[ARCHIVED] Check historic grades of the assignments submitted by a student?

[JiaqiCheng]

Hi, Instructure team, 

Could you please help me with the following question?

We want to see the progress of the students.

Thus, we need to check all the historic grades of an assignment submitted by a student.

For example, if a student has handed in an assignment multiple times, at the moment we are only able to find the score of the current submitted assignment and the last time submitted assignment from the data we extracted from the Canvas platform by joining "learning_outcome_result_dim" and "learning_outcome_result_fact"?

But how can we find the scores of the same assignment submitted by this student before the last time?

Thanks.

Hi @JiaqiCheng 

If you were accessing the date via API, you would be looking at the Gradebook History (https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/gradebook_history.html#method.gradebook_history_api.submissio... ).  But within the Canvas Data, I don't see the history available in straightforward table.  I suspect that you'll need to look at "submission_dim", which includes information about the assignment submission and the grade, as well as a "grade_matches_current_submission" boolean indicating whether or not this submission is the most recent one to be graded.

Hello @JiaqiCheng 

You can always check the gradebook history if you want to see grades for submissions that were entered. 

I did find THIS API information on checking submissions. This should help you look at: The event is emitted anytime an end user or API request submits or re-submits an assignment. 

Hopefully this helps!

I am an adult and this is my first time using Community/ canvas as an online student for my high school diploma. How do I send a message to my teachers for the respective courses I have submitted/and to ask a question about the course that I am waiting to do in the future?

Thanks

If you are wanting to contact your instructors for courses you are currently taking in your school's Canvas environment, you can do that by following the steps in this Guide:

How do I get help with Canvas as a student? (use the "Ask Your Instructor a Question" link to send a message to your instructor)

However, if you are wanting to contact instructors for future courses that you are not yet enrolled in at your school, then you will most likely need to use your standard e-mail account (whether that was a school-issued e-mail address or a personal account like Gmail or Yahoo, for example) to contact your instructor(s) that way.

I hope I've understood your question correctly.  Please let us know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
