New to Canvas, here. Can anyone tell me if the Total column rounds, or takes the tenths place at face value?
@MaryBolton
I wasn't sure what you mean by the tenths place because the gradebook rounds to the hundredths position. Then I saw this question that came in just a few minutes after yours and makes me wonder if you're asking the same thing: Grading Scheme. I answered the question there if you want additional details beyond what I write here.
The grades are not rounded to the nearest tenth before applying the grading scheme. They are not rounded at all before applying the grading scheme. They are displayed to the nearest hundredth in the gradebook, but the un-rounded version is used in the calculation of the grade.
If you have 90% as the lowest A, then 89.9995 would show in the gradebook as 90 (when rounded to the nearest hundredth) but it would show the grade as a B.
We're working on improving preferred name visibility in Canvas and have been trying to explore all possibilities for showing preferred names in the roster and/ or gradebook. We understand that according to this help documentation, short name maps to Canvas display name. This documentation and this Canvas community…
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
