How to Curve Final Grade

[kcastillo2]

Hello all,

What would you recommend to an instructor who wants to curve the final grade? The instructor does not want to curve an individual assignment or even assignment group, but rather the Total grade for the course. Final Grade Override will be tedious for a course of this size, plus the instructor wants students to be able to view their original grade. The course uses weighted percentages for the grades, and there will also be extra credit that will be separate from the final grade curve. Any suggestions on how to set this up?

Hello,

According to Canvas documentation and verifying in my Canvas instance, there is no option to curve the final grade. Final grade override is the only option. 

An alternative is downloading the grade book and putting a formula in the spreadsheet to curve the final grade then, the instructor can just input the new score using final grade override.
