Change Canvas Display for Students: Some students have it set to “List View,” which only shows classes that have a due date on assignments for the day, therefore, students think there is nothing to do in some classes and are not getting credit for assignments. Students, change this setting to “Card View” so you will see all four classes daily and are forced to go into each class for daily work." Click here to see how to make the changes.
