for my students I made 3 tests, and I said they must write 2 tests so now I want to ask for a an exclusion option? like if a student didn't write test 1 to be excluded and the system to count for 2 tests as per my discretion.
Hi @liyabonaTwaise one suggestion I can think of is to use the Excused status for the test students did not take. You can learn more about the Excused state by viewing the following link: how do I change the status of a student's submission? The quickest way to set the excused status is to enter EX into the grade field. The link will provide you with additional options to set the excused status.
Hi there! If possible, I would recommend putting the tests into an assignment group so you can create a rule to drop the lowest grade out of the three. That way, students only get graded for the two tests that they did complete.
Check out the guide on assignment rules for steps on how to do this 😊

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…

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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
