I marked for the first time using the SpeedGrader and I was wondering whether there is a way to download the "Assignment comments" box which is in the sidebar, together with a student's submission, as it is possible in Turnitin. Alternatively, is there a way to print the Assignment comments box, without simply copying and pasting into a Word file?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have been commenting all the assignments of my students, only to find out that there is no way to download my own feedback! I know that I can download individual comments, one by one. It would be much easier to download a table with all the assignment comments, all at once. We need this for accreditation of engineering programs. C'mon, Canvas! It's such a basic feature! Everyday I'm more disappointed about Canvas and the absolute lack of technical support.

Hi, I use this workaround:
- go to https://canvas.school.com/graphiql
- paste this query (substitute the assignment id) in the query field:
query MyQuery { assignment(id: "70422") { submissionsConnection { nodes { commentsConnection { nodes { comment } } user { email } } } } }
- press the 'run' arrow
- copy the resulting JSON that appears in the field on the right (all of it!)
- go to https://konklone.io/json/ or another online json2csv converting service, paste the JSON, and you get a nice table with student emails and matching comments
Not ideal, but faster than copy & paste the comments one by one.
