Hello,
My current late work policy is 1 day no penalty, 2 days, highest grade of 75, 3 days highest grade of 50. Is there a way to make this work on Canvas? Specifically I'm thinking of auto-graded assignments like quizzes.
It is not ideal, but here is a possible solution.
Let's say the due date you tell students is Tuesday. On the assignment itself, set the due date for Wednesday. Then go to your Grades page and select the Gear icon to view settings. On the Late Assignment Policy, the second half handles reducing work by a percentage value if late. Set it to reduce the grade by 25% with an interval of Day, with a lowest possible grade set to 50%.
You tell students Tuesday.
Wednesday will have no penalty because Canvas thinks that is the due date.
A submission on Thursday will reduce whatever grade you give by 25%.
A submission on Friday will reduce whatever grade you give by 50%.
This would likely imply to students that it is due Wednesday rather than Tuesday, so you just have to make sure they understand your policy of being one day late without penalty.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
