I would like to be able to set up a grading scheme that is based on point ranges and not percentages. Having to convert the points to percentages is extra work and leads to unclear feedback to students. Blackboard LMS is capable of this, so should canvas.

It would also be helpful to set a maximum number of points that someone can earn in a category. For instance, I allow students to earn up to 100 points for quizzes and give them 14 possible quizzes each worth 10 points. I will count points from any number of quizzes up to 100 total so dropping a number of assignments is not a solution for this. This also leads to student confusion because of inaccurate grading feedback being presented to students.
