I want to have students participate in ten of the 15 discussions. I was considering using the "Excused" feature and so each student is allowed five "Excuses." But, if students participate in more than ten discussions, I want to use the ten highest scores. The problem is I cannot think of a good way to do this. I cannot use the "drop" feature, because the number of discussions that will be dropped will vary from student to student. There is no "keep the highest" scores function.
Actually, I know that I could use the drop feature if I dropped the lowest five discussion grades and put "0's" for missed discussions (instead of "Excused"). The problem with that is I like to let the students see their grades in Canvas throughout the semester, and with this approach any 0's are not dropped until week 6 and then all but one grade is dropped.
