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?

Why not just change all dropped assignments to "Dropped" instead of "missing"?…
Our H5P LTI assignment scores are not returning to the gradebook 9 times out of 10. It's been going on since 15 September, and we are not aware of any event or change at that time that might have caused the issue. The H5P reports confirm students have completed the assignments, therefore ruling out user error. Is anyone…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
