Canvas assignments, rules, and weighting

Is Canvas displaying an accurate grade to your students? If not, consider using Canvas assignment groups, rules, and weighting to increase the accuracy of your course grade books. To do this, you need to learn how to set up assignment groups, add rules to assignment groups, and weight assignment groups (see links below for guides on each item). As an added bonus for you, mastering the use of these features could someday mean you will be able to import grades from Canvas to MyRed directly without inaccuracies or fuss!
