Hello @jsme_45 , You will need to make 2 assignment groups because Assignments A and B are not "contributing equally" to the final grade. Canvas does not allow you to weight individual assignments towards the final grade, only assignment groups. Canvas treats all assignments within an assignment group equally so if you need to weight individual assignments differently the workaround is to put them into their own assignment groups.

@jdanley , I am also not a fan of everything getting put into the downloads folder. It's probably a combination of your browser settings and/or what your default PDF viewer is. If the default is to always open a pdf with acrobat instead of Chrome's built-in pdf reader it will do what you are describing. To make Chrome always ask you were to save see the "Change download locations" section of the Download a file help page for Chrome. To set PDFs to open with Chrome go to: > Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Additional Content Settings > PDF documents

I'm looking for a way to interpret the "page view csv" file. I know that on the How do I view the page views for a user in an account? guide: Descriptions of Page Views CSV column headings can be found in the the Canvas Users API documentation. Unfortunately (for me) my knowledge of API is a very basic understanding of what they do and not having an understanding of programming, the API documentation is not helpful to me. Does anyone know of a "layman's guide" to understanding those files? I'm not looking to become all knowing, just to know that if I see "assignments" in the "controller" column it means ____. If you know about these things and want to give it to me straight (that unless I learn how to use/write APIs I'm not going to understand it) that would be welcome too. Thanks!

I have built something similar to this in the past. Our solution was to give questions on-at-a-time, prevent backtracking, and link to the patient information needed on each question. For example the first set of questions would have the intake info linked in them. The 2nd would have the intake info and initial test results. The 3rd would have the intake info, initial test results, and reassessment info. Admittedly not the prettiest of builds, but it got the job done.

Both Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes allow the use of question-level feedback (correct, incorrect, general) and answer-level feedback (feedback specific to the answer option selected). However when a Classic Quiz is migrated to a New Quiz any question-level feedback for answering the question correctly is imported as both question-level correct feedback and answer-level feedback for the correct answer. This overrides any existing answer-level feedback for the correct answer and created answer-level feedback for the correct answer. The question-level correct feedback in a Classic Quiz should only be migrated to question-level correct feedback in a New Quiz. It should not override any existing answer-level feedback or create answer-level feedback when there is none. Bellow are two examples of how the current migration process handles feedback. In this example, I included feedback at both the answer and question level on the classic quiz, but after migration the answer-level feedback for the correct answer option was overwritten by the question-level feedback for answering the question correctly. After migration the answer-feedback for the first option (Aenean nec lorem) should be "Comments, if the student chooses this answer: Aenean nec lorem." Instead it has been replaced with "Correct Answer Comments" which is the question-level feedback for answering the question correctly In this example, there was no answer-level feedback for the correct answer "Aenean nec lorem", but during migration the question-level feedback for getting the question correct has been put into the answer-level feedback.

When migrating a quiz from classic to new any question-level feedback for answering the question correctly is migrated as correct answer feedback overriding any existing answer-level feedback for that answer option and creating answer-level feedback if none exists. This does not happen with question/answer-level feedback for incorrect answers. In this example I included feedback at both the answer and question level on the classic quiz, but after migration the answer-level feedback for the correct answer option was overwritten by the question-level feedback for answering the question correctly. In this example there was no answer-level feedback for the correct answer but there was question-level feedback for the correct answer. After migration the question-level feedback was put in at the answer-level.

@rexj, It worked! I must have been looking everywhere except the bottom right corner. Thank you.
