Alpha and beta are sections in my canvas course and I would like this to be real-time, so as graded discussions are posted by alpha, beta can review them without assigning a grade to beta. Can this be done?
Hey @JimPorto!
I am going to answer based on my interpretation of your question. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply with additional details of the specifics of your situation.
If both sections of your class are assigned a graded discussion, the Gradebook is expecting a grade for the students in each section. One thing that might work for your situation is to go into the Gradebook and excuse the students in the section you do not wish to assign grades.
Please let me know if this is what you were meaning or not.
Thanks!
Probably one of the easiest ways to excuse students is to click Grades in the course Navigation menu. I would then apply a filter to only see the section of the students you want to excuse from the assignment. Enter "ex" for the grade for the first students in the column for that discussion. Press Enter/Return on the key board and then do the same for each student until all of them have been excused form the assignment.
I tried to set the default grade to Excused for the assignment once I filtered for the section. It gave a message stating that the default grade had been set for the number of students in that section, nothing was changed in the gradebook. I am thinking that maybe you need a numerical grade for this to work. Feel free to try this though to see if it works for you. To set the default grade, hover over the title of the assignment in the Gradebook. Click on the three dots that appear to the right of the title and select Set Default Grade to se if this method works for you. (Only typing "ex" gave me an error. Typing "excused" Gave me a confirmation method, but nothing changed in the Gradebook.)
Good luck and I hope you find a way to make this work with your workflow! Would love to hear your results, which may help other Community members too.
Workable solution to the problem. Thanks.
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…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? 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…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
