If you create an assignment, test, quiz, blog, etc. in Blackboard and give it a point value, Blackboard will automatically create the associated column in the Grade Center. However, columns can also be created in the Grade Center that are not tied to Blackboard assignments for a variety of uses, 0ne is in face-to-face classes so students can check their grades online. Additionally, you can create columns to perform calculations on other columns and create a custom total column that can reflect an average of other columns, set up different weights, a minimum/maximum column.

You can access some group properties for the columns in your Grade Center by selecting Manage then Column Organization. Here you can reorder columns, show/hide columns, and assign categories in bulk.
