Assignment Name

Note: If mapping to an existing assignment in Gradient, it is helpful to use the same name, but not required to match.

Points

Points in Canvas should match the point value of the assignment in Gradient. If the point value in Canvas is different from the point value in Gradient, the score in Canvas will adjust with appropriate scale factor to match your setting.

Example: If the test in Gradient is worth 5 points but in Canvas, it is set to 10 points, a student will receive the following score in Canvas: Scale factor is 2 then...

• 5 pts in Gradient = 10 pts in Canvas
• 4 pts in Gradient = 8 pts in Canvas
• 3 pts in Gradient = 6 pts in Canvas
• 2 pts in Gradient = 4 pts in Canvas
• 1 pt in Gradient = 2 pts in Canvas
