I was trying to sent an assignment as an editable Google Doc for students so that it made a copy for each student. However, some logged in before the document was completely updated and now they are missing information on thier assignment. How can I change it so that they have the updated Google Doc?

What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
