Follow the steps below to create a new CodeGrade assignment in Blackboard: 1. Hover over **"Build Content"**. 2. Under **"Create"**, select **"CodeGrade"**. 3. Add a name and optionally a description for your assignment. 4. Set **"Points Possible"** to something greater than 0, e.g. 10. 5. Do **not** set a due date. 6. Click **"Submit"** to create the assignment. 7. Click on the newly created assignment and CodeGrade will open. 8. Click the link in the CodeGrade container to **set a deadline/due date** within CodeGrade. .. warning:: Always set **"Points Possible"** to a value greater than 0. Never set a **Due Date** in Blackboard, instead manage the due date inside CodeGrade. .. note:: Grades are automatically sent back to Blackboard after setting the **assignment state** to (:fa:`check`) **Done** in CodeGrade. While the assignment is in the (:fa:`check`) **Done** state, all grades and changes to grades are immediately sent back to Blackboard. .. note:: Students can hand in and review their feedback from within the CodeGrade container in Blackboard.
