Late deductions working incorrectly on assignments
Per below, I have Canvas configured to do a 50% deduction on late assignments. The problem is this is not a 50% deduction. Instead, it appears to be deducting 50 points. For example, if I have a 25-point assignment, the student gets a 0 for a late assignment. Even if the interval is the issue, it would take many days…

Where is the Moderate Quiz button?
I need to make an adjustment to the due dates for several quizzes and other assignments for one student who has been in the hospital. I have tried to follow the directions given to Moderate a quiz. However, nothing I do with a closed or open quiz brings up a list with Moderate this Quiz as an option. What do I do now? Mary…

Late deduction without an interval
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…

FEATURE REQUEST: 0 point New Quiz questions require no manual grading
I had an exam, which was a New Quiz, which had a lot of "fill in the blank" questions followed by 0-point essay questions. The 0-point questions were "show me your work", mainly so that I could verify veracity of the auto-graded answer in the prior question and assign partial-credit points as needed. E.g., if the student…

Partial Credit for Matching Questions in Quiz
I saw a post that this was in development (from back in 2021), but when I clicked on the link to subscribe to this update, it was missing. Does anyone know if this is still in development? It would be so nice to be able to set partial points for matching questions. For example, if they incorrectly match 1 - 3 items, they…

How is "NA" a permissible value in the "criterion_use_range" field?
I recently received a data dump of ALL rubric data from our Canvas instance so that I could analyse how our rubrics are being set up. One field I was interested to investigate was the ratio of rubrics using point vs using ranges. This field seems to be captured by "criterion_use_range" and contains values TRUE (i.e. is…
