Our K-12 district is transitioning to outcomes-based grading, and as the only school using Canvas, I’ve been navigating much of this through trial and error. I’ve created a formatted CSV with outcomes for two courses and specified decaying_average as the calculation_method. However, when I import the file into the outcomes section of my subaccount, Canvas defaults to weighted_average instead.
Interestingly, it does appear to accept my calculation_int as expected. Canvas accepts the CVS without reporting errors.
Has anyone else experienced this, or know a way to ensure the correct calculation method is applied?
