This article is intended to guide instructors in creating an assignment with a peer review requirement. Peer review allows students to provide anonymous feedback to their peers

# **Setting up a Peer Review Assignment**

1. In your Ultra course, create an Assignment. For instructions see: [Creating Assignments in Ultra](https://kb.uconn.edu/space/TL/26045939985).
2. Once created, click the **gear icon** to open the Assignment Settings**.**
3. Under the Evaluation options, check the Peer review box, then click **Select peer settings**.
4. From the Peer review Settings, you can set.
  1. **Reviews Per Student**: The number of submissions each student is assigned to review. By default, these reviews will be shown to students when grades are posted. It is possible for a submission to receive more than this number of reviews, and by default those additional reviews are hidden from students. Submissions are assigned for review randomly and automatically, further a student may be assigned to review their own submission.
  2. **Assessment Due Date**: The date after which new submissions are marked as **Late**. Late submissions are still accepted, and placed into a pool at the time of submission. Students who begin their reviews after this submission are eligible to review the late submission.
  3. **Peer Review Due Date**: The final date by which Peer Reviews must be submitted.
5. Click **Save** to save and exit the Peer Review settings window.
6. Click **Save** to save and exit the Assignment settings window.
