Submitting Project 1 in Blackboard

Assignment: A content type in a Blackboard course which students use to submit their work online. Submitting an Assignment automatically creates an entry for the project in the course gradebook.

After a student submits an Assignment, the instructor retrieves it from the Gradebook, provides feedback, and assigns a score.

If you do not submit your project in BB using the Assignment tool, you will have a score of zero (0) for the project in the gradebook, you will not receive feedback from your grader, and it will cause delays in the grading.

Required Reading: Policy on Due-Dates.

  2. Project Grading Procedures.

    After you submit your project, your lab instructor retrieves it from the Gradebook, provides feedback, and assigns a score. This will be done within one week of the project due-date.

    A (!) in the gradebook means your project has been submitted but needs to be graded.
    A (-) in the gradebook means your project has not been submitted. (-) are replaced by scores of zero (0) after the project due-date.
    A score in the gradebook means your project has been graded. Click on the score, then hit the View button to read the Feedback to User. This is where all deductions, etc., will be explained in full.

    After your lab instructor enters your score in Blackboard you can retrieve the feedback, which explains any deductions that were made, using the grading rubric as a reference.

    If your project has not been graded within one week of the due-date, please notify your instructor by email.

  3. Student Responsibilities for the Gradebook.

    1. Submit all projects on time. You can not pass the course without completing the projects.

    2. Monitor your scores in the Gradebook. Remember that (-) are replaced by zeros (0) automatically. Notify your instructor of problems in real-time.

      Waiting until late in the term to correct Gradebook errors will negatively impact your final grade. If you don't notify your instructor of mistakes until Dead or Finals week, it's too late to help you.
