Canvas Week Plan

Generate a comprehensive weekly plan for a student, showing all upcoming assignments, current grades, submission status, and pending peer reviews across all enrolled courses.

Prerequisites

• Canvas MCP server must be running
• User has student role in Canvas courses
• No anonymization needed (students only see their own data)

Steps

1. Get Upcoming Assignments

Use get_my_upcoming_assignments with days_ahead=7 to get all assignments due in the next week:

Data to collect:

• Assignment name
• Course name/code
• Due date and time
• Point value
• Assignment type (quiz, essay, discussion, etc.)

2. Check Submission Status

Use get_my_submission_status to determine what's been submitted:

Categorize each assignment:

• Submitted: Already turned in
• Not submitted: Still needs to be done
• Late: Past due but can still submit
• Missing: Past due, no late submissions accepted

3. Get Current Grades

Use get_my_course_grades to show academic standing:

For each course:

• Current percentage/letter grade
• Trend (up/down from last week if trackable)
• Impact of upcoming assignments on grade

4. Check Peer Reviews

Use get_my_peer_reviews_todo to find pending reviews:

Show:

• Which assignments need peer review
• How many reviews required
• Deadline for reviews
• Reviews completed vs. remaining

5. Generate Weekly Plan

Output a structured, actionable plan:

Notes

• Best used at the start of each week (Sunday/Monday)
• Assignments are sorted by due date, then by point value
• Late/missing assignments are highlighted for attention
• Works with the student tools: get_my_* prefix functions
• No privacy concerns since students only access their own data
