The two mains ways students can access their Marks and Feedback are via the submission point on the Course Content or via the Gradebook.
To view their marks and feedback students use the Gradebook tab at the top of your Blackboard course page.
Student Gradebook view
The student gradebook will mirror the staff markable items view, however, any hidden submissions or those with release conditions will not appear here.
The Status column will show if their progress in the submission cycle.
- (a) Marked
- (b) Submitted
- (c) Unopened (the student has not yet submitted – they may have opened the item)
The purple feedback icon (e) will only appear for Blackboard tools, for Turnitin (and other third party tools) students will click on the submission title to open the Turnitin, where they can view their feedback.
Feedback panel
When the student clicks on the purple feedback icon a panel will open with their marks, additional feedback and a link to open the actual attempt to view the feedback inputted from the marking screen.
- (f) The mark
- (g) Additional feedback given via the Gradebook – see additional feedback
- (h) Open attempt and view the feedback inputted on marking screen
- (i) If marking with a rubric the Attempt mark will show the mark calculated by the rubric and not the override.
Please note: If you have given your rubric scores of zero to use it as a qualitative rubric the students will see 0/100 for the attempt mark (g).
Additional feedback & notes to markers
It is possible to provide some additional overall feedback from the submissions list in Blackboard tools once the submission has been marked (also possible after a mark has been posted). These comments are included on the feedback panel (e).
- (j) Feedback to student – appears on the feedback panel
- (k) Markers Notes – invisible to students
