I need to reach out to a fellow student in my class so I may submit a project before the deadline, with canvas, I am not able to see his email as we could in Sakai.
Each user role in Canvas courses is assigned specific permissions. Generally these permissions are set up by the Canvas administrator for your institution.
The ability to view other users' email addresses on the People menu is controlled by a permission called Users - view primary email address. By default, students in Canvas have this permission disabled; refer to the Canvas Course Role Permissions resource document for information about the default roles and permissions in Canvas.
You mentioned, "I am not able to see his email as we could in Sakai," which makes me wonder if your institution changed LMS systems. If so, it might be worth asking your Canvas admin to see if this permission can be turned on.

I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…

I want the student to then submit an assignment, or quiz/survey answering a few questions about the specific scenario. The assignment/Quiz is ust to…

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic".
