The Daily Bruin

Join our tight-knit community in the Arts and Crafts Club! The club will create a welcoming space to do arts and crafts, where you can learn new skills from other skilled students and grow your own skills.

We will primarily focus on knitting, crocheting, sewing, and macramé, with other crafts to be added in the future. Beginners are welcome! Please fill out this survey to help us become an official club.

If your professor is recording grades in Canvas, you can enter hypothetical grades for future assignments to see the effect on your final grade. Check out instructions for “Using What-if Grades.” This might be especially helpful if you’re deciding whether to withdraw from a class.

It’s possible there are assignments that are not in Canvas, so make sure you know whether all graded activity is listed in Canvas when you use this feature, then adjust your interpretation of the “What-if” final grade accordingly.
