  1. Click on the Syllabus button on the homepage.\u00a0<\/li>
  2. Click Edit.\u00a0<\/li>
  3. Type your syllabus directly in the page or copy and paste sections from an existing syllabus document into the Canvas Syllabus Page.\u00a0<\/li>
  4. Once finished editing, click Save.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>

    Once the Syllabus page is finalized, link it to the Syllabus button on the home page.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Determine if merging or splitting sections is needed. To prevent loss of student data, this should be done before adding course content in Canvas. If a merge or split is necessary, Please Merge or split prior to the deadlines associated with each semester. For this issue, you can send an email to ji-it@sjtu.edu.cn.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    This step is only necessary if material is imported from previous institution, or content from another instructor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    To export or import course content, view\u00a0Exporting and Importing Course Content<\/a>\u00a0for instructions. JI\u2019s Canvas storage quota limits imports to 1GB. Duplicate data can be minimized by using the\u00a0Import Specific Content<\/strong>\u00a0feature which allows manual selection of content. For assistance with course export files that are larger than 1 GB, contact the\u00a0IT Office.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The gradebook in Canvas is used for entering grades, tracking student performance, and communicating to students. Setting up the gradebook at the beginning of the semester helps students see accurate grades and minimizes required work at the end of the semester. To set up the gradebook:\u00a0<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Settings:\u00a0Establishing a Grading Scheme<\/a>\u00a0ensures the gradebook can be transferred to Howdy.\u00a0<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Grades:\u00a0Create Late and Missing Policies<\/a>\u00a0at the beginning of a course means the policies are applied accurately across all assignments.\u00a0<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Assignments:\u00a0<\/p>

    1. Create Assignment Groups<\/a>\u00a0for weight-based courses. Assignment groups should follow what is outlined in the syllabus. Point-based courses may not need assignment groups.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>
      1. Create Assignment Rules<\/a>\u00a0such as dropping lowest or highest score(s) or choosing assignment(s) that will not be dropped.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>
        1. Edit Due Dates<\/a>\u00a0if content is imported or copied from another Canvas course. Due dates should be edited to ensure late policies are applied correctly.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

          Use the\u00a0Modules\u00a0<\/strong>feature to organize course content such as files, assignments, quizzes, and discussions.<\/p>

          To facilitate the use of\u00a0Modules<\/strong>, the template automatically enables these Canvas features in the course navigation menu:\u00a0<\/p>
