View your feedback for Blackboard assignments

What is it?

When your instructor grades your work, they may provide feedback—either written or as audio/video recordings. Feedback is valuable not only for praising your strengths but also for offering constructive advice that can help improve your performance on future assignments.

What does it do?

You can access feedback directly from the assignment or test submission link, or from the Gradebook tab for an overview of all your grades and feedback across the course. New grades and feedback are highlighted with visual indicators, making it easy to identify what’s recently been marked.

What should I know?

 

Step 1: Access the Gradebook

  • From your module page, select the Grades tab in the main menu.

  • Choose the specific course, then select the Gradebook tab at the top right of the page.

  • If you have new grades, a purple dot and a number indicator will appear showing the number of new grades.

Step 2: Identify Feedback and Attempt Info

  • You will see a list of all your graded items. For Blackboard assignments and tests, feedback is indicated by a purple speech bubble in the Results column.

  • The submission status (e.g., started, submitted, late), and feedback availability will also be displayed.

  • After a due date passes, missing work may automatically display a zero(if setup by instructor). However, you may still submit it—subject to your instructor’s late work policy.

Blackboard assignment submission

  • For Blackboard tests, you may be able to review your answers, view the correct answers ,or see automated feedback for each question, depending on how your instructor has set up the test. If this is allowed, you can view this by clicking back into the submission and attempt just like you would for an assignment.
