I need students to be able to enter numerical answers that are very small in quizzes. The site keeps rounding my answer down to 0 if I have anything smaller than 0.00005. Am I doing something wrong? Why can't canvas handle small numbers? There must be many other courses in the sciences and math have encountered this. Surely there is some solution I did not find by googling. Small numbers like this are very frequently encountered in many courses.
