  • Prepare students for the process:

    • Students will need clear guidance about the tasks involved.  

    • Students may be hesitant to find fault with a peer's writing, and clear instructions for critique can help them overcome this hesitation.   Consider providing a rubric (links to an external site) to  [external link] to guide them.

    • The Peer Review area can be confusing to students unless they know precisely how to navigate.   The Peer Review instructions (links to an external site) [external link] can clarify the process, and may be valuable to discuss in advance.

  • Determine what your role will be in the process: Will you also grade the assignment submitted for peer review? Or is this a step in the writing process and you will grade only the final submission?

  • Awarding credit for the peer review activity: There is no way to directly assess the reviewer, so create a second assignment with no submission and explain that points will be awarded for completion of peer review.  Make it a Complete/Incomplete assignment for easy grading.

Info
Important Cautions

IMPORTANT:

  • Peer reviews are not anonymous, although this option may become available in future.

  • The date for automatically assigning randomized peer reviews must fall after the due date for the assignment (the default setting must be changed, if only to fifteen minutes later).

  • Until the availability period for the assignment ends, both the original author and the reviewer can resubmit a file that will overwrite the original.  To prevent this, end the availability period at the due date.

  • If Peer Review is used for Group Assignments, the random assigning of reviews does not take group membership into account (so students might be assigned to review others either in or out of their groups).

  • When automatic assignment of peer reviews is switched on and a student makes a late submission to the assignment, the student is not automatically assigned peer reviews, even after they have submitted their work. To assign peer reviews to that student, the instructor needs to go to the “Peer Review” menu and either manually assign peer reviews to the student, or click the “Assign Peer Reviews” button.
