Consider making Canvas’ Syllabus page your course start page. See my post on creating a start page for details on how a start page works.
The Syllabus has its own dedicated link in course navigation, making it easy for students to refer to.
A useful feature on the Syllabus page is the table of assignments that appears at the bottom of the page. This outline is automatically created and updated as you create and update events and assignments in your course. All events and assignment due dates appear in chronological order, making it easy for students to see which event or assignment comes next.
The assignment table shows the title and due date of each assignment. If you need more information in your course schedule, I’d suggest you avoid using the Syllabus page altogether: the assignment table cannot be removed from the page and it would be confusing for students to see two lists of assignments on the same page.
I highly recommend that all of your course activities be either events or assignments so they appear in the syllabus page. It will automatically update whenever you make changes to assignments or due dates. See my post on creating events and assignments for more reasons why making all of your activities either events or assignments is a good idea.
