How do I add a bonus to a total Quiz score?
Hi @telayne
If by bonus you mean extra credit, you can either add it from the grade book or in Speedgrader, you just add the additional points to the total score that is auto calculated.
@telayne -
You can add fudge points to a quiz score while in speed grader. However, if you want all students to get the bonus (you did not specify exactly what the bonus was or how the students were to get it), you can add a 0 point assignment into the assignment group and then put the bonus points in that assignment.
In writing the above I add a thought that maybe you were asking how to I add bonus point questions to a quiz. If that is the case, I do not think it is possible unless you give the bonus questions a point value of 0 and then go in and add the point values earned for each problem manually. For classic quizzes, the quiz total is based on the point totals for the questions, so you would have to do what is mentioned above. For New Quizzes, it is possible to have the quiz points be different from the points assigned by the problems. The issue there is that if you say the quiz is worth 10 points and the questions total 20 points, then a score of 19/20 on the questions is 95%, so the score given to the student is 95% of 10 or 9.5. So once again you have to create 0 point assignments and then grade them manually.

I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
