  • "I found the tutorial to be helpful and direct.  The actual process of entering grades and reviewing the entered grades was organized very well - the work flowed well.  The grade submission process was smooth and it is nice to be able to submit the semester coursework outcome direct to the computer system and to know that my students would receive the grades promptly."  David Border, Associate Professor-Technology Systems
  • "I just went through the tutorial for entering grades via the Faculty Center portal, and it was a snap to get them posted.  So, just fyi, it's WAY easier to go that route rather than try to enter grades via blackboard first." - Al DeMaris, Professor-Sociology
