Grading Assignments

In Ultra courses, you have several options to access student submissions.  You can click on the assignment to pull it up.  Then, click on Submission(s) at the top right.

You can also click on Gradebook in the top menu, then click on the assignment.

Either way, you'll be brought to the list of submissions for that assignment.  Click on one to view it.

If students have submitted files, you have the full Bb Annotate grading interface for each.  You can refer to the Annotating Assignments section in our regular documentation for details on the annotation controls.

You can view a summary of the SafeAssign report for all files by clicking on Originality Report. DO NOT base any grading decisions solely on the percentages generated by SafeAssign. You should check the reports for any high-percentage matches to determine if the content was plagiarized.  What constitutes a high percentage will vary based on the assignment.  For example, a creative writing exercise would have a much lower expected percentage match than a structured lab report.

To view the detailed report for a particular document, click on its name.

The report functions identically to the regular one.

You can leave general feedback for the assignment on the right. Remember to click Save when you're done.

Finally, enter a grade on the top right, and press enter.

Close the pane, and you'll be taken back to the grading interface.  YOU ARE NOT DONE! In order for your students to see the grade, you'll have to post it by clicking either the individual "Post" button to post one grade, or the "Post all grades" button at the top to post all students' grades.
