I cannot find anywhere a tab for discussion or assignments even tho there are discussions and assignments in the syllabus. Is that something that I, as a student, can fix?
Hi there, @bizjet ...
It's a common practice among many instructors at various schools that use Canvas as their LMS (Learning Management System) to hide the "Discussions" and "Assignments" course navigation links along the left-hand side of a given course. Instead, what instructors do is use the "Modules" course navigation link to add in the discussion topics and assignment from those two areas into the "Modules" page. The "Discussions" and "Assignments" course navigation links are hidden from you and your classmates, yet your instructor can still give you access to the things on those pages from the "Modules" page. This *might* be how your instructor has configured things for your course. But, since almost all Community members wouldn't have access to your course or your school's Canvas environment, we cannot see exactly how your course might be set up by your instructor. If you contact your instructor, you can ask your instructor more about how he/she has set up the course. How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
I hope this will be of some help to you. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
We have a teacher who, when trying to add discussions to a module, cannot see all of them. One of my theories is that there are too many discussions in the course, as there are over 400, and that the pop-up window can only display a limited number at a time. This is just a theory, though. This is a blueprint course, and we…
