[ARCHIVED] Grade Book / Late Assignments

[abba_locke]

In Course Progress, you can set up Canvas to automatically reduce late assignments a certain percentage for each day something is late down to a certain percentage. It's a wonderful feature. However, the late deduction does not come off of the overall grade. In other words, If I have it set to reduce 5% a day down to 65%, but I then score something as earning a 65%, Canvas will not reduce the grade below 65% regardless of the fact that it may be late on top of earning a poor grade. I wish there was a way to have the late deduction come off of the grade the instructor gives the assignment.
