Grading Assignments

When an assignment is created in Blackboard, a grade column is automatically created in the Grade Center. This makes reviewing and grading assignment submissions in the Grade Center easy to do. Assignments that have been submitted, but have not been graded, are indicated with a yellow exclamation mark.

Depending on your grading style, you can access and grade each assignment individually, view all submissions for one assignment, or view all of the assignments with submissions that need grading.
