Identify Components of the Full Grade Center

1. Grade Center Row - Corresponds to a student enrolled in your course.
2. Grade Center Column - Represents a graded assessment.
3. Grade Center Cell - The intersection of a column and row. Represents a grade for a single student on a single assessment.
4. Create Column - Used to manually create a Grade Center column. This will allow you to include the score in Blackboard for any assignment that is submitted outside of Blackboard. 
5. Create Calculated Column - Used to create total columns (adding the points of other columns), weighted total columns (when using weighted grades), or columns that will calculate an average.
6. Manage - This button has several options, the most-used option is Column Organization, which can be used to reorder columns. If you are using weighted grades, you can also assign your columns to different categories.
7. Reports - Run reports of student grades. 
8. Work Offline - Download or upload a spreadsheet of your students' grades. You'll use this at the end of the term to send transactional grades and attendance to your division.
9. Filter - Temporarily change which view or category of assessments displays in the Grade Center.
10. Email - Email select students directly from the Grade Center.
11. Icon Legend - Shows what the different icons in the Grade Center mean.
12. Edit Rows Displayed - Temporarily change the number of rows displayed on a page. If you have a large number of students in your class, this can help keep you from scrolling as much.
