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.
