Unpublished Grades but Shows Grade Distribution (Image attached)

[SonicDash142]

On the student end, I see the grade distribution but not my grade? Is there a feature on Canvas that makes this possible where the grader hid the grades but somehow allows the distribution to be shown?

Hi @SonicDash142,

Thank you for the screenshot.

From what I can see, it seems like your instructor needs to finish grading the "Midterm Exam" and that is why the "rockship icon" appears next to the "100".

This is common if a quiz/test/exam has essay questions that need to be manually graded and is common.

Even if not related to essay questions needing to be manually graded, it is possible for an instructor to hold off on releasing grades for gradable items (such as discussions, assignments, quizzes/tests/exams) so that everyone's grade is released all at once instead of immediately after a student has taken/submitted it.

Have you asked your instructor if grades have been released for the "Midterm Exam"?

Hello @SonicDash142  and welcome to the Community.  This is a great question to talk to your teacher about.  Yes, there are ways for the grader to show the distribution and not the grade.  This is sometimes done if there are still people who need to submit the assignment, or the teacher just prefers not to show the grade.  Check with your teacher!  Best of luck!
