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.
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?

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…
