Step-By-Step
Students Viewing and Submitting an Assignment.
(Text version)

1. Some instructors use Blackboard's Assignment function as a means of providing a mechanism for students to submit to their instructor assignment material. To view and submit an Assignment:

• Log in to the Blackboard site as usual:
• Click on the content area and/or folder where the the Assignment is located. You instructor should let you know where it is located on the course site.
• Click on the "<<View/Complete Assignment:" link. This will display the "Uploading Assignment" form.
  
• Under Section #1, read the assignment instructions. If your instructor attached a file to view in connection with this assignment, click on the link next to "Assignment Files".
  
• When you are ready to submit the assignment, type any comments you may have into the box marked "Comments".
• Click on the "Browse" button. This will display your computer's file locater dialogue box. Using the dropdown box on the top of the file locator, locate the directory and folder that contains the file you want to send to the instructor. Click on the name of the file then click on the "Open" button on the file locator. The locator dialogue box will disappear and the path to the file will be located in the box next to the "Browse" button.
• If you have more than one file to send click on the "Add Another File" button. This will allow you to add addition comments and a "Browse" button to add an additional file.
  
• You can at any time click on the "Save" button. This saves the assignment, comments and your attached files in their current state, allowing you to come back later and make changes.
  
• When you are ready to submit the assignment to the instructor, click on the "Submit" button. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the assignment has been submitted to the instructor. Note: Saving the assignment does not send the file to the instructor. You must click on the "submit" button to send the file to the instructor. Once you submit the assignment to the instructor you will no longer be able to submit additional files for this assignment.

2. After you have submitted your assignment, the instructor may send you back a grade, comments or a file. To view these comments or download the file:

• Click on the content area and/or folder where the the Assignment is located.
• Click on the "<<View/Complete Assignment:" link.
• A notice will be displayed telling you that you have already submitted the assignment to the instructor. To view the results click on the "OK" button. This will display the Review Assignment page for the Assignment.
• If the instructor has graded the assignment, the grade will be listed under "Grade".
• If the instructor has sent you comments about the assignment they will be displayed under "Comments".
• If the instructor has sent you a file you can view the file by clicking on the link located under "Files from Instructor".
