### Canvas: Quick Links

#### Your Canvas Profile

* [Profiles](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-edit-my-profile-in-my-user-account-as-a-student/ta-p/421) allow you to update your name, preferred contact methods, and any personal links for your account. Your profile information can be viewed by all users in your courses. In an online course, your profile is an important way of letting your instructor and classmates "see" you.


#### Notifications

* The [notification](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-manage-my-Canvas-notification-settings-as-a-student/ta-p/434) system is designed to help you keep track of the activity in your Canvas sites. It's important that you customize the default settings to fit the way you want to receive notifications. (You don't want to miss any important communications from your instructor!)

### Accurately Calculating Grades in Canvas

**Students: Make sure you are seeing the right grades in Canvas!**

* You're probably familiar with [checking your grades for a current course in Canvas](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-grades-in-a-current-course/ta-p/493), but did you know that you might not be seeing an accurate calculation of your final grade when you check your grades at the end of the semester?

* In order to get an accurate view of your final grade towards the end of the semester, make sure to uncheck the Calculate based only on graded assignments checkbox:


```{r echo = FALSE,out.width='50%', fig.align='center'}
include_graphics("img/grades.png")
```


* You may also be seeing icons and colors when you view your grades. [Learn what these grade icons and colors mean](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-icons-and-colors-in-the-Grades-page/ta-p/476)
