In an Instructor review assignment, you will submit your own work and then receive direct feedback from your instructor through in-text comments and rubric evaluations. Unlike Peer review and Fishbowl review assignments, your classmates are not involved in this process, and the assignment typically moves through four distinct phases.
1: Submit your document
During the Submission Phase, upload your work as a PDF, video, webpage, Word document, PowerPoint, Source code, or text file. You will receive a confirmation email once the upload is successful.
Preview: Click Preview my submission to verify the formatting before the deadline.
Re-uploading: You can replace your file as many times as you like until the deadline. Confirmation: You will receive a confirmation email once the upload is successful.
Once the submission deadline passes, your document will be hidden while you review others. It will not be visible again until Step 3. If you need your work for reference, keep a local copy!
2: Instructor review period
During the Instructor review stage, the assignment is locked. Your instructor is providing feedback, creating comments, and finalizing scores.
3: View & respond feedback
Once the Author review & response stage begins, your document is visible again so you can review your instructor's evaluation. Open the assignment to see specific in-text highlights, comments, and rubric scores.
Pro tip
Don't just read the feedback—reply to your instructors comments! Engaging in a dialogue about your work is often a key component of your final grade.
4: Check your grade
Once the assignment is fully closed and the instructor has released the scores:
- Navigate to My scores in the left sidebar of your course.
- Click on the score to see your Score Breakdown.
