I have one quiz worth 5% and another worth 20%. I can't weigh the quizzes assignment group all the same. Is it possible to assign the weight specifically to each assignment?
Hi @TylerLawrence12
To assign a weight to an individual assignment you will need to create an assignment group for that activity and set the weight you desire for it.
In your instance, you'd have one group for the 5% assignment and a second group for the 20% assignment.
Assignment Groups Weighting is used for the big categories of grades which you will use to calculate your students' final grades. For example:
Homework Assignments: 20%
Weekly Quizzes: 10%
Chapter Exams: 30%
Midterm Exam: 15%
Final Exam 25%
These are the categories that you would list on your syllabus.
Now, it's the important part: there is no sub-tier of percentage "weighting" within each category. Now, you need to look at points.
Let's say, for example, you have five chapter exams, and you want them to be counted equally. Then each exam would need the same number of points. (e.g. 30 points each)
However, perhaps, you want the last two chapter exams to be worth more. Then you need to adjust the number of points. (e.g. 30 points, 30 points, 30 points, 50 points, 50 points).
So, if you have two quizzes, and the second one is more important, just give it more points.
I have a student enrolled in a course who has been able to access content with no problem. But yesterday she was suddenly unable to log in, and that has continued. She tried to change her password, but Canvas never sends her an email with a link to change it. She also has stopped receiving announcement emails. What's going…
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…
