Why is the Blackboard Grade Center important?

The Blackboard Grade Center can be complicated, but it is very important to ensure that all of the grades it contains are accurate. Here are some solutions to a few common issues that will keep your students’ grades correct and organized.

What does the total column mean in Blackboard?

By default, the Total column in the Blackboard Grade Center will calculate as a Running Total, which ignores ungraded assignments. What this means is that if a student does not submit an assignment, the missing points are ignored in the Total calculation. For example, if a 200 point assignment is not submitted the final grade becomes 800/800 instead of 800/1000. This can cause confusion for students who think they are doing well in class when they really aren’t and anger when the error is discovered once the course is over and the incorrect grade is changed. Because of this, it is important to manually enter a zero for every assignment that is not submitted.

What are calculated columns in grade center?

Apart from columns that display information such as a student ID number or last log in date , there are calculated columns. These columns display information that is calculated based on certain criteria and the relevant assignment grades. Every course has at least one Calculated Column, the Total. Many, but not all, courses include calculated columns for assignment categories, such as discussions or tests, enabling you to quickly see how students are doing in a certain part of your course.
