Blackboard Ultra: Student Orientation: Grades

 

Blackboard Ultra Orientation

View Grades in the Blackboard App

Grades

The app keeps your grades front and center, so you always know how you are doing. 

You can access your grades in two ways:

  • Grades on the main menu for all courses
  • Course Overview in a course

Grades for All Courses

Overall grades are not available for Ultra courses by default on the Grades page.   Your instructor needs to set up the overall grade for it to show in the app.  However, you can tap an Ultra course to view your graded work.

Grades for Individual Courses

In a course, your current grade displays at the top of the Course Overview. Tap the course grade to view your graded work


View Your Course Graded Work Detail

After you access grades from the main menu or an individual course, tap a course grade to see your submitted assignments, tests, quizzes, and graded discussions. 

To return to grade for all courses, tap the back arrow until the Menu button appears.  Next, select Grades. 

Image of Grade details

  • When you tap a graded discussion, you see the entire discussion. Access your course on a web browser to see a collection of your posts only.
  • Grading rubrics are listed under Details if your instructor associated a rubric with the item. In the app, you can view the rubric to see descriptions and point values for each criterion. Access your course on a desktop web browser to see the points earned and written feedback for each criterion and overall rubric feedback from your instructor.
  • You may see calculated grades, such as running totals, if your instructor uses them. Tap a graded item to view its details, list your attempts, and the dates and times you submitted.

View Attempts

  • Assignment attempts are visible.
  • Test attempts are visible.  Your instructor chooses whether you can view the correct answers or just the questions.

View Feedback

Your instructor may provide feedback on your attempt with your grade for tests and assignments.

Ultra course test and assignment feedback:

  • Rich text
  • File attachments (maximum file size limit is 300MB)
  • Multimedia
  • Inline grading notes on submitted files

Grade rounding in the app

The Blackboard app enforces these rounding rules that may cause grades to display differently from the Blackboard Learn desktop browser experience. Check your grade on a web browser to view all available decimals.

  • If the score or percentage is greater than 100, it is rounded to the nearest whole number.
  • If the score or percentage is less than 100, it is rounded to 2 decimal places.
  • The app does not display Insignificant figures.

Grade Color Display

Grades display corresponding colors in the app by default.
