Gradebook Late Settings

Hello,

I appreciate the Late Submission settings in Gradebook, however I would like more options here. I really need there to be an option for a ONE-TIME late penalty of 50% of what is EARNED on an assignment. This is my class policy and it frustrates students and parents constantly that my policy and what Canvas reflects is not consistent. Just one more option with "hourly" and "daily" would be great!

Thanks for reading!

Since the automatic late policy considers the total grade and not the student's score, what you are asking (Canvas calculate a percentage of the earned score) isn't possible. Alternatively, I recommend that when you are grading late submissions, you award 50 percent of the points you would normally award for the submission and make sure that the late status is indicated on the submission to assist with explaining the score.

Hello @AmandaSHarrison,

This sounds like a great idea. As a workaround, would the Lowest possible grade setting work for you? You would set the Late submission deduction to 50% and Deduction interval to hour. If that is not exactly what you want, you may want to check out this previously submitted idea.

Best,

James

Hello, yes, I have tried those but it does not work. I REALLY want the drop down option to have the option for 1 time deduction. Setting the lowest as 50% does not work because I want the students' scores to reflect half of what they EARNED not half what is possible. The previously submitted idea would also be very helpful.

My school policy is a one time deduction of 5% (5 points). If there was a "One time" deduction option besides daily and hourly that would help. Currently I have it set to 5% deduction, Daily, Lowest possible grade 95%. Therefore a 100% late submission gets 95% but it won't take any % (points) from the students whose grade is 95% or less on a late submission.

Dropped Scores
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
