Dear Canvas Community,
I am a Canvas administrator and instructor. We have three course sections that need to be cross-listed into one course shell. Two sections follow an 8-week schedule (Part A: Weeks 1–8 and Part B: Weeks 9–16), while the third section runs for 16 weeks (Weeks 1–16). The course content is designed for 16 weeks, with instructors initially publishing modules for Weeks 1–8 and then releasing the remaining modules (Weeks 9–16) at the start of Week 9.
Cross-listing works smoothly for grading during Weeks 1–8, as both the 16-week section and Part A section run concurrently. However, starting in Week 9, we face a challenge with the Part B section:
- The 16-week section requires midterm grades.
- The Part A section requires final grades.
- The Part B section begins in Week 9, meaning students in this section should not yet have any graded assignments.
We are looking for a solution to manage this cross-listed setup while ensuring students’ grades remain accurate and appropriately reported. If anyone has experience handling a similar situation or suggestions for best practices, we would greatly appreciate your insights.
Thank you!
