The BlackBoard Grade Center allows students to check up-to-date grades, see an overview of all their grades for the semester, and view a list of all assignments including upcoming assignments. It can save instructors time by using a weighted or points-based gradebook. The Grade Center contains automatically generated columns like quizzes and tests as well as manually generated columns created by the instructor. It also allows instructors to add, hide, rearrange, and delete columns; grade and retrieve assignments; use the email function; and allows students access to their grades and feedback.
