I type my comment, then click "Submit"--but when I move to the next student submission, SpeedGrader has created a second blank comment automatically and stops me to ask if I want to save it as a draft.…
How can I remove a course from Canvas that I am not teaching?
I have created the letter grading scheme below. I want to give students a 4.1 on their assessments to show that they exceeded (A+) expectations.

Yes, I can "x" out the other 9 courses worth of work, but it reappears with the next submission in any of those courses. I was…
I teach students of varying math levels and set up the course to have each module as a different subject. Within each module is lessons 1-30 and include assignments for each lesson called Worksheet A, Worksheet C, Worksheet E, Test, etc. It took hours to get it set up based on the way you can add assignments to modules.…
