Accessing your Gradebook

When you open your course in Ultra view, you will now see your course navigation listed as links across the top of the course page.


Click the "Gradebook" link.

When the Gradebook opens, you will see a listed view of your assignments, information/notifications about graded items, and your current overall grade.

Organizing your view in Gradebook


Once in your Gradebook, you can use the arrows next to the column titles to organize how you view your assignments. You may choose to view your assignments based on:

  • Item Name - A view of grade items in alphabetical order. This can be helpful if you're looking for a specific titled item.
  • Due Date - A view that can show you oldest to newest items, or newest to oldest. Click the arrows once to bring the oldest items to the top, click the arrows twice to view the newer items towards the top.
  • Status - Statuses for items include: Past Due, Unopened, Submitted, and Graded. Click the arrows once to organize grade items in the listed order just provided. Click twice to list grade items in the reversed status order.
  • Grade - Sort by lowest to highest or highest to lowest grade by clicking the arrows once or twice. This can be helpful when monitoring which grades have posted or grade items that may offer multiple attempts.
  • Feedback - By clicking the arrows twice, you can bring graded items with feedback to the top of your list

Notifications in the Gradebook

You may see different icons in your Gradebook view:


Red alert: This icon indicates when you have received an "Automatic Zero." Some instructors assign automatic zeros when no submission has been made by the assignment's due date. 

Hover over the icon for information regarding whether or not submissions are still being accepted. 



              


Rubric grid: This icon indicates that your assignment was graded (or will be graded) via a rubric that was attached to the assignment. See the "Viewing Feedback" section of this page for more information.



Comment bubble: This pink icon indicates that your course instructor has left written feedback for you to review regarding your assignment submission.


A comment bubble will not appear in your Gradebook view if the comment was left regarding a specific criterion of a rubric.

If there is feedback regarding any rubric criteria, you will see the pink comment bubble when you view the Grading Rubric results.

When the sidebar menu appears, click on the feedback comment bubble to open your graded submission. 


This will open your graded submission and you will see your instructor's feedback displayed on the right side of your screen.
