If a student is absent for an assignment, I leave the grade blank. However, I'd like for the blank to automatically change to the 50 ( lowest grade possible per the district) in one week. Is there a way to set that up?
Hi @DENISEWEBSTER2 ,
Canvas does provide functionality to automatically give a specific grade for missing assignments--see How do I apply a Missing Submission policy in the Gradebook
However, the policy only applies to assignments that are submitted online through Canvas. It does not apply to assignments that students are doing in class and not submitting through Canvas.
Also, it cannot be set up only be applied after a week, and it cannot be applied only to a specific assignment. If you want a grade of 50% to be given for all missing assignments, that can be done, but the grade would show up immediately after the Due Date, not a week later.
Another possible option is to use the Default Grades feature.
You could set a Default Grade for the assignment a week after the Due Date is past, which would enter the default grade for any student who do not already have a grade entered (unless you select the "Overwrite already-entered grades" option). However, you would have to do this manually a week after the assignment. There is no functionality for automatically applying a default grade to an assignment.

The fact that the teacher's gradebook view only displays the letter grade in the "override" column makes it difficult for the teacher to review grades, as the numerical grade entered cannot be determined in that view.
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
I use Respondus 4.0 for loading questions to my pools in Bb and now that we have moved to Canvas, I want to load them to an Item Bank. However, to do this, I need to have them downloadable as a QTI 2.1 option. My options or limited. #1 I can load to a Classic Quiz which my university does not prefer, download the questions…
