Group Assignment Grading Options

Overview

You have two options on how to grade group assignments in Canvas.

Option 1: All students in the group receive the same grade. 

  • Example: Group 1 earns a score of 45 points. That means that all four students within Group 1 earn a score of 45 points.

Option 2: Students in the group receive individual grades. 

  • Example: Group 1 has four students in it. Student A earns a score of 50 points. Student B earns a score of 33 points. Student C earns a score of 50 points. Student D earns a score of 45 points.
