How do I manually assign peer reviews for an assignment?

Body

When you create a peer review assignment with manual peer reviews, you can choose which students will be assigned peer reviews.

Note:

When manually assigning peer reviews, students can complete their assigned peer reviews without having to submit their own assignment first. If you require students to complete their own assignment before being able to complete a peer review, you must automatically assign peer reviews.
If a student enrollment is deleted or becomes inactive, students will no longer be assigned to complete a peer review for the deleted or inactive enrollment. However, peer reviews already completed by the deleted/inactive enrollment will still display for students and instructors. If peer reviews have already been assigned, you may need to adjust assigned peer reviews.

View Assigned Peer Reviews

Assigned peer reviews appear underneath the student names. A check mark [1] indicates a peer review as been completed. A warning icon [2] indicates a peer review still needs to be completed.

Note: A student's peer review is considered complete after they comment on the submission. If a rubric has been added to the assignment, they must also fill out that rubric.

Manage Peer Review

You can also remind students who still need to complete their assigned peer review(s). Peer review reminders are sent as notifications.

To send a reminder, hover your mouse over the assigned peer review and click the Reminder icon [1]. To cancel a peer review, click the Delete icon [2].

To manually assign or reassign a peer review, click the Give [student name] another submission to assess link [3].
