How do I create a fishbowl review assignment?

Fishbowl review assignments divide students into two groups: one acts solely as submitters, while the other reviews their peers' documents. Imagine one group inside a "fishbowl" submitting their work, while the other observes, reviews, and provides feedback from outside. Similar to Perusall's other Review-Based Assignments, Fishbowl reviews are structured with a series of cascading deadlines. The assignment setup is as follows:

  1. Navigate to the Assignments tab, select Add Assignment, and choose the Fishbowl review icon.svgFishbowl Review Assignment option.
  2. Under Basics, name the assignment and set the deadlines for each stage in chronological order.  
    • Select Students assigned to upload materials. These students will only upload materials, while the remaining students will review the submissions. Authors will not be required to review any submissions.
  3. Under Rubric, select a Rubric for evaluation of submissions by either using a pre-made rubric, create a new rubric, or choose Qualitative feedback only (no rubric). 
    • Enable Do not ask reviewers to provide overall feedback if you don’t want to require students to submit Overall feedback. Students will still be required to submit in-text comments.
    •  Learn more about customizing your rubrics.
  4. Under Options, specify assignment details, such as:
    • Instructions for students
    • The date the assignment is visible to students
    • Who is partaking in the assignment. ( If you select anything other than assign to entire class, make sure that the students who you selected as Students assigned to upload materials are included in this group).
    • Anonymous posting
  5. Under Scoring, select your Scoring template for this assignment from the dropdown, or create a custom one.
