Sections and Peer Reviews

I use Peer Reviews extensively. I teach photo and digital art across many sections. The functionality needs to improve around sections. I find it very difficult that I cannot at the very least sort or filter students by section in the peer review panel. Manually assigning 50 kids is awful. Has anyone figured out a workaround? Is this change being considered?

Thanks!

If you do end up allowing automatic group creation restricted by section, make sure it can account for users being in multiple sections (as group creation doesn't do that and it's a real problem for us).

Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
