Peer review assignments allow you to review and discuss your classmates' work. A peer review assignment consists of four timed phases:
-
Students submit their work.
-
Students are assigned to review one or more peer submissions:
- Students score assigned documents according to the instructor-defined rubric.
- Students can also provide comments like regular assignments.
-
Instructors have the opportunity to read over the reviews submitted by students. Instructors can choose to exclude reviews and/or overall comments on a case-by-case basis.
-
Students see the scores and comments entered by reviewers and can respond to and continue the conversation with their reviewers.
The stages of peer review
Each stage of peer review is gated by the deadlines your teacher has set
-
In the Submission phase, submit your work by uploading a PDF or Word document. You can re-upload documents until the submission deadline has passed. On this page, you will also see the rubric that reviewers will use to evaluate assigned work.
-
In the Student review stage, you will review each document you have been assigned by filling out the rubric, providing overall feedback, and also creating in-text comments within the document.
-
In the Instructor review stage, you will not be able to open the peer review assignment. At this time, instructors have the opportunity to enter the assignment and review rubric and comment submissions.
-
During the Author review and feedback stage, you will now see the scores and comments entered by reviewers of your document. Now, you can respond to and continue the conversation with your reviewers and the author of the paper you reviewed.
