Can I grade using checkmarks in Canvas?

Answer

You can use checkmarks to grade in Canvas by creating a checkmark grading scheme.

  1. Log in to Canvas.
  2. Navigate to any content block with a Rich Content Editor (page, discussion, assignment, etc.).
  3. Click "Edit."
  4. Next to "Display Grade As," click the down arrow and choose "Letter Grade."
  5. Click "Manage All Grading Schemes."
  6. Click "+ Add grading scheme."
  7. Enter a Grading Scheme Name, such as "Checkmarks."
  8. Change percentage to points and replace the letters with checkmarks.
  9. Change the range to relevant point values.
    • Ex: check plus = 5 to 4 points
  10. Repeat this process for as many check options as you want.
    • Check plus
    • Check
    • Check minus
  11. Click "Save" and return to the assignment settings.
  12. Ensure "Checkmarks" (or whatever you named the grading scheme) appears under "Display Grade as" and "Letter Grade."
