Peer assessment facilitates student peer review of assignments.
When you select Use Peer Assessment, the settings will expand to show additional options. You may indicate the following items here:
- The Evaluation Period Finishes section notes the date when the last peer reviews can be submitted. (This date must be after the Accept Until date for the assignment.)
- Anonymous evaluation allows students to submit their reviews without their names appearing to those they are evaluating.
- Allow students to see reviews of their submissions enables students the ability to view evaluations from peers of their submitted assignment.
- The Number of submissions students must review is the total number of peer evaluations required.
- The Instructions for reviewers text box allows instructors to outline specific instructions to students regarding peer assessments.
Note: You must be using a Points grade scale in order to enable peer review and it cannot be a group assignment.
Post your assignment.
