Use an Assignment to remove points?

[JustinHugill]

Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place, I've been thrown into Canvas with zero knowledge.

Is there a way of removing points automatically from a Students grading.

For instance, if there were two assignments as below:

Final Physical hand in - Graded out of 100

Digital Files upload - Marked as a Complete/Incomplete.

If a student would have got a 65 out of 100 for their physical hand in, but their Digital files were not uploaded and this is marked as incomplete, I would want their grade to drop 10 points to 55.

I hope this makes sense, so far the additional assignment just adds points if complete.

We are trying to streamline workload and marking.

Thanks

@JustinHugill You can't remove points like that, unfortunately.

But you can make the "digital files upload" assignment as an assignment that doesn't count towards final grading and then grade the physical hand in by grading it and applying the points penalty when you enter in the points on the assignment or through the Canvas gradebook. 

Hopefully this makes sense!
