Show/Hide marks in your modules
This staff guide explains how to show / hide columns in Grade Centre. One of the key features of Grade Centre, is that you use it to determine whether or not assignment columns are shown to allow students to see their marks in Provisional Grades.
Please note: the visibility of assignment columns is tied to the assignment settings. If you make changes to a Blackboard or Turnitin assignment, make sure to also check Grade Centre. The system automatically feeds any marks into the Grades section in the main menu on MyBeckett. Staff need to manually check that columns are hidden and shown.
- Check when creating an assignment, go to Grade Centre to check the column settings are correct - the column for the assignment needs to be hidden.
- Check when ready to release marks and feedback, go to Grade Centre and the columns needs to be unhidden.
To do these steps, go to the Module Management section in module menu and go to Grade Centre and click Full Grade Centre.
You may choose to make the Provisional Grades link visible in your MyBeckett module navigation menu for students to access marks and feedback within your module, but remember students will still have access to their provisional grades via the Grades link in the main menu of MyBeckett even if this is hidden.
a. By default, the Provisional Grades link is hidden from students. This is indicated by a square icon with a line through it. Instructors will only see this option when you are in Edit Mode.
b. To reveal the Provisional Grades link to students, click the circular down arrow button to reveal the menu options. Click on Show Link (rename this link if you wish).
c. Once revealed the square icon with a link through it will disappear and this indicates it is visible to students.
d. If you need to hide the link, repeat the above actions and select Hide Link.
You need to hide Grade Centre columns until you're ready to release marks / feedback to students.

Grade Centre contains a Total column which adds up marks for any other columns set to Include this Column in Grade Centre Calculations.
Based on feedback, Grade Centre’s Total column is now hidden from students by default in most modules. However, we recommend that you always check Grade Centre settings due to the manual nature of this process.
a. In Grade Centre, click the action link to the right of the Total column.
b. Click Edit Column Information.
c. Scroll down to the Options section, then change the Show this Column to Students setting to No.
d. Click Submit.
