Canvas End-of-Semester Tasks

End-of-Semester Tasks

• Use AccomdateHQ to accommodate students who need extra time on quizzes and exams

• Offered extra credit? In Canvas, it can be complicated. To learn more, review your extra credit options.

• Missing assignments → zeros: Canvas will not calculate missing grades. Enter 0s or set a default grade for each assignment. 

• Set letter grading scheme: If you want a letter grade to display, add your grading scheme in course settings to match your syllabus.

• Using weighted grades? Weigh your assignment groups to match your syllabus. You can put multiple or single items, such as an exam, into a group. 

• You can also:

  • Add a personal notes column in the Gradebook for later reference.

  • Override a student's final grade in the Gradebook. 

    • Students will only see the overridden grade and not the calculated. 

    • Some prefer to leave grades as-is and make overrides in Faculty Center.

• Reminder: The grading period ends December 31st  at 5pm.  

  If you need help or have a complex grading structure, be sure to drop into the TLP Zoom Lab Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm. We’re happy to assist.
