Canvas Gradebook
Best Practices
Introduction
Introduction
The Canvas' Gradebook helps instructors enter, calculate, and display student grades. The image below shows the default gradebook’s instructor view of a course with assignments and quizzes organized into 4 assignment groups. Assignment groups are a way of categorizing assignments based on their role in the course. Creating assignment groups helps to weigh the final course grade. For example, in the image below, essays are worth 20% of the final grade, quizzes are worth 25% of the final grade, the midterm is worth 50%, and oral presentations are worth 5% of the grade.
