Will voting for this feature may be closed, I need to weigh in.  We are in the process of adopting Canvas and not having this feature is a major roadblock for our students and staff.  Using only points for quizzes causes confusion among stakeholders.  I truly don't understand why the percentage grade can't be displayed easily.  It must already be calculated in order to calculate the course average.  Please count this as one more vote!

We are piloting Canvas at our school and I agree with you that the inability to control how quiz grades are presented is a major issue.

I love that Canvas is being intentional in creating a better quizzing engine.  However, how long do we have to wait?  The problem of not being able to show a grade as a percentage seems too easy to fix NOW!  This "new" engine has been on the table for over a year.  Many of these posts are over a year old.  C'mon Canvas!  You're usually so much better than this.

Hi Grace,

You are very correct in that creating a new quiz engine from the ground up is a massive undertaking requiring 1000s of development hours and a ton of work from multiple teams.  I believe that Jason talked talked timeline in his presentation at Instructurecon last summer. I can tell you that work is still progressing per the plan.  We thank you for your continuing patience!

Should be a no-brainer...we shouldn't have to vote.  Just my humble opinion!

Any idea if this idea has moved forward towards implementation yet?  I am very interested in using this feature.

We are currently piloting Canvas at our school and within the first 2 weeks I have already received this question/request from roughly half of my instructors. Is there any update on if/when this might be added? I located a thread from two years ago where the ability to display quizzes as a perecentage was requested and it seems to be something that a lot of people are asking about within the Canvas Community. The fact that it still isn't available (as far as I can find) is disappointing. Smiley Sad

Please add the option to grade quizzes with percentage, rather than default to points only.
