BlackBoard Question of the Week

 Q. I am entering grades, and I would like to view only one student at a time in the Grade Center – is there a way to do that?

A. You can work with only one student at a time in the spreadsheet view of the Grade Center by creating a Smart View. Here are the steps to create a Smart View:

1. Click the Manage menu button in the Full Grade Center.
2. Select Smart Views.
3. Click the Create Smart View button.
4. Type a name for the view and, optionally, a description.
5. Under Selection Criteria, select User for Type of View.
6. Under Users select the student you want to grade. If you want to select more than one student at a time, click on the first student you want to grade, then hold down the Ctrl key and click on other students you want to include.
7. Under Filter Results, select the Grade Center columns you want to display; the default is All Columns.
8. Click Submit, then select the Smart View you created; you are now ready to enter grades.
9. To return to the view of the full Grade Center after grading in a Smart View, in the Control Panel click Grade Center > Full Grade Center.
