Give instructors the ability to add ad-hoc comments/notes about students from almost anywhere in the app.

1. Instructor should be able to add a comment for a student in as few steps as possible, 1-2 steps preferred.
2. It should be able to accept comments even when the instructor does not have the full name of the student. Partial name or email should work too.
3. It should be easy to retrieve and search comments. Again, partial name or email should work too.
4. Optionally, we can consider rich text comments and comments including other objects such as emoticons, pictures, attachments, links etc.
5. It should be possible to add comments for a group of students, to a team, or multiple teams.
6. Adding comments for other instructors (e.g. tutors) can be considered too.
