How do I manage my students' peer reviews

There are several ways to manage which articles your students are assigned to peer review.

Randomly assign peer reviews

On the Students tab Overview, you (as the instructor) have the option to assign peer reviews randomly. This feature will use the number of peer reviews per student that you selected in the Assignment Wizard when you set up your course. It will attempt to assign peer reviews so that every assigned article has nearly the same number of reviewers, and each student has the designated number of articles to review.

Assign peer reviews manually

When you select an individual student fro the Students tab, you'll have the option to manage their assignments and peer reviews. Click 'Assign a peer review' to select a classmate's article to review, remove a previously selected review, or enter the title of another article to review.

Students choose peer reviews

Your students can manage their own peer reviews similarly to you. For students, this is done via the My Articles section of the Home tab.

Guiding questions

The 'Peer Review' link for each assigned peer review is a "preload" link that will load a set of guiding questions if the review hasn't been started yet. (This preload feature only works for users who are logged in on Wikipedia; if a student follows the link and reaches an empty page, they will need to sign in and try it again.)

Here are the preloaded guiding questions.

Finding completed peer reviews

Once a student has completed a peer review in the designated Wikipedia sandbox and saved it using the Publish button, you can view it via the 'Peer Review' link in the Students tab, Assignments & Exercises view.
