Is it possible to set the numeric grades in a course to show to the tenth decimal only? It currently shows to the hundredth. I've seen some posts that say it's possible to change it but wasn't sure how to make the changes.
I could not find settings for changing the formatting of numbers on the Grades page, and I looked at the admin and instructor settings. I do see that the second decimal only displays if a second decimal is available. In other words, if I type only one decimal then only one is visible. Of course I don't have as much control when a student takes a quiz where automatically graded score results in a decimal.
Your question reminds me of a situation I encountered using another LMS that does allow the users to choose the number of decimal places to display. They chose zero and there was a group of assignments where a student's scores were 7, 7, and 7 but the group total was 20! We thought that the system forgot how to add until the instructor shared that they actually awarded 6.5, 6.5, and 6.5 for the three assignments. Those add up to 19.5, which rounds to 20. Perhaps there is wisdom in displaying those extra decimals if they are present.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
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…
