about courses. This extension makes that information so much more easily available. I would highly recommend this to any UofT student for any campus.

Ahmer Imam (ID: 0000004b3b33a9f3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2019 Have been using this extension since it was first released and advertised on Reddit. Thought I wouldn't need it as much but it proved to have been EXTREMELY convenient and it used to be kinda glitchy and whatnot but it has been heavily improved since then. Definitely recommend this to those who are often lurking the course calendars or to any first years.

Jun Z (ID: 0000003d57148aae) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/22/2018 Good extension, but a few problems: * Once the extension is enabled, GitHub wiki basically becomes unusable (textbox keeps getting cleared) * GitHub link you provided gives 404 error.
