Is it possible to set a grading scheme for individual students or groups of students within a class who might need different grading standards than other students?
If not, could this feature be added?
Could you make 2 versions of the assignment, each with a different rubric?
Hello @OregonBG
Thanks for posting this in the global Canvas Community!
I looked into this for a little bit for you. What I found was that you could set up a Grading Scheme for the specific assignment. Essentially, you would select Letter grade as the Display Grade As area of the assignment in edit. From there you can see an option to View Grading Schemes. You would then assign the assignment to the specific students. This should make it so that only the students assigned to the assignment will be graded based on the scheme you select. Of course. you will need to setup a duplicate assignment for the students you are not using the scheme to grade with. This might not be the best option if you are using group assignments and discussions, unless the students you are using the specified scheme with are all in the same group.
HERE is a guide on how that works for assignments.

Other than that, the only other option I could think of would be to move the students to a new course and set the grading scheme up in that course to be used. I was able to locate THIS presented idea that sorta touches on allowing Multiple Grading Schemes to be used for each student.
Hopefully this helps!

Wow, it's been a few years since I've revisited this.
Unfortunately the situation hasn't changed. There still is not a means of having differentiated grading scales for different students (like those on a modified diploma path). Of course you can alter your grading scale, but you can't apply more than one to different students or even sections of students.
I appreciate the ideas above, but in the end these are just work-arounds that end up adding more assignments and cluttering the gradebook.
One possible fix in the developers end would be to allow grading schemes for created sections. Users could then assign groups of students to those sections. Assignments would only appear once and assigned to all sections, but the overall calculation of letter grade would be based on what section they were in.
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
