Total number of responses to discussion posts?

[NNewburn]

Is there a way to get a total number of responses that a student has made to discussion posts (non-graded)? I have given discussion questions as exit tickets throughout the quarter, and I simply want a number of times a student has responded without having to go through every day and checking.

Hi @NNewburn,

I'm not aware of a way to view the total number discussions responses by student. There is a feature idea for adding functionality similar to what I think you're looking for: See all of a student's posts together. If you'd like to support that idea, you can rate it and/or add a comment.

@NNewburn  If you'd like to venture into the world of easy-to-use user scripts, check out this Canvancement from James Jones:  How to Count Student Discussion Posts. This excellent solution assisted me in offering an extra credit participation activity for my students!
