Hello Andy,
I have been looking at qualitative BB rubrics over the last month and have noticed the same thing. When marking with the rubric the score reverts to 0 and as you have described, I have been altering the grade
before submitting ‘save’.
Once the rubric is used to edit the grade again- it also reverts back to 0.
I have also tried to use the ‘Override’ grade which seems to change the grade overall, but the grading done with the rubric still shows as 0. See example below:
Any others know of a way around this (sorry to not be of much help Andy!) or is this part of the process that should be made clear to members of staff using a qual rubric?

Subject: Non-scoring Rubrics
A question for anyone using Blackboard Rubrics, specifically non-scoring (“No points”) Rubrics.
It’s been a long week, and I can’t decide if the behaviour I’m seeing has changed from what I expected, or maybe I never tested it properly in the first place…
We’re on 9.1 Oct 2014 CU2.
I create a No Points Rubric and attach it to a Blackboard Assignment.
I then go in to grade submitted work.
I open the Rubric and mark the appropriate cells.
When I Save the Rubric, the grade immediately changes from – to 0 (that’s the bit I don’t remember happening in the past).
I can then type in a grade before pressing Save or Submit.
But if I return to this attempt and change anything at all in the Rubric – even if I just add some textual feedback – when I Save the Rubric, the grade reverts to 0, overriding what was previously there.
Has it always been like that?
I don’t suppose there’s a workaround, other than warning markers about this behaviour?
thanks
Andy
