This was in the old gradebook but was somehow left out of the new gradebook.
Canvas defaults to two decimal places. While this is good for an instructor to see, often in HS and Middle School grades are used for athletic and other extracurricular eligibility. Schools don't want parents arguing over a few hundredths of a percentage point. We would like to have the options to set the rounding to zero, one, or two decimal places for the total columns the students and parents/observers see.
This option would need to also impact the application of the grading scheme. For example, we currently have to have the grading scheme set to a C- beginning at 69.5% instead of what is published in handbooks as 70% because of how canvas applies the rounding.
These settings need to be able to be set at an account and sub-account level.
For example:
A student has a 69.49%
The option would allow the students and parents to see:
- Rounding to zero decimal places: 69%
- Rounding to one decimal place: 69.5%
- Rounding to two decimal places: 69.49%
