Create a Peer Review assignment

Studium makes it easy to manage assignments in which students can give each other feedback.

When creating a new assignment, scroll down to the settings for Peer Reviews.

Check Require peer reviews
You can choose to assign peer reviews manually or automatically.
If you chose automatically, you have the option to set the amount of assignments per student to review
Set a date for when the assignment for reviewing will be distributed. The date has to be after the due date of the assignment itself, the date that you fill in further below in the settings.
NOTICE: Do not leave this box empty.

The assignment for peer review will appear in the students To Do-list in the course Home page for the students that have handed in their own work, first.

Manually assign peer reviews

To begin manually assigning which student who is going to give feedback to whom: on the assignment page, click Peer reviews.

Chose the other student's name from the list and click Add

The result looks like this: peer review assess to other student.png

Calle Andersson is going to give feedback to Anna Maria Svensson,
and Anna Maria Svensson is going to give feedback to Maria Svensson

If you have unassigned students, for example students that handed in the their work later than the due date, you can easily go in here and find the text to the right: Automatically assign reviews (see picture below) and choose to automatically assign them to other students. Type the number of reviews/feedbacks you want them to give, and click Assign Peer Reviews.

Only the new (late in this example) student/s are given a review assignment sfter this action. The other ones, that you have done the manually assessments are not changed.

Notice: If not all students have handed in assignments, those students won't be assigned reviews. It's only after they have handed in assignments that you can assign them reviews.

Grade peer review assignments

When an instructor is giving feedback or is grading an assignment they can see all the feedback that the students have given each other in SpeedGrader.

How does it look for the student?

When the student has submitted his/hers assignment, they will get more information after the date for the feedback-start. The student will get a reminder in the To do-list:

And, if they open the assignment they will see this information, with the peer-students name that they are going to give feedback: Peer review which student to feedback.png

The student can start the feedback by either clicking the link in the To do-list or, opening the assignment and click the students name (Anna MAria Svensson in this case). The student see this information, see below, and can start giving specific feedback in the text. 1. By clicking the link View feedback (a little strange information since they are going to Give feedback) they can see the text and give specific feedback with a handful of tools (the same as in SpeedGrader). 2. The student can give a comment in the box to the right. This box is an important place to give feedback. When a student has left a comment and clicked Save, Studium will mark the students assignment as completed. Peer review feedback student.png

When the student has finished the feedback it may look like this example:

Note: Students can only see the feedback they have given or received.

If the whole assignment is set on "Manual" in Grades the student feedback is not seen by the other students. Set the grading policy to Automatic for Peer review assignments!
