Discussion Board threads have a Word Count - great -> this should be visible in Collect/Print & ALL teacher marking modules

At last Discussion Board threads have a Word Count - great -> this should be visible in Collect/Print & ALL teacher marking modules too

It's about time that this has happened - but what is the point of instructing students that they must write a certain number of words if the teacher cannot give feedback to the class (I tend to use computer projector) or discuss the work without seeing the Word Count. Even worse how tedious for a teacher (like me) having to download a Word Count app to count words for use in all the marking modules of Blackboard - PLEASE GIVE US TEACHERS ACCESS TO WHAT YOU GIVE OUR STUDENTS!!!
