Hi @JamesKCOS,
You are correct that web Canvas no longer has the description field for New Quizzes. I can't exactly pinpoint when this changed, but I think it's likely intended behavior as that field does not appear in any of the New Quizzes guides either. Instead of using the description field in the assignment area, you can utilize the Instructions field in the Build area of the quiz. It's likely that the Canvas apps will catch up with this eventually as well, as they do usually lag behind web Canvas a bit.
I hope this helps a bit!

Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
