      🧭 Where’s My Class?! How to Navigate Canvas Like a UAT Pro

      Find Courses, Check Syllabus, View Grades & Rubrics, & More

      So you’ve logged into Canvas (🎉)—but now you’re staring at your screen wondering where your courses are hiding and what your professor actually expects from you.

      Let’s break it down before your brain blue screens.

      🖱️ Step 1: Find Your Courses

      1. Go to Canvas via Synchronic and log in.

      2. On the Dashboard, you’ll see course cards—click one.

        No cards? Click the “Courses” tab > “All Courses” to find everything.

      3. Once you’re in a course, welcome to the digital classroom of destiny. 🎓✨

      đź“„ Step 2: Check the Syllabus (Yes, Really)

      Click “Syllabus” in the left-hand course menu.
      Here you’ll find:

      • Course overview

      • Assignment breakdowns

      • Required materials

      • Deadlines (aka “don’t turn this in late” warnings)

      Pro Tip: This is where the roadmap to passing lives.

      đź“Š Step 3: View Grades & Rubrics

      • Click “Grades” in the course menu to see how you’re doing.

      • Click on any score to view feedback and the rubric used to grade it.

        Rubrics = what your instructor is actually looking for (spoiler: it’s not vibes).

      đź“… Step 4: Stay on Top of Stuff

      • Use the “To-Do List” on the dashboard to track upcoming assignments.

      • Check the “Calendar” tab for due dates across all your courses.

      • Bookmark the “Modules” tab in each course—it’s usually where lectures, assignments, and quizzes live in one tidy timeline.
