Peer Review

Module 4 Peer Review

Overview

A peer review assignment enables students to provide feedback on another student's assignment submission. Peer reviews are a tool that allows communication between students and can help students master the concepts of a course and learn from each other. Peer reviews can be assigned to show student names or display anonymously.

Many instructors find it useful to use a Peer Review assignment in connection with a Turnitin assignment. You may require students to receive a peer review, edit and improve their work, and then submit for final review and evaluation by you.
