Many of our discussion board assignments ask for students to do a minimum number of words or a range (250-350 words, for example). It would be very helpful to see the word count in the student's entry somewhere. I know we can set up a grading requirement that an entry be a certain number of words to receive full credit but I don't find a place where we can actually see the count. Previously we used Moodle and there was a check box when you set up the board where you could select for it to display the word count in the bottom of the entry box.

Adam Sentz Official comment Word count was added to discussion posts some time ago.

Adam Sentz It's not available on each individual posts, but you can see some total stats on the student assignment page under the Stats tab. You might already know about that; just wanted to make sure in case it's useful.

Permanently deleted user I agree. It would be nice to be able to limit how many words a student may have in any given reply/post.
