Problem statement: I know that in New Quizzes, we can apply a single student's accommodations (extra time or attempts) to all of their Canvas Quizzes; however, some teachers have *many* students in a single class who have the same accommodation (e.g., time-and-a-half), and it can get tedious and repetitive to set the same accommodation for each student individually. Proposed solution: It would be more efficient / convenient to be able to select *multiple* students at the same time for which to set the same accommodation(s). I would imagine this could be accomplished via a column of tick boxes to the left of student names, where you can select multiple students, then click the pencil icon or moderate button to set the same accommodation(s) for all of the selected students.

Problem statement: Just as teachers are able to view Quiz statistics, it would be nice to be able to generate Assignment Statistics, especially for text-based assignment submissions. Specifically, I have a teacher wanting to view and export word count data for all essays submitted to one assignment. She would like to be able to view/export a table of assignment statistics showing each student's name and their essay's word count. Proposed solution: On the Assignment page, have a button for Assignment Statistics (similar to the Quiz Statistics button available on a Quiz's page). To make the feature worthwhile, submission time and score could be included in the report. . . but the main concern is to make accessible to instructors a table containing assignment data that isn't currently accessible in one place (such as word count).
