Tasks for Canvas™ per Jeff Cheng

Ever had trouble finding your weekly assignments? Wish you had a nice progress bar to motivate you to complete everything? Then this extension is for you! The Tasks browser extension for Canvas™ updates the Canvas dashboard sidebar to show all of your weekly assignments and track your progress throughout the week.

RELOAD CANVAS AFTER INSTALLING

The sidebar includes:
- A colorful chart with various rings color coded by course. As you complete your assignments throughout the week, the rings will show your progress!
- A to-do list of all active assignments that are counted in the rings. Each task item has the name, course, type, due date, point value, and link for the assignment.
- The option to create custom task items
- The option to filter assignments by course
- The option to view rings and assignments from past and future weeks
- The option to view completed or incomplete assignments
-The option to manually mark assignments as complete

This extension also contains an options page accessible from the sidebar where you can customize various aspects of the extension.

Notes
- Works in Card View, List View, Recent Activity View, and on course pages!
- Only courses that have active assignments will be shown
- All active assignments that have no submissions and are ungraded are displayed in the to-do list (the section titled 'Unfinished').
- 0-point assignments (i.e. extra credit) are shown in the to-do list but are not counted in the rings.
