Access Grades and Feedback

There are many places in the system that allow you to view your grades and instructor feedback. Get a heads-up about new grades in your Activity Stream, view grades for all of your courses in the Global Grades area, view all grades in a single course in your Course Gradebook, or select an item in your course to view its grade and instructor feedback.

Your graded items may display as a letter, points, or percentage, depending on your instructor's preference.

For the colored grade pills, the highest score range is green and the lowest is red. The colors map to these percentages:

• > 90% = green
• 89–80% = yellow/green
• 79–70% = yellow
• 69–60% = orange
• >59% = red

If your instructor used the Inline Grading tool (Bb Annotate), you may view notes and comments within your submission. Use the tools at the top of the Bb Annotate window to navigate.

If your instructor added annotations, notes, or highlights you may view them in the Annotate Viewer.

If you download a copy of your annotated submission, be sure to open it in a native PDF viewer, such as Adobe Acrobat. There is a known issue with most browsers' built-in PDF viewers that will not render the annotations, thus not allowing you to view the feedback.
