Open Assigned Peer Review
Under Assigned Peer Reviews, you will see any peer reviews assigned to you. Click the name of the assigned peer whose work you will be reviewing. The caution sign icon [1] indicates the peer review has not been completed. A checkmark icon [2] indicates that you have completed the peer review.
Open Anonymous Peer Reviews
If your peer review is anonymous, you cannot see the name of the student. The name of the student will also not be shown anywhere in the assignment.
View Peer Review
To download the assignment, click the name of the assignment [1]. To preview the submission, click the View Feedback button [2].
Create Annotated Feedback
If the assignment supports annotated feedback, the Preview button will display as View Feedback.
To open the document with Canvas DocViewer, click the View Feedback button [1]. You can add comments directly to the submission through DocViewer [2].
You can leave direct feedback on the assignment using DocViewer, but you cannot view any existing feedback submitted by another student or the instructor.
Note: In anonymous peer reviews, you cannot leave comments in DocViewer.
Complete Rubric
If the assignment has a rubric attached, you are only required to complete the attached rubric for the peer review to be considered finished. To view the rubric, click the Show Rubric link [1] and enter a score for each criterion in the Points column [2]. Each rubric score will create the total points for the assignment [3].
When you're finished, click the Save Comment button [4]. You may need to refresh your browser to see that you've completed the required steps for the peer review.
Note: Depending on how your instructor set up the rubric, it may or may not include point values. If the rubric does not include point values you will still need to fill out the rubric to complete the peer review.
Add Assignment Comment
If your assignment does not include a rubric, you are required to add at least one comment. You cannot view any existing feedback submitted by another student or the instructor.
Type a comment in the comment field [1], leave a media comment [2], or attach a file [3]. Click the Save button [4].
Note: When an assignment is muted, you can view peer review comments. However, instructor comments are hidden until after the assignment is unmuted.
