[ARCHIVED] Why is it so hard to see a simple assignment average?

[noresponsefromt]

I set up a course. I enter an exam.  What's the average? Oh, canvas can't tell me. I have to set up "Analytics" which apparently takes 24 hours.  To do what?  I can fly to Japan in less time. What is Canvas doing? Why doesn't the average just appear on the gradesheet like common sense dictates?

Canvas is growing to be one of the most feature-bloated pieces of junk ever. I seriously can't wait until something comes along and knocks it off its perch.

 @noresponsefromt ‌, assignment averages display in Speedgrader, as depicted in the View Assignment Details section of https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12774-415255021

Hello  @noresponsefromt 

While I too am sometimes concerned about feature bloat, I do note that Quiz statistics are available, including an item analysis I regularly use. See screenshot below................

• For the legacy Quizzes tool: Once I publish a quiz, what kinds of quiz statistics are available? 
• For New Quizzes: How do I view reports for an assessment in New Quizzes? 

Canvas maintains a very excellent set of guides for users, and you might find the Canvas Instructor Guide to be a great reference.

I hope this helps,

Kelley

I think we all understand how to use speedgrader. We just are frustrated that you can't see average/low/high scores for each assignment in the gradebook. The old gradebook used to show this. WHY DID THIS FUNCTION DISAPPEAR?
