Does Canvas calculate the percentage of a class that achieves a grade of C or better for an assignment?

@lpscranton I am not 100% sure what you are asking.  A "C" is determined by whatever grading scheme you are using which may or may not even include a C (the class can be set however you want so I have faculty that do not include a C range).  

Basically Canvas is just doing the math to calculate a percentage based on the points.  For example 9 out of 10 points is a 90%.  It can then apply a letter grade based on that percent which is determined by how you setup your grading scheme.  I feel like most commonly a 90% = A- but I have seen all kinds of different letter grade setup.  

Here are some guides on grading schemes that might be helpful.

Hope this helps!
