Extra Credit is not Calculated in Overall Grade When Weighted

Extra credit is not getting added in the weighted column. The overall grade remains zero, and modifying the extra credit column has no effect on the overall calculation.

Description

Extra credit is not getting added in the weighted column. The overall grade remains zero, and modifying the extra credit column has no effect on the overall calculation.

This only occurs when the column is weighted, otherwise extra credit functions as designed.

Steps to Replicate

  1. Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator

  2. Create a new course and enrol a single student

  3. Create a Test within the course

  4. Enrol a student and complete the test using the student account

  5. As the adminitrator or instructor, grade the test as 0

  6. Go to the Gradebook

  7. Under Markable Items add a new item using the plus symbol

  8. Give the item a zero total, effectively creating an extra credit column

  9. Give the student 100 points for the extra credit item

  10. Created a weighted overall mark, not including the extra credit column


Observed Behavior:

The overall grade remains zero, and modifying the extra credit column has no effect on the overall calculation.

Expected Behavior:

Extra points are added to the Overall Grades.
