Create a peer-review assignment

A peer-review assignment is one in which students review and comment on each other's work. Students submit their review comments to you, and you comment on and grade their reviews.

As part of setting up a peer-review assignment, you need to specify the document to be reviewed (the base assignment) and define the student groups.

You cannot open a peer-review assignment as a student because you are not a member of a group. To see a student's view of the assignment, refer to the .pdf file Peer-Review Assignments: A Student Perspective.

Important: Make sure to read Best practices for creating a peer-review assignment.
