Q: How do I ensure my final grade calculation is correct in my Blackboard course?

A: You can use the Student Preview user to test your final grade calculation. The function will generate a fake student account in the Grade Center and you can follow the instructions described in this video for testing.

Q: I have entered the grades for my students, but I keep getting emails from them saying they are unable to find their grades.

A: Check and see if the Grade Center column is hidden from students!

Q: My students’ letter grade doesn’t seem right. Why is that?

A: The letter grade scheme in every Blackboard course is only a sample one. You can learn more about how to customize the letter grade scheme for your department here.

Q: When I’m transposing grades into Peoplesoft, how can I get Blackboard and Peoplesoft to display the class lists in the same order?

A: It is best to sort both the Blackboard and Peoplesoft class lists by student numbers. Learn how to do that here.
