While some teachers benefit from the vision and capabilities of the new "Commit Grades" feature, there are some who do not. Those teachers experience the "commit grades" button as a meaningless additional click in their grading process.
One way to seek a middleground that works for all-users is to add a gradebook setting to instantly commit assignment grades the moment they are entered. This would enable teachers who do not benefit from the vision of the current "commit grades" feature to reclaim those additional clicks this change requires of them.
Yes! I find myself missing the commit button, because it is located at the top of the column, especially when I am entering single grades.
I agree. It would also be helpful to see the assignment stats before committing - it seems to require committing before having any data come from what is entered.
