You can use Anonymous Grading to avoid bias when grading course assignments.
Instructors may hide student names from submitted assignments by enabling anonymous grading. Enabling anonymous grading during the creation of assignments allows for the elimination of grading bias.
Students are alerted to the anonymous grading setting on theĀ Upload Assignment page. However, in the assignment instructions, instructors may wish to tell students not to include any information that would identify them like including their name in an attached file for the assignment.
For detailed instructions on how to use Anonymous Grading in Ultra course view please visit Blackboard Help.
Student Experience
If an Assignment is set to be Anonymous, the student will be informed of this fact when submitting the assignment as well as when reviewing their grade with My Grades and on the Review Submission History page.
