How To Do What If Grades On Canvas

Ever wondered how to unlock the mystery of 'What If' grades on Canvas? Buckle up, my curious friend, 'cause we're about to dive into a world of hypotheticals, where numbers dance and dreams take flight!

First things first, what's the big deal about 'What If' grades?

Imagine 'What If' grades as a magical mirror into a parallel universe, where you've aced every assignment, attended every lecture, and even mastered the art of parallel parking (okay, maybe that's pushing it).

In this alternate reality, Canvas shows you what your final grade would be if you'd pulled off that perfect semester. It's like a little cheerleader, whispering sweet nothings of 'A+'s into your ear.

Alright, enough with the metaphors. How do I find this mystical 'What If'?

Oh, it's not mystical, just hidden. Here's how you find it:

1. Log into Canvas. You know the drill.
2. Click on 'Grades' at the top of your screen. Easy peasy.
3. Scroll down to the bottom. Yes, all the way down. Like when you're trying to find the last French fry at the bottom of the bag.
4. Voila! There it is. 'What If' grades, ready to blow your mind.

Now, let's get quirky. What can 'What If' grades tell me?

Well, it can tell you if you've been living in a fantasy world where you've somehow managed to complete every assignment early (spoiler alert: you haven't).

It can also show you the power of a single point. A 'What If' grade might reveal that if you'd just scored one more point on that essay, you'd be basking in the glow of an 'A'.

Or, it might just confirm what you already know - that you're a rockstar, and your final grade is going to be off the charts. You go, Glen Coco!

But wait, there's more! Can I change my 'What If' grade?

Sadly, no. 'What If' grades are like a time capsule from a past life. They show you what could've been, but they can't change what is.
