Display instructor comments and draft histories for composition and collaboration assignments

A draft history displays your drafts for a composition or collaboration assignment and any comments your instructor, and/or SourceCheck made on those drafts. The draft history also includes access to any comments your instructor added as audio or document files.

Note: For any document that you submitted to Pearson Tutor Services prior to July 1, 2012, the MyLab saves the tutor's review as part of the document's draft history. For more information, see Display comments from Pearson Tutor Services or Display comments from Pearson Tutor Services on a personal document.

To access review comments and draft histories for composition and collaboration assignments:

Do one of the following from the Home page:

  A window opens displaying a list of the assignments and documents with reviews that you have not yet displayed.
2. Click the title of the assignment for which you want to see reviews.
Display all review comments.
1. On the Home page, click the View All link under Reviews.
  The MyLab displays the To Do page and expands the list of Completed assignments.
2. Click the title of the assignment for which you want to see reviews.

The MyLab opens a separate window and displays the review comments and, if applicable, the draft history.
Select the reviewer whose comments you want to see from the Reviews drop-down list.

Notes on reviewing a draft history:

The Reviews drop-down list has the options for switching between Instructor, SourceCheck, Peer Review, and My Review comments. SourceCheck displays the report on an originality check of the document, and Peer Reviews are the comments entered by your peer group members for a peer-review assignment.
Note: For any document that you submitted to Pearson Tutor Services prior to July 1, 2012, the MyLab saves the tutor's review as part of the document's draft history. Click Tutor in the drop-down list to see these reviews. For tutor reviews on documents submitted July 1 or later, see Submit a document to Pearson Tutor Services.
When your instructor adds written comments to a draft, the comments may have associated links to Resource topics. The MyLab displays these links at the top of the draft history window and adds them to My Study Plan on the To Do page.
You can click the Print button to print a draft history and comments.

If the instructor attached a file with comments on your submission, the link to that file is in the upper left of the window.
Your instructor may have recorded an audio comment for you. If this is the case, the MyLab displays the player controls near the top of the draft history. Use these controls to playback the instructor's comments.
You need either speakers or headphones to play back the comment. Also, if you cannot hear the instructor's comments, you may need to adjust the speaker volume level or make sure it is not set to Mute.
