Accessing Feedback
There are several ways that professors can share written feedback on an assignment in Blackboard. If there is a purple Feedback icon next to the item in the Gradebook, they have used one or more of the following methods to provide you with further information about your work.
Overall Feedback box
The Feedback box is on the right side of the assignment submission panel. This is where an instructor might share overall thoughts about the submission. They may also indicate that additional feedback can be found using one of the methods below.
Recordings in the Overall Feedback box
Your professor may also leave you a video or audio recording about your work. If they create an audio or video recording, the file will appear in the Overall Feedback box. Click on the icon to open the recording in a pop-up window.
Inline Grading
If your instructor used the inline grading tool, you may see dialogue icons, brush strokes, shapes, or images within the submission display. You can click on the dialogue icons to expand typed comments.
Rubric
If your instructor uses a rubric to provide feedback, you can see that information by selecting the Rubric icon found directly above Feedback. Click on the heading of a criterion to learn more. If a comment was made specifically about a certain criterion, there will be a purple icon next to it, as seen in Criterion 1 below. Click the Criterion header to see any description of the criterion provided by your instructor and the score you received.
