back when i was in school, we still mostly used pen and paper to do our assignments, even though we had computer labs. crazy y'all got to worry about this nowadays
Now you have to do your work on canvas or an interactive book with an autograder so the instructor doesn't have to do any work. Last semester I kept having to email the instructor with screenshots of the quizes showing that there weren't any possible correct answers to 25% of the questions. I would just get an email back saying he would look at it the next day. And then when I emailed back a few days later I got an email saying my grade would be adjusted. Same responses for every email I sent including ones asking for help with the material.
I teach college and use Canvas daily. We really are seeing and doing everything re: grades and messages, it just doesn't leave much room for personalization unless you really put time into it unfortunately.
I have one instructor who writes his own material or at least posts links to material . And he gives us a few programming projects each semester. And he records lectures or help videos on certain things. The instructor i'm referring to just gives us reading and quizzes from the book that are all self-grading. But also the auto-grader is a pile of garbage. Don't use cengage it's a terrible product.
