I run a Culinary school, and we've switched to Canvas this year.  

I typically use attendance/participation as a large portion of each students grade, as we are primarily teaching hands on principles, with limited canvas based assignments.  

Is there a way to attach a 10 point grade per day of attendance, that can be reduced for various reasons;  tardiness, not showing up in proper uniform, leaving early, not participating, not cleaning, etc?

This is the way I've handled it in the past, basically just on a spreadsheet in excel, and input that grade every week or so into the grading platform we've used in the past.

any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Chef Bert
