…It’s definitely not perfect.

Nina Fichera

As a senior, I used Canvas for three years before Brightspace. I can understand why our school would switch to Brightspace, but I have to say that I really miss the organization in Canvas and how well the app worked in connection to it. I don’t really get that as much with Brightspace.

As a current freshman, I have never used anything other than Brightspace for my college classes, so I hate less than my upperclassman peers and professors. However, I can still acknowledge that Brightspace f*cking sucks.

This is my second semester so I am not as educated on the alternatives. From what I have seen so far of Brightspace, it is bad for both educators and students alike. Most if not all of my professors have struggled to post on it as well as grade and do other things of that nature. On the student end it is a bit annoying how we get emails whenever a professor does anything, and if you have the app you get notified of due dates even if you have already done the assignment. I have heard others have more complaints but due to the fact that I already stated that I am a first year student I can not fully complain or compare it to anything else. Overall I think that there are good and bad things about it but the school should listen to staff and students and go back to another website.
