Creating Practice Assignments in Blackboard

We’ve all heard the phrase “Practice Makes Perfect” and Blackboard provides a feature that allows instructors to create self-assessment assignments that will not be included in Grade Center calculations. Self-Assessment assignments can be created by adjusting one setting in a Blackboard test. If you teach a course that allows for dynamic questions such as Math or Science you can include Calculated Formula questions so each time a student launches the assignment they will receive different numbers.

Self-Assessment Options

[MUST BE UNCHECKED] Include this Test in Grade Center score calculations – When this box is unchecked the student’s grade will not affect the grade center total.
[OPTIONAL] Hide results for this test completely from the instructor and the Grade Center – When checked the student’s grade will not be visible to the instructor, but will be visible to the student.
