Criterion Section Headings

With this feature, teachers can add headings/titles to criteria sections. This applies to all types of criteria, rubric sections, scale criteria and comment criteria. Existing assignments are not affected by this change; when teachers start creating new sections in new assignments, they are able to see that this feature available and they can enable it.

When giving feedback, student will see the feedback criteria grouped in accordance with the section headings added by the teacher.

In the grading table, the feedback criteria will also be displayed with their corresponding section heading.
