Let Canvas do some of your grading for you! Use the default grading tool to assign a default grade to any assignment. Canvas can apply this grade to all students or only to students who have not yet received a grade for the assignment. *
EXAMPLE: An assignment is past due and all the submissions have been graded. Set a default grade of “0” for the assignment and Canvas will autofill a “0” for anyone that hasn’t turned it in.
⚠️ *DO NOT click “Overwrite already-entered grades” when you set the default grade if you do not want Canvas to change the grades you have already entered.
