The biggest mistake that students make is waiting until the last minute to complete assignments. There is a class calendar that lists the dates for all course activities, assignments, quizzes, and tests. It is located on every page in Canvas. In addition, Canvas list all assignment due dates at the bottom of the syllabus, and has a "To-Do" area to remind you of upcoming assignments. Check the course and the "To-Do" list area every day to stay on target.
