I know the typical way to calculate grades is to add up points and/or average scores. I'm looking for a way to return a non-passing grade on a course or assessment if ANY part of an assessment rubric gets scored below a 3 (meets expectations).
I looked at the "calculation method" on the Outcomes page but none of the options work for this form of competency-based education (CBE) grading. Example rubric: (1) I can take off safely. (2) I can land the plane safely. It doesn't work to average the scores (4 on taking off and 2 on landing) and say they passed with a 3. They need a 3 or higher in each area to pass.
Thanks in advance!

@TomCaswell I don't think there is a way to return a failing grade if a student fails just one criterion on a rubric. These have been my recommendations to implement styles of grading where passing overall requires passing each component (at the assignment & course levels) using the grading tools available in Canvas.
- Grade each assignment as all or nothing (100% or 0%).
- Explain (on the syllabus) that the course & assignment grading are all pass/fail, so they pass the course if they get 100% and otherwise fail.
- Rubrics (like those with 5 point scales) should not be used for grading, but they may be attached to assignments to help shape substantive feedback.
- If students are allowed to skip some assignments, assignment group drop rules can be set.
