Entering Grades

If you have grad­ed work that is not linked to an Assign­ment, Dis­cus­sion, or Quiz in Bright­space, you will need to record the scores man­u­al­ly in the grade­book. You can also choose to over­ride the auto­mat­ic grade trans­fer from Bright­space tools and enter grades your­self if that bet­ter fits your grad­ing work­flow.

Manually Enter Grades

  1. Click Progress > Grades.
  2. Click the arrow to the right of the grade item and choose Enter Grades.
  3. Enter the score that the stu­dent achieved on the assess­ment in the Grade col­umn.
  4. If you wish to pro­vide feed­back, click on the pen­cil icon under the Feed­back col­umn and type your feed­back into the field pro­vid­ed.
  5. You will only see the Assess­ment col­umn if you have a rubric attached to the grade item. If you have attached a rubric to the grade item, click on the rubric icon in this col­umn to enter feed­back using the rubric.
  6. Click Save.

*NOTE: If you have more then one screen of stu­den­t’s in your course, make sure you click the Save but­ton at the bot­tom of the screen before nav­i­gat­ing to the next page, or else your assess­ment will not be saved.
