Rubric Ranges

[mbazluki]

Hi all,

Having trouble with using the range feature in the rubrics.  I want the range to be 8-6, 5-3, 2-0.

What Canvas does is 8-6, 6-3, 3-0.  This is not what I want.

Is there a way to have it do the ranges I want?  Is there a vote already started with this issue?

Thanks,

Marjorie

 @mbazluki , correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the range should show up on the rubric like this: 8 to >6 pts, 6 to >3 pts, 3 to > 0pts.

If the range was 8-6, 5-3, 2-0, then where would a 5.5 or 2.2 go on the rubric? The range values that Canvas uses takes into account that the first category can be any value from 8 to greater than 6, the second is 6 to greater than 3, and the third is 3 to greater than 0. Based on this we can correctly put the 5.5 value in the second category and the 2.2 in the third category. Does this help/make sense?

Yet, I also know others would like the range values tweaked as well, so I would also recommend voting and commenting on this feature idea - https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/10294-change-rubric-point-range-to-equal-or-more-than

Actually, I would want the 6 to belong at the low end in the range 8-6, with the next range starting as <6. My problem with the range is that if I want to give 6 points (which appears in both the higher and lower range) Canvas shows it as being the lower range. If 6 (out 10) = 60% that is a D- (60%) but Canvas would display it as an F. Not cool.

I will check out the idea you recommend: Change rubric point range to "equal or more than"
