Blackboard Ultra (Students) - Journals: Comment on a Journal Entry

Commenting on a Journal Entry

Students can add comments to their own journal entries or those of their classmates, depending on the journal settings set by the instructor. Comments are a great way to engage in discussions and provide feedback.

Steps to Comment

1. Navigate to the journal within your Blackboard Ultra course in the course content area.
2. Locate the journal entry you want to comment on and click the title to open it.
   
   
   
3. Click the Comment link below the entry. If no comments have been added yet, it may say "Add Comment."
   
4. Type your comment in the text box that appears.
5. Click the Comment button to submit your comment.
   

Important Considerations

• Your instructor may allow students to delete their own comments. If so, a Delete option will appear next to your comment.
• You may be able to reply to other comments. If so, a Reply link will appear below the comment you wish to respond to.
• The instructor controls who can comment on journal entries. If you do not see a Comment option, the instructor may have disabled commenting.
