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.
While typing an Announcement, sometimes midway, we need to check something for which we click on Grades or Assignments. Then when we return to Announcements, what we types simply disappears. It will be very helpful to have a DRAFT option under Announcements so that the unfinished message is not lost.
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
I'm an instructional designer working with a faculty member who wants all of the students in the class to work in groups to complete a feedback form together, with contributions from each group member. The way the Canvas Collaborations instructions are written, I don't understand how to make this happen. Do we set up a…
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
