Grade Schemas - Additional Uses

This page contains ideas for other uses of the Grade Schema beyond a typical letter grade scale.

Complete/Incomplete

Blackboard Ultra contains a system option for "Complete/Incomplete" built into each Assignment's grade settings. To access this option:

  1. Open the "Assignment Settings" for the assignment you wish to apply the Complete/Incomplete schema
  2. Scroll down to the Grading & Submissions section of the settings
  3. 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 Green check mark pill 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 Grey pill box will appear in the gradebook for that graded item.


 "Do the points for a Complete/Incomplete assignment still factor into the Overall Grade?"

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.

 "When would I want to use to use this particular schema option?"

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 is graded 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.
