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'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
