I just followed the instructions to copy an announcement to other courses. However, the announcement doesn't show up in students' "to do" lists – at least not in my student view. How will students know this announcement has been posted?

Is it possible to publish only the comments, but not the grade? I'd love to give feedback to my students, but not let them know the grade for each task. I tried hiding the grades, but that way the comments don't appear.
