Quiz grades seen as letters (for faculty)

Hello, is there any way to see a quiz grade as a letter (A, B, C, etc...)? Right now, I can see them as points and percentage, but our school has 3 grading schemes so seeing them as letters can be helpful too. Right now if I click on the 3 dots of a quiz (in the gradebook page) and then, I chose "enter grades as", I can see the options "points" and "percentage" (so the grades show as either or) but not "letters" - maybe that can be an option down the road? It is just a suggestion.

Hi @mariadecoster ,

Are you using New Quizzes or Classic? In New Quizzes there is a drop-down option for "Display Grade as" similar to the one in Assignments. You can select "Letter Grade" instead of "Points." This is done when creating (or editing?) the Quiz, not from the Gradebook. After you select "Letter Grade," you will access an additional option to choose the appropriate Grading Scheme.

I don't remember if this option is available in Classic Quizzes, and I no longer have access to that format at my institution.

@mariadecoster ...

Have you set up the Grading Scheme via your course "Settings" page? This is where you can define what an A is, what a B is, etc. For example:

A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
etc...

Please let Community members know if these links will be useful to you so that the grade letters can display in your Grades page. Thanks!

Yes, we have 3 different grading schemes, so that is already set up. But in the gradebook, I cannot see a grade as a letter, that is the component I am looking for

Searching for files - I need the location
I sometimes need to search for a file on Canvas so I can rename it or move it to a specific folder. The 'search' facility' is useless because it doesn't tell me the location of the file -i.e. which folder it is in.

Ungraded Checkpoint Discussions Not Showing
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
Overlapping Scroll Bars
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
IB MYP reporting for assignments and Grade book
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
