Exams Page, "Status"
On the "Exams" portion of a class, it'd be extremely helpful if next to close date or actions, there was a status table. Just a simple icon to indicate whether the exam was completed or if you still have to do it. This would be especially helpful since the grades page is so glitchy.

Different colors for submitting exam buttons
Have different colors for the submit and next question buttons.
Have confirmation like " Are you sure you want to submit this exam?"
I clicked the wrong button after the first exam and it submitted! Got a really bad score on that one!

Learning Suite Quizzes Should Save Automatically!!! (Or at least have a save button)
In the days of Gmail, when you can't got three seconds without your email draft being saved, how hard can it be to have Learning Suite save your work as you go?
Even if that is for some reason too complicated, couldn't we at least add a save button? I've had Learning Suite lose my work 4 times now when I click submit. Do you know how frustrating that is on a short answer quiz? It is possibly the most demoralizing feeling one could have, next to the emotions I felt when waking up this morning and seeing the ground…

Make the exam list sortable
Under the exams tab, currently the exams and quizzes are sorted by when they are posted. It would be great if we had the option to sort them by when they are due.

Retake Quizzes for Practice
It would be nice if we could retake quizzes for practice. It won't go towards our grade, but we can take the quiz just like normal as a way to study for tests. It could be an option that the professor can choose to enable.

View previous exam answers when multiple submissions are allowed.
When you complete submit an exam that allows multiple submissions it takes you back to the main exam page (with the "Start Exam Now" button). When you click to start it again you get a blank exam, so you either need to save your answers outside LS (generally a good idea anyway) or you start over. It would be nice to (1) see the answers you submitted after submitting the exam and (2) be able to see and edit your old answers when re-starting an exam.

Include a Personal Notes Feature on Learning Suite Quizzes/Exams
There should be a notes section added next to questions on quizzes and exams that we can use to leave notes for ourselves that can be used when we study old quizzes and exams later in the semester. It should be invisible to the grader.

The exam and quiz short answer text boxes need to be more than one line deep.
It is a pain even on short answer questions to have to scroll on the one line wide text box to edit through your answer.

Fix Exam List Available/Close Dates Sort
On the Exams List table when sorting the Available/Close columns they are sorted alphabetically and not by the actual date listed (e.g. Dec 01 is listed before Nov. 01 which is listed before Sept 01 etc). That makes the sort function on those columns much less usable.

View score of multiple choice separate from Written
When you finish an exam (with both multiple choice and written responces) it currently shows the score of multiple choice questions with the TOTAL number of points possible. This makes the score appear much lower because the written responses are not yet graded.
Allow the final score to appear such as : Multiple choice 37/40. Written responses ?/60 .
rather than currently: 37/1003 votes -

Have default markers to label Quizzes/Exams: 'Open Book', 'Open Note', 'Open Internet', 'Open Neighbor', 'Open Anything'
Frequently I run into issues with knowing (a) which of my quizzes/exams are open-book and (b) what exactly that means! On rare occasions, faculty will include this in the directions for a given exam (instructions that appear before you have opened the exam) but frequently it either is unstated altogether or has to be dug up in the syllabus. It could be worth considering adding default Boolean values for a few common exam 'markers' that could also have an associated description for times when there might be further confusion (the title of this item suggests a few). Easy-to-scan icons could…
