Once I enter the point values that I am giving the student for each criteria, it used to put the total points into the grade box. It is not doing this anymore. How do I get the points from the rubric to enter as the grade?
Hi @eoverton70,
If you edit the rubric that's attached to your assignment, you should see the "use rubric for grading" option. If you turn that on, the points from the rubric should go to the grade box automatically. This is mentioned in the guide: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-rubric-to-an-assignment/ta-p/1058 (see the "select rubric settings" section, number 4 in the screenshot).
Hope this helps a bit!

@eoverton70,
In addition to what @chriscas wrote, there is a weird workflow that repeatedly catches people until they become aware of it.
If you set the option to "use rubric for grading" before you find and attach a rubric, it does not remember (save) your settings.
What you need to do is attach the rubric. Then click the button to edit the rubric. Then check the box to use the rubric for grading and save the settings.
Unintuitive, which is so un-Canvas-like, but hopefully it helps you understand. If you're like I was until I figured it out, you were probably saying "I know I checked the box but now it's not working." To Canvas, the checking of the box never got saved because you "changed your mind about the settings" and decided to change the rubric instead. Technically speaking, the new rubric might have different settings, but most people were probably changing the settings based on the rubric they intended to use, not the one that was there.
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
