On a quiz, the TEST STUDENT is listed as having missed every question and the class average is affected. How do I turn off grading of TEST STUDENT?
@ToddLaMaskin -
I totally despise the test student concept showing up everywhere - fortunately for me, I have had dummy student accounts created that allow me to add them in to my courses and see exactly what students see (of course they affect the averages, but I really don't care about that aspect).
In my opinion the test student should be visible to the instructors but have no affect on the grades as you note.
On to your answer. The only thing I know of to do would be to excuse the test student for all graded assignments(done one assignment at a time).Or, everytime the test student shows up, delete the test student from your roles.

note - if you have multiple sections you have to remove the test student from each section

In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
