Show us a list of recent assignments and upcoming assignments by default--a few days in the past and into the future. 95% of the time us teachers are either grading recent work or setting new work. Early and late in the week, I have to constantly switch between future and past Filters. Constantly switching Filters is driving me crazy.
This can now be accomplished with the restored Preferences for assignment lists:
From an assignments list, go to More > Preferences.
On Assignment Lists, set the default to Last and future # of days.
Specify the number of past days and future days and save.
