Revise and resubmit assignment

I wish to create a "revise and resubmit" assignment. A student can rewrite an essay and submit it as a new assignment (preserving the original assignment and its grade). So my question is: is it possible to set up a new assignment, then have its grade be averaged with the evaluation on the original assignment?

It would look something like this:

Assignment 01: What happened in the 1940s?... 10 points

Assignment 01 Revise and Resubmit: What happened in the 1940s? Rewrite ...10 points

The two grades would then be automatically averaged together in the Gradebook.

Is this possible to do in Canvas?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi @michaeljkramer 

This is currently not possible in Canvas.

What I do with two-part assignments is create a two-part rubric. Grade first submission with Part A, and second submission with Part B. The rubrics sum the the two amounts, but do not average. You could get tricky with your math on criteria amounts, though, but seems like a lot of work.

Or, you could suggest this a feature enhancement in Idea Conversations in this community.

I hope this helps,

Kelley
