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:

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
In legacy SpeedGrader, the instructors see students' initial post followed by replies. Why is it no longer listed that way in the Modernized SpeedGrader? Grading is made easier if the initial post is first, making it easily identifiable.
