by | Sep 29, 2025 | Assignments, Blackboard, Grades, Ultra

You may know how to view your grades in Blackboard, but did you know that you can read feedback and comments that your instructor provides on your assignments? It is just as easy as viewing your grades!

Don’t know how to view grades? See our instructions here.

 

  1. Log in to Blackboard at learn.uark.edu with your UARK email and password.
  2. Click Courses in the left menu.
    Click "Courses" in the left hand menu
  3. Click on the name of your course.
  4. Click Gradebook in the top menu.
    Horizontal navigation menu from left to right: Content, Calendar, Announcements, Discussions, Gradebook, Messages, Analytics. Gradebook is hilighted.
  5. This will show all of your graded items for the course! From here, click on the View button next to the assignment grade.
    Example Gradebook View for a student. Assignment names are listed in the section below, and to the right of each assignment submitted is a View button.
  6. This should open up your most recent submission (if multiple attempts were allowed). Feedback for the assessment will be found on the left-hand side under the Feedback for student section.
    Sample submission view for a student, with the Final Grade displayed at the top right. In the left-hand side of the main content is the Assignment Content and the Submission Content with an example of a student submission as a text field. In the right-hand side of this area is the Feedback where an example feedback message from the instructor can be found.
    Note: Assignments that are done outside of Blackboard or as a column created by your instructor can be found in the same place! It will just not have an attempt view page since there are no online attempts.

    Example menu of the Grade & Feedback for a non-online assessment. The Grade is displayed in the middle-most area of the menu with Feedback for student found beneath it.

Note: If you ever don’t see feedback that you believe should be available, please reach out to your instructor!

And that’s it! Now you know how to view instructor Feedback!
