Add the "equation editor" for the quiz type of question "Numeric".  It is extremely limiting not to be able to insert a fraction as an answer. Only integers and decimals are accepted. No fraction bars or slashes.

The options that are allowed for point ranges don't make any sense. If I want the top values to be 5-4 points, then the next box down should be 3-2 points, not 4-2 points. Unfortunately, it automatically fills in the "4" for the lower value. So "4 po...

Once I enter the point values that I am giving the student for each criteria, it used to put the total points into the grade box. It is not doing this anymore. How do I get the points from the rubric to enter as the grade?

I am trying to build a rubric with ranges eg 6-4, 1-3 and 0 in one criterion.  It will not allow me to manually add the range and defaults. For example, I add 6-4 then when i add the next one to be 1-3 it changes the 6-4 to 6-3.

Why can't Canvas fix it so that assignments don't require points? An incomplete/complete assignment with feedback, but no points should be possible. Like, now. Frustrated!
