Well – you can!

How to View a User’s Calendar: (If you have Admin privileges) Using the Admin Menu option, search for and select the user whose calendar you wish to review. On their profile page scroll to the section on the lower left of the screen to the “ICS Feed” panel. Click the “Web Link” button to copy the ICS address for the user. Using your preferred calendar tool (Google, Outlook, Apple, etc), follow the instructions for “adding a calendar via url”, using the copied link. Once done – the user’s calendar will be shown in your selected calendar application. (N.B.: To greatly simplify this process, we will be adding a user calendar quick view to the UI in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for updates!)
See the Weighted Value of Course Objectives: In any course page, click the donut chart icon in either the summary detail section or in the course objectives section, and you will be taken to the visualizations page showing the course objective weightings.
