View Attempts and Feedback

Gradebook Item

If your instructor left feedback for multiple attempts, you can read each attempt's feedback. A message appears if your instructor has overridden the item's final grade.

Final Grade Override

You can also see how many attempts you have on the Course Grades page. You can see which attempts you submitted before the due date and if any submissions are or will be late.


Grades and Feedback

If your instructor needs to grade questions in your assessment, Not graded appears in the Grading section.

Not graded submission

Your instructor may choose not to reveal the correct answers to automatically scored questions until all students have submitted. A banner appears at the top of the assessment with this information. Check back later to see if answers have been revealed.

Correct answers hidden

Your instructor must manually grade some question types such as Essays, and then post the assessment grade and feedback. Your grades also appear on the global and course grades pages.

You can also access the assessment in your course to review your grade and feedback in context. Select the test or assignment title on the Course Content page and the Details & Information panel opens. Select anywhere in the Grading section to review what you submitted, available correct answers, and your grade and feedback. If your instructor left feedback, select the speech bubble icon to view it.

For questions where you chose from more than answer, you can select Show other options to review the answer choices.

Zeros Assigned to Past Due Work

If set up by your instructor, you may see zeros for work you haven't submitted after the due date passes. You can still submit attempts to update your grade. Your instructor determines grade penalties for late work.

You'll see your zero grade on your Grades pages and in the Details & Information panel for the item.

Grade Pills

Your instructor determines how to display your grade for each graded item:

  • Letter grade
  • Points
  • Percentage

Grade pill definitions

The grade pill for each assessment question and graded item may appear in colors or with dark backgrounds.

For the colored grade pills, the highest score range is green and the lowest is red. At this time, your instructors can't change the colors or the percentages. The colors map to these percentages:

  • > 90% = green
  • 89–80% = yellow/green
  • 79–70% = yellow
  • 69–60% = orange
  • 59–50% = red

View a Feedback Recording

Your instructor can leave a video or audio recording for additional feedback on your assessment grade. Recordings appear in the Feedback panel when your instructor assigns a grade for each submission. Select the film icon to stream the video to your computer or device. You can't export or download the feedback recording at this time.

Overall Grade

The overall grade helps you keep track of how you're doing in each of your courses. You can see if you're on track for the grade you want or if you need to improve.

If your instructor has set up the overall grade, it appears on your global Grades page and inside your course on your Course Grades page. Select the grade pill to learn more about how it's calculated.

The Overall Grade panel shows you how items and categories are weighted. For example, based on your instructors' preferences, tests may count for more than homework or quizzes. The percentage listed with each entry shows how much it contributes to your overall grade calculation.

Overall Grade
 

If your instructor decides to override your overall grade, a message appears at the top of this panel. You may still see a grade here or a grade notation to indicate that your participation in the course is unique. Example grade notations include Exempt, Withdrawal, and Incomplete. Your instructor can also create custom notations.
