Is there an update on an optional setting for displaying word counts in student submissions? All of my discussion and assignments require minimum word counts. Not having a word count display like in Moodle and Blackboard has made my grading time significantly longer. I am wondering if this is an option that is already available and I have simply missed it, or if it is something that is currently (or being considered) in development.
