Question restatement:
- The prompt asks which statements about the Canvas Grades tab are true and to choose the 2 best answers from the options provided.

Option 1: "If there is a dash or line in the score column, the assignment has been submitted but not yet graded."
- This statement describes a common visual indicator in grade tables where a dash or line can signify a placeholder for a score that has not yet been entered. It aligns with the idea that a missing numeric grade often corresponds to an ungraded submission, rather than a rejection or a different status. However, the exact meaning of a dash or line can depend on the specific LMS configuration, and some systems may use a dash for missing data while others might use a note like “Not graded” or leave the cell empty. Therefore, while plausible, it is important to verify this indicator against the Canvas documentation or your course’s grading scheme to confirm its meaning in your instance.

Option 2: "If you uncheck the box \"Calculate based only on graded assignments,\" your Total Score includes work you have not yet submitted, treating all unsubmitted assignments as 0s."
- This statement describes a cumulative scoring mode where the default behavior ( Calculate based only on graded assignments ) can be toggled. When you do not limit the calculation to graded items, the system typically includes unsubmitted items as zeroes, effectively lowering the total score to reflect incomplete work. This behavior is consistent with many grading schemes that penalize missing work by assigning zeroes in the overall total once you expand beyond graded items. It reflects a mathematical reality: including unsubmitted work as zeros will lower or change the Total Score relative to a graded-only view.

Option 3: "If you check the box \"Calculate based only on graded assignments,\" your Total Score reflects only the work you have already submitted."
- This option asserts that selecting the graded-only calculation confines the total to submitted work. In practice, calculating based only on graded assignments typically means the total is computed using the subset of assignments that have been graded, not necessarily all submitted assignments if some submissions exist but have not been graded yet. If a submission has been submitted but not yet graded, it may not contribute to the Total Score in a graded-only view. Therefore, this option’s phrasing could be interpreted as true only if it means “only include items that have been graded,” which excludes ungraded submissions even if submitted, and excludes unsubmitted items entirely. The nuance is that “graded” is the key qualifier, not “submitted.” If some submissions are submitted but not graded, they would not count toward the Total Score in this mode; if there are graded items, those contribute.

Synthesis and careful distinction:
- Option 1 focuses on a visual indicator (dash/line) and its meaning as likely signifying an ungraded submission. While plausible, it is contingent on Canvas configuration and may require corroboration with official documentation.
- Option 2 relies on the behavioral rule that turning off the graded-only constraint includes unsubmitted work as zeros, which is a standard interpretation in many gradebooks when calculating a total that includes unsubmitted items.
- Option 3 hinges on the interpretation of the phrase \"Calculate based only on graded assignments.\" It implies the total includes only assignments that have been graded, which would exclude both ungraded submissions and unsubmitted items from the total, aligning with the idea that only graded work contributes to the Total Score in that view. The precise impact can vary if there are different states of submission versus grading in Canvas.

Potential misconceptions to watch for:
- Assuming a dash in the score column always means ungraded without considering the system’s layout customization.
- Assuming that unchecking graded-only automatically manipulates all unsubmitted items to zero without nuance about whether unsubmitted items are considered in the calculation when not in graded-only mode.
- Concluding that graded-only equals submitted-only without accounting for the possibility that some submitted items may still be ungraded and thus excluded from the total.

In practice, to determine which statements are truly true for a given Canvas setup, you would compare the documented behavior of the Grades tab (including how dashes are rendered and how the Total Score is computed under each calculation option) with what you observe in your course. The analysis above highlights how each option could be interpreted and where common pitfalls lie when reading such descriptions.
