Understanding Grades vs. Grading vs. Grade Book Structure
In Canvas, student scores are handled in a few different places, depending the task at hand. On the Assignments page of the course, instructors can create assignments as well as manage all of the other graded activities to determine the structure of the course final grade. Grading, which is the assigning of points to student submissions, is most often handled in the Speedgrader tool that is available from within each activity.
