Blackboard - How to View Feedback on Assignments

Step 1: Sign into Blackboard.

Step 2: Click on "Grades" or "My Grades."

Step 3: Search for the course which houses the relevant assignment (the one with feedback you want to see). The picture below is showing "Current Courses and Organizations," but if you click on the arrow in the upper left hand corner, you can see courses from past terms is well.

Step 4: Once you find the course, select "View All Work."

Step 5: If your assignment has feedback from the professor, you will see a little text bubble next to the assignment grade (with one exception, which we will deal with in Step 7).

Step 6:  As you probably guessed, your next step is to click on the assignment name! Your submission will pull up. You will see little comment bubbles on your assignment. If you click on them, you'll see what your professor had to say. You will also see more generic comments over on the right.

Step 7: There is one situation where you might have received feedback from a professor but the little chat bubble will not show up next to the grade. The situation is when your professor only uses the rubric to deliver feedback to you, and they make no comments on the actual submission itself. In this situation, you will simply see a "View Rubric" below the title of your assignment. Unfortunately, BB doesn't visually alert you when feedback is communicated via a rubric. You simply have to click on it in order to see if there is feedback waiting for you.

If you click on "View Rubric," then you will see something like the following:
