Problem statement:
From my understanding, to effectively implement course pacing, it is crucial to arrange items in a sequential order corresponding to when we want assessments to be opened or due.
However, for the sake of clarity, we have divided "Assignments" and "Quizzes" into separate sections within a module (for instance, Assignments at the top and Quizzes at the end).
Due to the way we organise items in a module, currently, we can't assign identical due dates to both assignments and quizzes within the same module. This limitation stems from the fact that the "Days" for each item are dependent on the preceding item's date. The only way to achieve this is by altering the sequential order of items in the module (e.g., Assignment -> Quiz -> Quiz -> Assignment).
Proposed solution:
I understand that the waterfall-style setting simplifies the configuration of pacing days. However, having the option (E.g. a checkbox next to each item) to set pacing days from the start date of the pace will provide the flexibility to organise items freely within a module.
