Students love instructor feedback and want to know how they are performing in their courses. With the start of the new academic year quickly approaching, why not try something new in your courses?

The Grade Center is the instructor’s central hub for keeping track of student assignments to grade, reviewing submitted assessments, and tracking student performance. Whenever a graded items, such as an assignment or assessments, is created in a Bb course, the system will automatically create a column in the Grade Center.
Save time and paper by requiring students to submit assignments through Blackboard. Then use the Inline Grading tool to embed feedback. Describe expectations and standardize the evaluation process with Rubrics.

Instructors can customize many Grade Center features, such as grading schemas (points/percentages converted to letter grades), categories (labs, projects), color coding (e.g., red to indicate at risk) and other important column information. The Grade Center also works well with many other areas of Blackboard including the Retention Center.
