We can set the school-wide default view for the assignment center (but wish teachers and students could have a personal preference to override). But there is no option to set the default view when a teacher navigates to a class and then clicks on the assignments tab there. We'd like the ability to set a school wide setting there too as well as allowing teachers and students to override with a personal preference. I know it seems like a small thing since they can click the icon to change, but this is a big deal to staff.
Calendar view is far better than the alternative (which I find confusing). I would greatly appreciate the ability to make it the default view.
