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.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
