View Grade Details
If you access My Grades from the My Institution tab or the My Blackboard menu, you see grades for all your courses. On the left side of the screen, you can sort by All Courses or Last Graded.
If you access My Grades inside a course, you see your grades for that course only.
The Order by drop-down list allows you to change the order by Course, Last Activity, or Due Date. By default items are ordered by course.
Above the list of gradable items, you can narrow the list by selecting All, Graded, Upcoming, or Submitted. For example, Graded shows only items that have been graded by the instructor.
If your instructor included feedback during grading, it is included inline. You can also point to a title and click the arrow that appears to show the type of graded item, such as assignment or blog.
Click on the Item Title (highlighted with rectangles below) to view the Grade Details, and the Call-outs (highlighted with ovals) for the overall grade feedback.
For Tests and Surveys, Grade Details will look like this. Click your score (highlighted below) to view question-by-question feedback (if available).
For Assignments, Grade Details may look like this. If your instructor has used in-line grading, you may see comments posted directly onto your assignment. Click the download button (highlighted below) to download an original copy or an annotated copy (with instructor comments) in PDF form. You can view additional comments by expanding with the double-arrow tab (also highlighted below).
If your gradable item has not been graded, the Grade column contains a symbol indicating its status. After an item is graded, the grade appears in the Grade column. To view more detail, click a graded item’s title.
If you are seeing grades from a previous term and no longer wish to see them, contact the instructor of that course.
