Is there a feature to filter out early submissions and give extra points to early submissions? I understand the gradebook and be exported, modified and uploaded back but this is extremely error prone. Thanks in advance for your feedback
Hello @HermelaBelachew
Thanks for posting this in the Canvas Community!
I looked into this for quite a while I am sharing what I found.
There is not a feature that would allow you to filter out early submissions and give out extra points on them. Currently the only way to look at submissions made early would be to check in Speedgrader. If a student submits, the submission will show the date and time the submission was collected. If a student submits and resubmits, the gradebook should show a color status. You can also look at the details of each submission in Speedgrader for any given student.
As far as giving out extra credit, there is not a default option or function to do this. Currently extra credit is strictly up to the instructor's discretion. Typically you would use a 0 point assignment, or you would just award extra points to the student on the assignment, discussion or quiz you are using for this.
Hopefully this helps a little!

I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
