Speed grader is showing the whole forum and not just the student's post

So previously Speed Grader showed only the relevant student's posts. It showed their original post and their replies to other students. That way, I was able to grade the student's posts (with speed).

But now, it just shows the whole forum centered on the student's main post. I have no way of seeing whether the student replied to other students or what those replies are.

How can I go back to the old Speed Grader view?

Hi @MichaelBonner ...

It's possible that your school's admin had turned on the new Checkpoints feature for Discussions ... which affected the view in the SpeedGrader. There's been quite a bit of conversation (some good, some not so good) especially around the new view people are seeing in the SpeedGrader. I'm not sure if you've seen this blog posting yet, but I'd invite you to check out this posting: Addressing Your Feedback on Recent Discussion Checkpoints Changes. Sam includes a link to a survey in her blog posting which you might consider filling out. Also, you can leave your feedback directly below her blog so that she's able to take your comments back to her team for further review.

I hope this will be of some help to you.

Take care...be well.

I was frustrated as well when this happened to me. I was about to grade a discussion post and saw the entire thread. I finally figured out how to use this new feature. It will highlight the student's name that you are grading and then where the speedgrader button is, it will say "next". If you click that it will go to their next reply that they posted. It's the best way to not only see what your student did, but you can see who they were posting to.

I have also found this new SpeedGrader frustrating. However, if I scroll to the top of the screen, I can type in the student's last name (or full name), set it to sort by Oldest First, and make sure the Expand Threads is set to Collapse Threads. This gives me all of the students' posts sorted from Oldest to Newest.

Idea for New Quizzes
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.

Late deduction without an interval
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Language suggestion for groupassignments settings
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader.
