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.
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…
