Instructors should have the option of disabling (or hiding) the "Assignment" column in Grades. I have had several students misunderstand the percentage displayed in their personal grades. They might see 80% and misconstrue that as they are achieving 80% in the course, when they are not. They may have 80% of their assignments done BUT they may have scored poorly. Hence, the student comes to the instructor at the end of the semester and says they thought they were getting a "B." I would like the option of hiding the "Assignment" column in Grades.
Assignment column in Grades

Hello, Randy Beecher
Welcome to the Canvas Community! To clarify, are you requesting the ability to hide or disable assignment group columns? From your description, it sounds like you're in a course that has all of the graded course activities listed in a single assignment group—called "Assignments"—whereas many instructors use multiple assignment groups and so will have multiple group columns that appear in the Gradebook and in students' Grades view.
Thanks.
