Create Peer Review Assignments
When creating an assignment, you can require students to complete a peer review of another student's work.
You can manually assign or have Canvas automatically assign peer reviews for you. You can also allow students to see other students' names in peer reviews or make them anonymous. When anonymous peer reviews are enabled, instructors and TAs can still view the names of student reviewers in SpeedGrader and in the student submission page. However, if anonymous grading is enabled in SpeedGrader, the names of both students will be hidden in SpeedGrader but not in the student submission page.
To complete the peer review, students are required to leave at least one comment. If you include a rubric, they are only required to complete the rubric.
Notes:
- To learn how assignment and peer review due dates appear in a student's To Do list, view the Peer Review Tips resource document.
- Peer reviews cannot be used with External Tool assignments.
- Students can see peer review comments if assignment grades are hidden. However, students cannot see instructor comments until after assignment grades have been posted.
- Instructors cannot edit or delete student peer review comments.
