Adding rubric to assignment

I am trying to add my rubric to an assignment and then use it in Speedgrader. I do not see the box to check to "use this rubric for assignment grading" as an option. It's not a huge deal, but then when I am grading in Speedgrader I need to reenter the scores from the rubric into the individual questions in Speedgrader.

Are you looking for the checkbox within SpeedGrader or on the assignment itself? Where it should be is at the bottom of the assignment where you click +Rubric to add one. If you see the rubric at the bottom of the assignment page, click on the pencil icon at the top right of the rubric to edit it, then scroll to the checkboxes underneath the rubric. That is where the option is supposed to be. It should show up in the same spot when first adding the rubric. It only shows up when editing a rubric after clicking to add one.

Hi there, @MatthewHammers ...

The response you got from @JeffCampbell is spot-on. In addition, I wanted to share this Guide with you...as it has some illustrations showing exactly where you should be seeing the checkbox for "Use this rubric for assignment grading".

How do I add a rubric to an assignment?

Hope this extra bit of information will be of help to you!

Thank you for the replies. I actually also didn't see the +Rubric button at the bottom described in How do I add a rubric to an assignment? As a workaround, I was able to add the rubric from the three dot button at the top right. It is there that the "use this rubric for assignment grading" checkbox was missing. I've attached three screenshots to help illustrate what I'm seeing.

I had this problem intermittantly. I realized that I was adding the rubric at different steps in the process. Here's the deal. I was able to add a rubric when it was the FIRST STEP. Once I populated the discussion with instructions or photos/videos, I would get an "add rubric" button that did not fetch rubrics or let me create them. SOLUTION. Empty the description area of the discussion. I did a cut, then added the rubric, and pasted my prior work. This worked for me. I think it's a bug that should be reported, but not sure how to do that. 🙂

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
