On a short essay assignment, I asked students to write between 600 and 750 words. I tasked them with entering directly into the text box provided on Canvas.

Where can the word count of a student submission be seen?

Thanking anyone in advance who can help me with this issue. wordcount essays #limit words

Hi  @s_hyland .  As far as I know there is no word count option in SpeedGrader, thought the feature has been requested (see https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/3454-word-count-for-speedgrader-grading" modifiedtitle="true" ...).  If you feel that this request fits your need, I would suggest voting it up.  In the comments to this feature idea, the use of browser extensions came up.  An extension that counts words may be an option to look in to.

All the best!
