Using the Blackboard Grade Center

The Grade Center in Blackboard is a place for instructors to track student performance. Faculty can create grade columns for any graded activities they want to record such as projects, discussions, and quizzes. This workshop will go over the basics of how you can use the Blackboard Grade Center to calculate grades, organize student-submitted assignment documents, create weighted columns, and exclude certain assessments from final score calculations.
