Sorting Items in the Gradebook

Return to tutorial list

The entries in the gradebook can be sorted and filtered to help you quickly identify students or assignments that you need to evaluate.  To do this you first need to log on to Blackboard, enter your course and click on Control Panel in the lower left of the screen.

In the Control Panel screen locate the Assessment area and click on the Gradebook link.

You can sort items by various settings.  For example, if you want all the quizzes to be close together, sort by Category.  If you would prefer to see all assessments sorted in alphabetical order, sort by Title.

Because each assessments can be in different categories you may only be interested in looking at essay grades or final exams.  To do this you need to filter the gradebook display by Category.  Remember you can also create custom categories, so the list of categories can change from course to course.  Only the assignments or grades within the selected category will be displayed after you click on the Go button

If you have a larger class and wish to filter students by their last name, select the first letter of their last name and click on go.  Only the students with the last name starting the letter you selected will appear.
