Is there a way to have students take Canvas quizzes and then canvas takes their quiz percentage and converts that to a 4321 Standards Based Grading Scale?
Hi @KatelynBodily ,
If your institution allows it, you can create a new Grading Scheme set up with 4321 instead of ABCD(F) for the descriptors, and you would then set the percentages to match your needs.
When you create the quiz, use the Display Grade as option and select the grading scheme you created. The grade should then display based on the 4321 scale. (This is for New Quizzes; I don't know if this option is available for classic Quizzes.)

The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
