Blackboard Ultra Gradebook Setup FAQs
View in full page
When:
April 13, 2023

The end of semester is fast approaching. Is your Gradebook set up? 

The Innovative Learning Support Centre has compiled these frequently asked questions about Gradebook: 

1. “How do I set up Overall Grades?” 

Use the weighted grading calculation so students see the running total of their overall grade. Assign the weighted % values to each gradable item according to the assessment plan or structure of your published course outline. 

2. “How do I post Final Grades?” 

Calculate and share final grades with your students using the Overall Grade column. Verify that all gradable items/categories have been assigned the correct weighted per cent values, and only those counting towards the final grade are included. 

3. “My students’ overall grades don’t look right. What can I do?”  

Confirm that the checkbox “Base calculation on points earned out of total graded points” in the Overall Grade Settings is checked off so students see their actual grade earned to date out of all the assessments you have graded. If left unchecked, the overall grade would include assessments not administered or graded and would show inaccurate grades. 

4. “Why can’t my students see their grades?” 

Check that the assessment items and their content folders have been made ‘visible to students’ on the course content page. Confirm the release conditions settings are accurate to show course content to students during your specified timeframe. 

5. “Gradebook is assigning automatic zeros. What should I do?” 

Gradebook assigns automatic zeros for past due assessments by default, even for past courses that have been copied. Disable automatic zeros from the Gradebook settings to ensure that grades are not negatively impacted, and students are credited for all their work.
