Hello,
Is there a way to assign different weights to exams based on student performance, for example, counting the higher-scoring exam as 70% and the lower-scoring exam as 30%? Thank you.
@AzharulIslam It sounds like you may want weights to differ student by student, for example Student A did better on Exam 1, so it counts for 70% for them, vice versa for Student B.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
