[Using Sakai] Faculty submissions.. late assignments, grading pages

[Gregory Guthrie]

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?
