For example, being a student org president earns you 15 points, attending an educational campus lecture earns 5 points each,…

Strange Comment Behavior. Text Shifting Out of Place in Sentences
One of our faculty experienced the cursor acting strangely when leaving comments on an assignment. While she was typing the comment box would sometimes shirt her text back to a point in the sentence it did not belong. So "The dog ran across the street" becomes "across the street The dog ran". Has anyone else heard of this?…

Want a true "can exceed" grade posted
While it seems like the "can exceed" function should work for exactly this situation, I can't get it to function properly. I have a quiz that has questions totaling 120 points. I want the maximum score to actually be 120 out of 100…grade inflation in action. If I set the maximum points to be 100 and check "can exceed,"…
