I would like to merge a 5 point canvas quiz with an uploaded pdf assignment score into an overall chapter score. Is there a way to do this?
Hi @lilliepe,
Each assignment/quiz/graded discussion will have it's own unique column in the Canvas gradebook, and to my knowledge there is no way to combine those columns together, short of making a new single assignment and manually inputting the grades there and deleting the original assignments (which I would not recommend as it would also remove student answers, feedback, etc). Depending what the need is, you could use assignment groups and weighing to put the two assignments into a category and weigh that towards the final grade.
I hope this helps a bit! If it doesn't, could you please provide additional details in what you'd like to accomplish so someone might be able to come up with some alternative options.

I think this question was asked because of the way canvas uploads documents in quizzes. Is there are way for the instructor to see an uploaded document in a canvas quiz without having to download the document?
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
