Using the Study Plan

This page explains how to use the Study Plan. Below are two methods of utilizing the Study Plan.

Important Note: The example below applies to a majority (but not all) of the assignments; if this does not help you, reach out to your instructor directly.

Method 1: Use Study Plan as a Readiness Tool

You can use the Study Plan to practice content questions before completing graded homework, quizzes, and/or tests. While the questions vary, your performance on the Study Plan is a good indicator for homework, quizzes, and tests.

Step 1

From your Canvas course, either select Study Plan from the links in the last module or the links within individual modules.
