Students are seeing assignments that have not yet been graded as 0's. Why don't they show up for students with the paper icon that is in instructor's gradebooks? It would reduce so much panic from students if they saw something other than a 0 on their end! If this is an error due to my institution's setup, please let me know so that I can go and cry to them. If it is something that is due to a configuration on your part, please consider creating a method to denote to students that their assignment has not yet been graded.
Thank you!
I like the idea of creating status icons for the gradebook. Both the instructors and the students would be in the know when something is pending grading. I think this is one of these ideas that need to garner some major traction and get upvoted before Canvas even considers this...
All of these would show either in the gradebook for instructors or in the grades area for students. This would create transparency with grading for both parties.
I would look at the date the assignment was turned in versus the date it was due, and the settings for missing work. Canvas has an option to assign a 0 (or some other grade) to any assignments that are missing, after the due date has passed. Let's assume that you (or your district) has that option turned on. It is in the Gradebook settings, by the way.
Assignment A is due on Monday at 11:59 PM. On Tuesday, Canvas assigns a 0 to anyone who has not turned it in.
A student turns in the assignment on Tuesday afternoon. Hypothetically, Canvas should remove the 0 and mark it as late. However, there is a flaw in the Canvas system. Once a 0 has been assigned due to the missing work setting, that 0 will remain EVEN after the student has submitted late work. This is really annoying when you have it set up to Sync with your SIS nightly. Issues with the Missing flag have been reported for several years at least now.
Three ways to fix this. Go in and manually remove 0's from anyone who has turned it in is one way, the second is to remove the setting to automatically apply a grade for missing work. The latter will prevent this from happening, but it you would still need to manually fix any 0's applied before turning off the setting. Grading the work will also remove it, obviously, as the third fix.

I would love to see Canvas provide a way for third-party tools identify files used in question and item banks! Some instructors rely heavily on question banks to randomize questions and provide students with varied questions on retakes. These questions often include images and other files that instructors need to retain,…
I do not like that when I grade by question on Canvas quizzes, I have to select the check mark or the x, then also hit update. Too many buttons to hit makes the process take so much longer! Once I have said if the question is right or wrong, the score should automatically update. Also, it would be nice to be able to grade…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
