I create severeal assigments under one group. But students were required to submit just 5, how can I grade just the ones they submit without damage their grades with the excused option?
Hi @Mericki44,
In my opinion, the best way to handle this would be to grade everything (including giving missing/unsubmitted assignments as a 0, using missing policies if you'd like). If you do things this way, you can set up an assignment group rule to drop the lowest X number of assignments. In your case, since you want to keep 5, you'd set X to be the number of assignments in the group minus 5. This does assume that all assignments in the group are worth the same number of points. If they are varied points, the method will still work, but each student's total score may end up being out of a varied number of points possible.
Hope this helps!

I've gotten this email approximately 9000 times in the last two days and it is completely useless.

Every course homepage has a "Get Started Here" section with an ordered list, where…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?)

If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been unsuccessful in trying to prevent instructors from deleting locked Blueprint module items/pages in their associated courses. The locked Blueprint module item still shows up in the child course's page index, but Pages is not something that we leave visible to students in the navigation. Functionally, the locked…
We are in the middle of add/drop, where students are changing classes regularly as they find the right fit for them. I have been using SIS Import to quickly update class rosters, but a downside is that teachers do not receive a notification when their rosters are updated. Is there a way to alert teachers that a new student…
Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
