While grading with a rubric, you can give written feedback in addition to selecting the achievement level for each criterion. You can give written feedback on an individual criterion or general feedback on the whole submission.
Based on how you prefer to use a rubric to grade (in the current submission window or in a pop-out window), you activate the feedback option in different ways.
Blue link will reveal the rubric rows and columns in the same window.
Check the box for Show Feedback. Text boxes will appear below each criterion.
The general feedback text box is at the very bottom of the blue column.
Be sure to click the Save Rubric button AND THEN the Submit button before leaving that student’s submission.
The small gray and white button will open the rubric in a new pop-out window.
Once you click or set a score for an achievement level, a text box for feedback will appear.
The general feedback text box is at the bottom of the window, below the criteria levels.
Be sure to save changes before closing this pop-out window.
Be sure to click the Save Rubric button AND THEN the Submit button before leaving that student’s submission.
While grading with a rubric, you can give written feedback in addition to selecting the achievement level for each criterion. You can give written feedback on an individual criterion or general feedback on the whole submission. (Note: these are, essentially, the same steps for using any part of the rubric to grade.) Unlike the Classic version of Blackboard, providing feedback with a rubric in Ultra is the same for assignments, tests with no questions, and discussions.
From an individual student’s Submissions page, where you would grade assignments normally, you should see an added Rubric tab on the right, below the score “pill” and above Feedback.
Clicking anywhere on that Rubric tab will show the rubric associated with this assignment.
What will open is an abbreviated and vertical version of your rubric. It may or may not be collapsed; if it is, you can simply click on the criterion title to expand it. You can add feedback for each criterion by expanding that criterion.
You can also include general feedback on the submission as a whole.
If you include general feedback, be sure to save your changes before leaving this student’s submission.
