# Comments per Assessment in Gradebook

Course Gradebooks support commenting for staff and course directors with full access to a course gradebook. This tool can be used to record notes and also automatically records the date and time that grades were entered or changed. Grades entered directly from the main grade assessments page or by a faculty grader, or those that are automatically recorded based on a quiz, exam, or attached Assessment and Evaluation form will automatically have the date and time of entry recorded.

Access the comments from the speech bubble beside a learner name. A filled in bubble indicates that there is a manually entered comment.
