[SpeedGrader] Assignment Submission Comments

Problem statement:

Last year, assignment submission comments from teachers would load regardless of how many attempts a student used to submit - so that if a student submitted a third draft or a resubmission of flawed work, teachers could read their own comments on various resubmissions on the same page (without having to click the individual resubmission). In the e-mail below, a teacher noticed this difference between last year's submission comments and how they load and had a conversation about that with Michael - Hi Nicole, Thank you for contacting Canvas Support. My name is Michael, and I’ll be assisting you with your case today. I understand that you wanted to see your comments on your students submission in speedgrader. I checked the Speedgrader and confirmed that the comment are attached on the submission of your students and I tried to replicate it on my own course by doing an assignment with the same settings as yours but it shows me the comment on Speedgrader I've notice the difference. On your Speedgrader it shows "Comments for this attempt" but, on my Speedgrader it shows "Assignment Comments" just like the guide showing below. How do I leave feedback comments for student submissions in SpeedGrader? So I asked assistance from our L2 team and confirmed that the assignment that we checked uses Assignment Enhancement. You can check What is Assignment Enhancements in here. Teachers can not disable this setting. It is set up by admins for the entire instance. You can consult this with an admin if you wish to remove/disable it. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us again. Kind Regards, Michael L1 Canvas Support

Proposed solution:

My hope is that a teacher comment will load on the speedgrader page regardless of which submission it was left on -- the timestamp is all a teacher needs to make sense of when they left the comment. THis prevents teachers from forgetting their prior submission comments or grading unnecessary work.
