My students are allowed to drop their lowest test score only if they have an 85 or higher homework average. Since everyone didn't meet the homework average requirement, how do I drop lowest scores for just the ones who did?
Hi @ConnieHarvey
Canvas doesn't have an option where you can specify to only drop the lowest score if they get over a certain percentage on the average. If you select to drop the lowest score of a group of assignments, it will do it for all kids.
You can go to the gradebook and manually change the grade for the assignments you want to drop for the students from the grade they have to "EX" ( excused). You would need to do this for each student you want to drop it.
That will mark that assignment Excused for that student and it won't calculate into their total.
You can share an idea for this in the community to be voted for.
How do I create a new idea conversation in the Instructure Community?

I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
