In Canvas how do you give one student an extra point to their overall grade?
Hello @pmartin5
It depends on how your gradebook is setup. Are you using weighted assignment groups or just the total of all assignment points is their total grade? If using weighted assignment groups, you may need to give the student extra points on a particular assignment or quiz to adjust the total. If using just regular assignments for total points, you could consider creating an extra credit assignment, assign it to this one student only, and give them extra points there. That could work also if you are using weighted assignment groups as well if you don't want to adjust any previously graded assignments. Here is the Canvas guide:

However, if you don't want to adjust their current assignment scores or create an extra credit assignment for them, you can also enable the override total grade feature. This technically will apply to everyone and you will create a new column next to the total column. However, you only need to increase a single student's grade and the rest would still count as their totals. Some schools don't have this feature enabled, and you would need to speak with the school if these advanced options in the gradebook don't have it within your course. Here is the Canvas guide:

Hello, I have a number of assignments that require students to complete peer reviews. Because my course is self-paced and students are progressing at different rates, I created completed sample submissions using the Test Student account so that students would always have a submission available to review. However, when I go…
Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
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…
