Grade Pass Back: How Canvas "Display Grades As" Selections Transfer to Synergy Scores

How the different "Display Grades As" selections on the Canvas new/edit assignment screen transfer to Synergy via grade pass back.

Canvas assignment creations screen. "Display grade as" pulldown menu with "points" selected.

Examples

Examples of the commonly used options below are based on a 20 point assignment in Canvas.

Percentage

100% in Canvas = 20 points in Synergy
50% in Canvas = 10 points in Synergy, etc.

Complete/Incomplete

"Complete" in Canvas = 20 points in Synergy.
"Incomplete" in Canvas = 0 in Synergy.
"Excused" in Canvas will "exclude" that assignment for the student in Synergy.

Points

20 points in Canvas = 20 points in synergy
15 points in Canvas = 15 points in synergy, etc.

Letter Grade

This depends on the grading scheme you select from the "View Grading Scheme" link you see when selecting this option. Entering a B will apply the highest qualifying percentage for that range.
Example: In the "TTSD Standard Grade Scale 2.0" scheme, 89% is the highest qualifying % for a B so in Synergy, the student will get 17.8 points (20 points x .89 = 17.8 points).

Pro-Tip

In your Canvas grade book, click the three dots for that assignment, select "Enter Grades as," and then "Points" to view the score that will transfer to the Synergy grade book
