Submitting Assignments

The Blackboard assignments tool presents a variety of learning activities. You view and submit assignments from one location. Your instructor designs assignments that require you to:

- Provide text on the Upload Assignment page.
- Attach files from your computer or from the Content Collection.
- Both provide text and attach files.

Assignments list the name, description, and attachments for class work. Your instructor provides you all the information you need to complete the assignment. You can include comments for your instructor before you submit your work.

- To check for grading, access the Grade Center and if provided, click the grade which will take you back to the assignment itself. This is important because your instructor may make "comments" about the assignment, and/or in some cases attach a file back to you. You can also return to the assignment itself within the course to see if your submission has been graded or if feedback has been given from your instructor.
