Students can make comments in the gradebook known as "submission comments".  These are comments made by students in reply to a faculty member's summarized feedback, either in Canvas or Waypoint.  When a submission comment is made, an email is sent to the faculty member's email address (but not the Canvas Inbox) as a notification.

To view submission comments:

  • Go to your Canvas Inbox (1).
  • In the top middle drop-down column, choose "submission comments" (2).
  • You can then see the submission comments in your Inbox.

NOTE: You can reply to submission comments directly from the Inbox or from your faculty email address.
