Blackboard Tutorials: Entering Assignment Grades

To enter student grades for course assignments that have been submitted to Blackboard, go to the Control Panel of the course site and click on the Grade Center link under Assessment.

We recommend entering grades from the Grade Detail page. To enter assignment grades:

1. Locate the Assignment column in the Grade Center.
2. Move the cursor over the first (or any other) cell in this column.
3. Click the Action Link to activate the menu.
4. Click Grade Details.
5. Scroll down to the Attempts table and Click the View Attempt button on the right.
6. Scroll down to section 3, Feedback to User, and enter a score.
7. Add any Feedback/Comment you want students to read in the Comment field.
8. To attach feedback as a file (for example, student original submission with your comments embedded), use the Browse button to locate the file you are uploading and select Open.
9. Use the Instructor Notes section to enter information for yourself or other teachers.This information is not displayed to students.
10. Click Submit.
11. If you want to continue entering grades for other students, select the next name from the scroll-down list on the top right of the Grade Details screen, and click on the Go button.
12. Repeat steps 5 to 11.
13. When finished, click OK at the bottom of the screen to return to the Grade Center.

Grades can also be entered directly into any cell in the Grade Center. Some Grade Center options will not be available if you choose this way of entering grades.
