Tasks for Canvas™

Description

Ever had trouble finding your weekly assignments? Wish you had a nice progress bar to motivate you to complete everything? Then this extension is for you! The Tasks browser extension for Canvas™ updates the Canvas dashboard sidebar to show all of your weekly assignments and track your progress throughout the week.

RELOAD CANVAS AFTER INSTALLING

The sidebar includes:
- A colorful chart with various rings color coded by course. As you complete your assignments throughout the week, the rings will show your progress!
- A to-do list of all active assignments that are counted in the rings. Each task item has the name, course, type, due date, point value, and link for the assignment.
- The option to filter assignments by course
- The option to view rings and assignments from past and future weeks

This extension also contains an options page (which can be accessed by clicking the puzzle-piece icon in the top right of Chrome, clicking the pea-pod icon next to the extension, and selecting 'Options') where you can customize the time period shown (i.e. show all assignments from this month instead of this week) and various other aspects of the extension.

Notes
- Only works in Card View and Recent Activity View
- Only courses that have active assignments will be shown
- All active assignments that have no submissions and are ungraded are displayed in the to-do list (the section titled 'Unfinished').
- 0-point assignments (i.e. extra credit) are shown in the to-do list but are not counted in the rings.
