If you did not use a Blackboard tool to create the final, you'll need: 1. To create a grade column. In the Course Management section, open the Grade Center tab, click on the Full Grade Center link, then on the Create Column button in the action bar. Name your column Final and select your options, but leave the default No Category option as is. Click on Submit. Back in the Full Grade Center, you may need to use the scroll bar to see your newly created column, as Blackboard placed it by default at the very end of the spreadsheet. If you want to move it elsewhere in the Grade Center, in the action bar, click on Manage, then on Column Organization, and reorder your columns. And don't forget to click on Submit! 2. To record grades and leave feedback. In the Full Grade Center, in your newly created Final column, click inside a cell and record your grade. Then press Enter to save. If you want to also post feedback, click on the Hidden Action button next to the grade you just posted and select Quick Comment. Click Submit to save your comment. Repeat the same steps for all students. 3. Go to the Percentage Final column that you created at the start of the semester. Click on the Action button on the right of the Percentage column name, then on Edit Column Information, and scroll down to the Select Columns section. In the Columns to Select box, select the newly created Grade column and use the arrow to move it to the Selected Columns box on the right. Make the column count for 100% and leave all remaining options as is. Click on Submit. You're done.
