I teach classes that I am able to use New Quizzes and automate a lot of the grading. But I want students to ask me questions about their work. The assignment comments are *perfect* for this because I get a link directly to the assignment (no scrolling through hundreds of students and hundreds of assignments! working with a name that may not be correct). I can see the student's question and the quiz question the student is asking about right there on the same page. And I can respond to them and add points from the same page. This is exactly what I want to do.
However, getting to the assignment comments is more complicated than it should be. I have to explain how to do it a million times, and I suspect that not having the option right there from the assignment they've just taken or are taking means that some students just aren't going to ask their questions.
Make the assignment comments pane in New Quizzes more easily accessible to students. They should be able to open it while they are taking a quiz, or at the very least, open it from the results page. They should not have to go in a click-mission in order to ask a question about their work. It is disruptive, inefficient, and a deterrent to students staying focused.
