This has been a feature request for seven years - can something finally be done about it? I know there are workarounds, but finding ways to manage rubrics efficiently should be a priority!

jamin_hoffman · ‎02-24-2022

I second (or third - or 322nd!) the 16 pages of comments on this topic made by professional educators over the years, many (including me) more than once. If Instructure is not going to implement this feature, they should explain why. I think it's a perfectly reasonable request, especially in light of what has happened since COVID. We need a response on this, please!

I need this, too! Typing in the parameters of using an external tool each time I create an assignment is not efficient. I would prefer to be able to copy the assignment, including the rubric.

I still have the issue, but I have found that it helps (sometimes) if I exit Canvas and then re-open it before previewing the quiz. Jamin

I found out how to fix this problem! It was bugging me that I had no problem deleting other assignment groups, even if they had lots of assignments in them, but this one assignment group had the "delete" option grayed out, so it wouldn't let me delete it. [FWIW - when I deleted other assignment groups, it asked me whether I wanted to delete all the assignments or move them to another group; this group did not present me with that option, either.] I discovered that the issue was that I had one "locked" assignment within that assignment group. So, to fix it, I had to go into the master course and then unlock that assignment there. After doing that, I could delete this assignment group just like I had done for the other assignment groups. This was a lot easier than deleting each of the assignments one by one (I had over fifty of them), which was the default suggestion from several people I spoke to about this issue. Jamin

I've done it before, and it gave me the option of either (1) deleting the assignments, or (2) moving the assignments to another group. It's not doing that, this time. Jamin

jamin_hoffman · ‎08-30-2021

That's where I am - but the "Delete" option is grayed out.

jamin_hoffman · ‎08-26-2021

I am trying to delete some old assignment groups for a new class (the assignments are showing up as blank, unpublished columns in the Canvas grade book), but the "delete" option is grayed out. Do I have to delete each assignment piecemeal? There's a LOT of them! Is there a fix for this? Jamin

jamin_hoffman · ‎04-26-2021

Another upvote for this feature!

jamin_hoffman · ‎04-26-2021

I agree with @NateCannon - why hasn't this been done, yet?

jamin_hoffman · ‎04-26-2021

Just another upvote (again) for this idea, which is way past due!

jamin_hoffman · ‎04-26-2021

I agree! This would save me a lot of time when I need to make the same changes to grade books in several different classes (as seems to come up frequently).

jamin_hoffman · ‎03-11-2021

I realize I have already made the last two comments on this, but I get more and more frustrated about this every time I have to go "the long way 'round" to get back to the dashboard! Please put this suggestion into practice!

jamin_hoffman · ‎03-11-2021

PLEASE make this happen! It's really clumsy to grade one student with a late assignment, and then have to go through two screens to get to the late assignment from a different class with a different students, and then have to go through two screens . . . (you get the idea!)

jamin_hoffman · ‎02-05-2021

Sometimes, I accidentally put a grade - using a rubric - for the wrong student. Is there a way to "undo" the grade, clearing out the rubric so no grade is recorded? I can change the grade to a zero, but that makes it look like the student received a zero grade on the assignment, which would (understandably) bother many of my students. When I have to do this, I also put a note in the comments explaining it, but I'd rather avoid this issue completely, if possible. Thanks in advance for your consideration! Jamin

jamin_hoffman · ‎02-03-2021

After I make a quiz, I always like to take it to make sure I didn't make a mistake making the quiz, and to see how it will look to the student. I know I can use Student View, but I have to publish the quiz in order to get that to work, which I don't always want to do right away (I know I can unpublish it quickly, but I have actually had eagle-eyed students hop on and take a quiz I was just checking out like this before I had a chance to unpublish it!). ANYWAY - so I use Preview to take the quiz, and everything seems fine. When I "submit" the previewed quiz and go back to check the answers, it shows a weird behavior as I am trying to look it over. The quiz "jumps" and "resets" on the screen (I can't think of better words to describe the behavior), and won't let me scroll down past the first few questions to check out the answers. I want it to stop doing this! I suppose I could send someone a screencast demonstrating what is going on, if that's helpful . . .

jamin_hoffman · ‎01-19-2021

While I would still like for this change/addition to happen, I do want to point out the suggestion posted by @gnoack above: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-move-or-reorder-a-module/ta-p/1150 Once you create (and scroll down to) the new module, you can just click on the three vertical dots on the right side, and select "Move module" to move it to the top. I had missed this procedure, before, and it has made things a lot easier since I discovered it!

jamin_hoffman · ‎01-11-2021

Unfortunately, when I installed this I was no longer able to access my "Files" through the menu (the list was blank), so I deleted the Tampermonkey extension, and I was able to see my "Files" again. I tried reinstalling it on a later date, using a different server (school vs. home), but had the same problem, so I deleted it again, and have not reinstalled it. Access to my "Files" is more important to me! Did anyone else have this issue?

jamin_hoffman · ‎01-04-2021

Yes, yes, yes! I do this, too, and would really appreciate this addition!

jamin_hoffman · ‎11-25-2020

And again, yes! I would love to be able to grade an assignment in Speedgrader, and then go directly back to the Dashboard to grab the next ungraded assignment in the "To Do" list, regardless of which class the assignment is for. This would save me a lot of time and superfluous clicks!
