Group Assignment Grading Options

This article describes the two options for assigning grades for group assignments and shows how to select either option.

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.
