The syllabus is an automatically created page that can be of great help for your students. On the top part you can add a text to summarise the course. On the bottom part a list of links over everything that will be graded i Canvas — assignments, graded quizzes, and graded discussions will be created automatically.

If you write a clear text to your syllabus and urge your students to use it then they’ll need to wonder where a certain assignment should be handed in.
