For the longest time I never downloaded the Canvas App on my phone. I think I finally did last semester as a junior. Before then I would just have it open as a website on my phones browser and look on there. I did that because on the Mobile App the one thing you cannot do is look at the averages. Because I have the toxic trait of comparing myself to others, I like to know where I stand with everyone else. Even now that I have the app, I will check when a grade gets released, but I still usually go onto the actual website so I can see the averages. It is a good app for general purposes like looking at assignment due dates and grades, but overall I do not use it much. I usually just pull out my laptop and do everything on there. I do love the layout of it though. Canvas is a great website and is very simple and easy to use. This carries over to the app so I like that. Overall it is a good app, but I do wish it would show the averages of grades.
Hey all, My name is Jacob, but I go by many nicknames: Jake, Heath (my last name), DJ (it is a long story). You can also just call me Jacob, which is what most people do. My major is microbiology/pre-med. Microbiology is an odd major because the first microbiology course I took was not until second semester junior year, so I am glad I enjoyed it or else I would have wasted my first two years on a major I did not enjoy! I eventual plan is to become a doctor. I still have a long ways to get there, but I am hopeful. People always ask me what specialty I am planning on, and I always hate giving them an answer. That part of my life is sooooo far away that I know my views and likes on different areas of medicine will change. Because most people expect an answer, I tell them sleep medicine because something about sleep and dreams interest me so much. I was the kid who had night terrors and sleep walked (I still do sometimes), so I think it would be a good fit for me. My biggest hobby wo...
Hi Jacob. Yes I am commenting on a very random post. Since I've already commented on your introduction post, I decided to see what else you've written about and this one jumped right out. I didn't start using the Canvas App on my phone until last semester. Granted I'm currently on my third semester (this time around...it's a long, sad story) so I really only didn't use it for one semester but I digress. My phone kind of stinks, which is why I avoided the app but now that I have it, I use it all the time. Like you, I prefer the web version of Canvas, but the app is super helpful.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacob, I am going to comment on your posts as well :) I think that this is a good point and would help keep up with assignments and due dates and to organize what assignment to do when since at this point with so many due dates and so many things to do aside from just school work, it is good to have something that will organize itself for you to lessen the stress and work that you would need to do. I use this app and it is a smart thing to take advantage of.
