Overall, I’ve had a positive experience using Canvas throughout my college years. Over the past four years, I’ve encountered little to no issues with its functionality, making it a reliable platform for my academic needs.

Pros

Canvas is a highly efficient and user-friendly app for students. It offers a variety of submission options, such as file uploads, text entries, and media recordings, making it adaptable to different assignment needs. Additionally, its built-in support features and the ability to directly communicate with instructors provide clarity and assistance, enhancing the overall learning experience.

Cons

One of the least likable aspects of Canvas is its notification system, which can feel overwhelming if not managed properly. I often receive a high volume of alerts for updates, assignments, and discussions, which can be difficult to organize.
