Hello, I wanted to talk about somethings that I like about canvas that I have learned the past few days. Firstly I appreciate how easy it is to reach instructors and peers. Being able to reach others so easily makes me feel better about asking for help so I don't have to wait for hours to get the help I need. I also like that there are resources for us to use to remind us how to do certain formats and citations. It helps me be more productive that everything I need is in one area and I don't have to spend time searching google for it. lastly the Turnitin tool is so unique and useful to make sure I am getting a good grade on my work and being sure I am putting things in my own words.

I want to get a good job doing something I love. ... View more
