In my course, students earn their grade by submitting their homework (75 points), I give 4 tests, each one worth 100 points (400 points total), and a final exam (125 points).

Markdowns automatic in Content Editor?
Hello, I was just curious if there was a way to turn automatic markdown updates off, whether it's a browser setting or a setting in Brightspace. Like if I wanted to italicize something, I'd do " * Italicize this *", without the spaces. You can really do it with anything on this: Thanks!

Save button unresponsive on quiz creation
Made a quiz and tried to save it, but the save button is unresponsive. I ended up hitting the "back" button, and it of course warned me that it would delete any unsaved data, which is what happened. I figured it was a fluke, maybe I got signed out on D2L/internet dropped out, etc. So I made a new quiz and put in a bunch of…

Subtotal Color Scheme
I have set up a color scheme for my quizzes and applied it to all of my quizzes. (The same scheme for all quizzes.)
