The navigation in Canvas is terrible. Why aren't most menus showing a simple link to see the grades in one single page?  1) This class page doesn't show me anything useful (no scores, not concise) and no link to the summary of the grades. 2) Once finally found, why are the grades sorted from oldest to newest with no possibility to see easily recent grades?  I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see if recent homeworks and exams were graded. 3) Why is the only link to Grades is a button on the dashboard  located at the bottom right of the screen , often hidden unless we scroll. . It should be in the left menu. It should also be on every classes page. 4) What I need is an easily accessible one-page scores & grade summary for each class.    🔎 This idea has been archived.

If a work is unscored, there should be a label identifying it as such alongside "missing", "late" There is no way to differentiate between work that has not yet been scored "not yet scored" , work that is "missing score" because the teacher failed to enter the score by the deadline" and a "zero score" Canvas should not assume that teachers will never miss the deadline to enter scores and just show those as zero. Timestamp should show if a real zero was raised to a new score or if a unscored work was scores on a later day. ... View more
