i am new to canvas and online learning. the course work for my class is in pdf form. our quizzes are open "book". How do i use canvas to search for my key words in order to answer the questions? thanks

I understand that philosophy and it is something I would have probably done as well. However, you may be short changing your education and learning techniques.

Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
