An earlier note on the same topic, and a couple of related suggestions (comments) in case someone goes to work on this:

> A few points (questions) on assignment grading;
> 
> 1) It seems to me (!) that if a faculty submits an assignment for a student, this should
> override any data limitations.
> 
> Otherwise why would they be submitting it?
> Typically it is because of some late situation, and the student has asked for an exception and
> a late submission.
> 
> Now it seems like even a faculty has to change the deadline, then submit, and then restore
> the original dates (both for other current students in the course, and for future clones of
> the course) - Lots of clicking-around for a simple task.
> 
> Shouldn't faculty be above all the rules(!)...  :-)
> 
> 2) Also, In assignments "View by student", the status shows as ungraded, even if in other
> lists it more accurately shows as "No Submission".
> 
> 3) In the assignments list, it also shows faculty as needing to submit assignments - this
> seems odd to me.
> 
> 4) On the grading page(s), it does not show what assignment is being graded; that would be
> nice.
> 
> 5) If one changes something for a past assignment (e.g. for a late submit), then there is a
> warning at the top of the page, saying "to confirm, re-click the post button", which is all the
> way at the bottom of the page and requires scrolling down to confirm. It would be nice to
> have a "confirm" button with the re-confirm message at the top.
> 
> 6) On the assignments list page, it shows two of the dates for each entry, open and due, but
> now the other two dates (accept until, resubmit until). Is there any simple way to get a
> complete list of the assignment specs. And dates? Right now it seems like one would have to
> click into each and do some manual copying and collecting of information. It would be nice to
> be able to get a list of this information for all assignments in a course; is this available?
