Teachers can see the word count on Canvas if they use the built-in feature in the SpeedGrader tool or if the submission file (e.g., a Word document) inherently provides a word count. To view it directly, teachers need to navigate to the assignment and open the SpeedGrader, where the word count can be found in the details section of a text entry. This helps them ensure students meet the assigned word requirements.
