Some users have reported the following issue in Brightspace:
Issue:
In Brightspace, using Quizzes, some Instructors may encounter a very small number of quiz attempts where the quiz did not auto-grade.
This issue applies to (but may not be limited to) Brightspace 20.24.10.
Work Around:
As a workaround to this issue:
On the grade page for the attempt that did not auto-grade, please select the “Reset Evaluation” option and this will trigger the attempt to be auto-graded.
Course sites have been created for all Winter & Spring ’25 (West Campus, HSC & Southampton) courses. To access your course site, go to brightspace.stonybrook.edu and click the Login button. Login with your NetID username and password. If you do not see a course you are teaching, check SOLAR to be sure you are the instructor on record before submitting a service ticket at service.stonybrook.edu
Students DO NOT have access! All courses are set to inactive. Your students will NOT be able to access the course until you make your class active.
Once your course is active, all students who are registered will have access & you can add TA’s and other instructors to your course if you wish.
Students assume a class is using Brightspace and think something is wrong when they do not see their courses at the beginning of the semester. If you are not using Brightspace, please let your students know

Many students proactively check Brightspace just before the semester begins and contact us (& the Registrar’s office) when they do not see their classes.
Winter session begins on Tuesday 1/7 & Spring session begins on Monday 1/27
If you are using Brightspace, please make your class active & create an announcement for your students on or before the first day of classes.
All instructors will have the option to pull grades from Brightspace into SOLAR at the end of the semester.
The feature only works IF all students have a final grade in your Brightspace site.
Please take some time now to check that your gradebook is set up properly. You can find information at: Prepping Your Gradebook Before Importing it to Solar
