Graded discussions and Speed Grader

I have two classes that both have graded discussions. In one, the speed grader works properly and shows me their posts and responses to peers. In the other, I cannot see their posts in Speed Grader. My only option is to view the whole discussion and search by name for each student. Can you please tell me how to fix it so Speed Grader works correctly?

Hi @LisaColón , we see this sometimes happening in some courses as well. Often this is due to a setting for large courses. Click on Settings in the course menu > find the section 'Large Courses' and uncheck 'Launch SpeedGrader Filtered by Student Group' > scroll down and save this.

I also just tried, and it didn't work as well. I am so so frustrated because grading discussions has become MUCH harder with all of the threads shown. I don't understand at all why it has changed with our new update in 2025. UGH!

Having the same issue. I last graded discussions on Jan. 6th and this did not happen. I won't be able to grade like this. I have huge class!

Agreed. Just thought I'd share because it had me stumped. It takes a good bit longer in my classes of 100 to get it done . . . But students get docked automatically for being late. They don't ask us, they just upgrade . . .

New Speedgrader UI Showing Student Names

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
