The Canvas Gradebook will automatically generate a column for any graded assignments, quizzes, surveys, or discussions you build. Combine Assignment Group weights with a course Grading Scheme and let the Canvas Gradebook do the calculating for you. One of the best features in the Gradebook is the ability to quickly sort and message students using the "Message Students Who..." feature. You can also export the Gradebook and import grades using .csv files. Be sure to check out the View Gradebook Menu options, Grade Posting Policies, and Missing and Late Policies.
