blackboard assignment

grade centre for different
assignments such as Turnitin
• For non-electronically submitted
assignments a grade centre
column can be created manually
and the rubric added to it

8. Adding Rubric
When you add a rubric a pop-up box will offer to adjust the
assignments marking to the maximum possible in the rubric
The attached rubric displays here and
you can set options for this assignment.

9. Marking using Rubrics
The Rubric can be accessed through grade centre on the “grade details” screen – which
also has an area for general feedback and adding grading notes (visible only to instructors)
Opens rubric in a new window

additional feedback box opens to
give specific feedback about this
criteria

11. Marking using rubrics
When you get to the end you can change the overall
mark and explain why in the feedback area
IF you are allowing students to view the rubrics then
you can add your general comments here but if they
don’t see the rubrics use the comments box after
clicking save

12. How student accesses
When accessing my grades, if you have allowed the student to view the Rubric with
marks, the student will see the mark and a button to view the rubric.

13. What the student sees from My Grades
If you have allowed viewing of rubrics including marks

14. Working display options
Dual monitors, or using a
PC + laptop, will make it easier
With a reasonably sized monitor side
by side display is perfectly possible
