Bb Learn Grading Assignments -- Delegated Grading and Reconciling Grades

If you as an Instructor see plus/minus ReconcileIcon.PNG or  icon in an assignment column in "Full Grade Center" for one or more students...

Then Delegated Grading was activated in the that Bb Learn assignment's settings.

Delegated Grading is where an Instructor (generally) has to approve or "reconcile" grades submitted by a Teaching Assistant (TA) or Grader before the grades (or grading comments) appear to students for a Bb Learn assignment.

Here is how to deactivate Delegated Grading. And how to reconcile or approve or make grades appear.


Reconcile or Approve Grades -- Makes Grades Appear to Students and Instructor

If a TA or Grader has already submitted grades on a Bb Learn assignment with Delegated Grading enabled, it's best to just reconcile or approve the grades to that they appear to students and you, the Instructor. Here's how.

  1. In "Full Grade Center," click circled down arrow in the top row of the assignment where Delegated Grading is enabled.
  2. Click "Reconcile Grades."
  3. Click the down arrow in the "Final Grade" column, and click "Highest."

    This will choose the highest grade given by the TA or Grader for each student.
