Prior to the last upgrade (last week) discussions (when viewed from the grading side) displayed the date that the student first posted on the discussion board.  Since this last upgrade, it has reverted to the old system of recording the last date that the student posted. PLEASE switch back!!!  The former saved so much grading time.  Now we have to go in and search each student to see if they submitted their initial post on time.  No bueno.  : /

This is to double check that you have the right grade in for the right student.

It would be amazing and very efficient if the quick grade function on the portal loaded up with a blank variable and have the cursor automatically selected for input, so that all we have to do is click the quick grade button and just type in a number and press enter to confirm without having to click drag over the number, type in number, and press the submit grade button.
