When your lecturer posts your marks and feedback for Assignments, you will be able to view these in the Gradebook. For most Tests that you take in Blackboard, your grade and feedback will be released automatically and it will display immediately in the Gradebook. Sometimes a test will contain questions which need to be manually marked and if this is the case, the result will not be visible in the Gradebook until your lecturer posts it.

 Instructions

The quickest and easiest method to check whether your assignment has been graded and feedback provided, is to select the Gradebook via Marks in the main Blackboard menu.

You can also select the Gradebook tab from the top menu within individual modules to view your grades.

Accessing your grades

  1. In the left menu when you login, choose Marks.

  2. Once the date to release marks and feedback has passed and your lecturer has posted these, you should be able to access and view any grades, comments, marks, or requested changes noted by your lecturer.

When you have new grades, an indicator appears on the Gradebook tab with the number of new grades and a purple dot appears in the list for each assessment that was recently graded.

  1. If your grades have not yet been posted by your lecturer, no mark will be displayed.

  1. If your lecturer has posted grades, these will appear in the Marks column and any overall Feedback will be indicated with a speech bubble.

Accessing your feedback

Feedback can appear in various places, depending on which method and media your lecturer has chosen to use provide it.

  1. Overall feedback for any item can be accessed by clicking the speech bubble in the Feedback column in the Gradebook.
