 Grades in Canvas There are a few ways that you can view grades in Canvas. The first way to view grades is by selecting the View Grades button in the sidebar. Here you can quickly see your grades for all courses you are enrolled in. To view your grades, just click the course name you want to see grading details for. Or you can access course grades by opening a specific course in your Canvas dashboard. For this demo, I am going to use a specific course from my Canvas dashboard. On the screen, you will see my Fall Idea demo course. If you look next to the Grades link, you will see there is a number 5 there. This means that I have 5 new assignment grades. Now I am going to click on the Grades link. When the Grades link opens, you will see an overview of all of my assignments and grades for this course. You will also see my current grade. I am going to sort my grades by module so I can easily see my grades in the order they were completed. I recommend that you do this too. But you can sort your grades by due date, assignment title, or assignment group using the Arrange By drop-down menu if you would like. Right now, it looks like I have a 73.77 hours in the Idea class. Let's look at the Grades table and review some of my grades. When you look at the table, you will see a list of my assignments including their due dates, my score, the total points that were possible, and if the assignment has been graded. First, let's look at the assignment called Learn. Project Idea. Do you see the dialogue bubble? This means that my teacher left me a comment. Let's click the bubble to see what she said. The comment says, You lost 5 points because you did not record. See me if you need help. I don't know what record means, so I will talk to my teacher tomorrow. Next, let's look at Practice. Practice quizzes. There isn't a comment from my teacher, but I can see I got a score of 7 out of 7 possible points. That means I got everything correct. Now let's look at Discuss using the computer. I can see that my score is 3.8 out of 5 points, and I see a dialogue bubble and a blue box with a star. Let's click on the box to see what it is. Oh, the blue box is a rubric that shows me how my assignment was graded. I can see that I lost .2 points for capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and spelling. I also see that I got a zero for student replied to a classmate's post. I wonder what that means. Maybe the dialogue bubble will have more information. Let's click on it and see. The first dialogue bubble shows me that I typed word and PowerPoint wrong. The second comment says I lost points because I didn't reply to a classmate. I still don't understand what that means, so I will ask my teacher tomorrow. Finally, let's look at Learn. Successful students. Under the score column, I see a circle with what looks like a squiggly line in it. We haven't seen that before, so let's see what it means. If I hover over it with my mouse, I will see that my instructor is working on grades. That means she hasn't graded the assignment yet. I will have to come back and check my grade later. When I look at my grades now, I see comments and rubrics that are open. I can leave them that way or I can click on close and close them. I am going to close them. One additional feature that I wanted to note is the scoring details feature. When you check your Canvas grades, you may also see a check mark with a plus sign to the right of it. This is the icon for scoring details. What this icon means is that after at least five students in your class complete an assignment and get a grade, you will be able to see the low, high, and average scores for your class. This feature is not one that you really need to use often, but I wanted to mention it in case you see it when you check your grades. Now that you have learned how to check grades in Canvas, it's time for you to check your grades. Be sure to ask your teacher if you don't understand a grade or a comment. You can watch the video again if you need to.
