Complete/Incomplete
Blackboard Ultra contains a system option for "Complete/Incomplete" built into each Assignment's grade settings. To access this option:
- Open the "Assignment Settings" for the assignment you wish to apply the Complete/Incomplete schema
- Scroll down to the Grading & Submissions section of the settings
- Click on the drop down menu under "Grade using" and select "Complete/Incomplete"
Important things to note about the "Complete/Incomplete" schema:
- You will still need to assign a maximum amount of points for the assignment.
- The assignment will show as
in the Gradebook once the assignment has been graded, regardless of how many points the student received (even if they received 0 points). - If the assignment has been submitted but has not yet been graded or if the assignment is not submitted by the due date, a
will appear in the gradebook for that graded item.

Yes. The points from a Complete/Incomplete assignment will still factor into the Overall Grade. The "Complete/Incomplete" schema option is more about preference for how you would like graded/ungraded/unsubmitted work to appear in the Gradebook. |

An Instructor may prefer the appearance of a Complete/Incomplete assignment within the gradebook as a visual aid for their students to quickly see which assignments have received a grade/feedback and which assignments need attention. Alternatively, this scheme may be used for something that isgraded but that grade is only meaningful as a component of another grade - i.e. a required rough draft submission X weeks ahead of the final draft deadline. |
