Fantastic class management software for law school

What differentiates Canvas from other similar products?
I haven't used any other education management software, so I can't speak to what makes it unique, but I've never had any issues with Canvas. It's a great tool and my professors all seem to use it differently, which suggests that it's highly customizable for each instructor.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
That it's a one-stop-shop for everything I need for my classes. My professors post all of our materials on Canvas, I go to it for Zoom office hours, submitting assignments, and whatever else I need related to my class. It's nice only having one software that I need for school.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I really don't have any complaints or things that I can think of to improve. The website portal works great, the app works great and I use that probably just as much as the website on my laptop. I use Canvas every day of the school year and it's been a very easy software to learn to use.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you're considering using an education/classroom management software, Canvas has worked well for me and I haven't heard any complaints from my fellow students.
Pros
- Trustworthy
- Efficient Service
- Effective Service
