Week 16 - Finals Week Reminders

Greetings.

TLP has some friendly finals week grading reminders: 

• 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:

  • Override a student's final grade in the Gradebook. Note that students will only see the overridden grade in their grades. Many faculty prefer to leave the grade in Canvas as-is and make any final overrides in Faculty Center.

  • Use the notes column in the Gradebook for later reference.

Reminder: The grading period ends May 22 at 5pm. 

• Grading rosters available in Faculty Center May 9. 
• For Incompletes concluding after June 14, extend course access.
• TidyUP before you take off!

If you need help or have a complex grading structure, be sure to drop into the TLP Zoom Lab Mon-Fri, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. We’re happy to assist.

Cheers, and happy grading!
