Check on Feedback for a Blackboard assignment

After you complete an assignment on Blackboard, you may wish to see any details that your professor has set as "visible." The visibility of assignment details is at the discretion of your professor and you must take that up with him or her. While visibility and the kinds of assignments differ greatly, the following procedure is roughly what you will want to follow.

Purpose: Review answers to an assignment and read any of the instructor's feedback.



  1. Click on the triangle next to your name on the top menu. In this example, the student name is greyed out.
  2. A dropdown menu will open.
  3. Click on the My Grades icon.

  1. Scroll through the assignment selections to find the assignment you wish to review.
  2. The selection will show a highlight as the mouse hovers over it. However, the mouse icon will likely stay an arrow, rather than a finger for a hyperlink. 
  3. Regardless of the icon you see, click the selected box anyway.

  1. You will see some data about the selected assignment.
  2. Search the screen for the score you earned on the bottom right.
  3. If you do not have a score, that means the assignment is not graded and you will not be able to view it.
  4. Click on the score to access the assignment details and feedback.
