I am trying to build a rubric with ranges eg 6-4, 1-3 and 0 in one criterion. It will not allow me to manually add the range and defaults. For example, I add 6-4 then when i add the next one to be 1-3 it changes the 6-4 to 6-3.
Hi @KendallJONES,
I'm going to paste a post I just wrote for someone else on this same topic...
All areas of Canvas, includingRubrics, allow for decimals to be entered, so that needs to be taken into Consideration (like, what if the teacher enters 3.01... Canvas does not do any sort of grade rounding). I'm including a screenshot here of a rubric set up with ranges.
Essentially what Canvas is saying for "Full Marks" here is that anything from 5 points to anything greater than 3 points will be in the "Full Marks" category. Anything form exactly 3 points to more than 2 points would be on the "Okay" category, and then the rest in the Needs Improvement category. This is the same way grade scales work in Canvas too. Everything needs to be explicitly defined for every possible option, including decimals.
I hope this may add a bit of clarity as to why the system displays in the way that it does.

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?

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." It would be a…
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…
