In aviation, a preflight checklist is a list of tasks performed by pilots before takeoff.

Canvas Assignments (including traditional Assignments, Graded Discussions, Quizzes, and Surveys) can be organized into groups. These are useful on their own to help students (and instructors!) keep track of coursework, but can further be used to implement “weighted” grading, which provides significantly more flexibility for instructors to implement a flexible, adaptive curriculum.
