Checklists added to the Coursework Tab
I believe that adding "Checklists" into the Coursework Dropdown Menu can help students quickly access all of the checklists that their instructors have created.

Section titles/text in Question Library do not update in Quizzes (and vice versa)
I recently discovered that when the Section Title or Section Text is changed in the Question Library, the updates do not carry over to any Quizzes where that section is used.
